Band 8 letter sample | Letter to a friend asking for assistance with finding a job

Question: you are going to another country to study. You would like to do a part time job while you are studying, so you want to ask a friend who lives there for some help.

Write a letter to this friend. In your letter

– give details of your study plans

– explain why you want to get a part time job

– suggest how your friend could help you Dina a job.

I am delighted to tell you that I am moving to your location to pursue higher studies.  My admission has just been confirmed to the University of Toronto, and I am so glad that I will see you very soon.

 I am going to study Masters of Business Administration, which is a two year full-time course. I will also be allowed one year to find full-time job if I choose to work there. Since the course is very expensive and  there will be living expenses on top, I was thinking of taking up a part-time job along with my studies. It will help me bear my daily expenses. I was wondering if you could help suggest some job options in this regard and guide me on how I could apply for such jobs. Ideally, I would look for work closer to the university so commuting is not difficult.

Waiting to hear from you soon!

Love and regards,
