Dear Sarah,

Hi, how are you? I hope that you are well. I just wanted to tell you some exciting news. I got a new job. You know I was working for that marketing company in Brisbane, well I was beginning to get a little frustrated there because I wasn’t learning anything new, so I decided to apply for a few positions I saw advertised on the internet.

Anyway, I had some interviews a couple of months ago and I was offered a position as Content Manger with a digital marketing agency in Sydney. I’ve been here for a couple of weeks now and it’s great. I’m responsible for organizing and coordinating online content for several marketing campaigns for different clients. It’s really interesting and there are a lot of new things to learn about.

I had to move, obviously, so I’ve got a new apartment too, it all happened so fast. I’ve been really busy at work and organizing the apartment and everything. I’m looking forward to this weekend when I think I’ll be able to relax for the first time since I left Brisbane.

Hope everything is good with you, I look forward to hearing your news, write me soon please.

All the best,

Dear Samantha

Hi, I hope everything is going well for you. I haven’t heard from you for a while. I’ll be at home this weekend so I’ll try and call so we can catch up on what’s been happening since we last talked.

Anyway, I have some exciting news for you. I got that job I was telling you about; remember, the one in the international company dealing with event marketing. I started a couple of days ago, and so far it all seems wonderful. The other people in the office are great and my boss is a woman and she seems very nice. I’m really happy because you know I didn’t really like my old job, it was a horrible place to work and my boss used to make everybody feel stressed out.

So now I’m in charge of a small department that is responsible for marketing events throughout the country. There’s a lot of new things to learn but it’s all very interesting so I’m really enjoying it at the moment. I think there might be an opportunity to travel on business in the future too, so I’ll be looking forward to that if it happens.

I’ve already met some super people there and I think we’ll be good friends. This weekend we’re all going to a BBQ so it will be a good chance to get to know each other a little better.

I’ll try to call you sometime next weekend; I hope you’ll be at home. It’d be lovely to chat for a while and catch up on what you’ve been doing.

Until then, take care, and all the best to you and your family.
