Sample answer

Dear Sarah, ===== I hope you are doing well. I'm writing to you to pass some good news. As you know I've been looking for a new job opportunity for quite a while. The main reason for that was getting a better position as a child psychologist with higher salary. I'm so excited to tell you that I've got that dream job of mine now. Moreover, I have been working there for a couple of weeks. Everything has been so wonderful and I finally feel more satisfied with my career. Honestly, I was so disappointed with myself for a very long time because as a master's degree holder of clinical psychology, I was not really happy to work in a nursery school which I could even do without my degree in psychology. Besides, they need a consultant in my new company, as a result, I'm writing to you as I thought you might be interested in it. Let discuss in further if that is something you are up to. If you have time next week maybe we can meet for a coffee? You can come over to my place if you would like to. Actually, I have moved to a new flat to be in commuting distance of my workplace. But, I can always send my new address to you. Looking forward to hearing back from you. ===== kind regards, Yasamin
