Dear Ali,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to apologise for not staying in touch and request your contributions to find a job in your country.

honestly, during the years I couldn’t connect with you, I engaged with a serious health problem, which prevented me from reaching out not only to you but also to others. Moreover, I was compelled to work even weekends to pay treatment payments.

After spending treatment periods, I decided to continue my education at Tabriz Medical Sciences in your country. I believe that it can help me enhance my sprite and confidence. Furthermore, it would be a great opportunity to become aware of your country culture and background.

However, I would need a part-time job to afford my living costs. So, I would appreciate it if you could lend a hand to find a suitable job with my condition.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to reach out if you need any further information regarding my abilities.

Best regards,

Mohammadreza
