Dear Brian,

I hope you are doing well! If so, that’s awesome.

I’m excited to tell you that I’m going to study in the same country where you have been living since we last met. I chose this country because of its amazing culture and the high quality of education, which is praised by people from all over the world.

My major will be backend development, and I’m happy to know there are many job opportunities in this area. However, I also heard some negative feedback about studying abroad, but I remembered that you have been living and studying there for two years without any complaints, which reassured me.

One of the problems that annoys me is tuition fee. Even though my parents are covering half of the cost, the remaining amount is still too much for us — around 1500 euros, which is quite significant compared to the income levels in my home country. Therefore, I’m planning to find a part-time job for about five months to facilitate the financial situation in my family.

I’m writing to ask if you could help me by checking if there are any job openings, especially related to development. It would be great if you could recommend me to any local companies or send me any opportunities you might hear about.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Your friend, Ibrahim
