Dear Sam,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and best of spirits. I am writing this letter to ask your guidance on how to find part-time job.

The main reason I am asking you this is because recently I have moved to your city for my masters and, while studying I want to work part-time to cover my expenses, and not to put burdun on my parents.

Moreover, I have completed my undergrad degree in the field of Computer Science. Thus, I would prefer if I can find the position of developer or data-entry role. On the other hand, I have previously worked as a cashier in the Walmart. Therefore, I would not mind working in the supermarket.

Additionally, can you provide me guidance where I can find the job posting for different position? As, I know that you recently got the job so you might have information about it. Furthermore, can you recommend me to your current employer. If I will get the job there, then we will be able to work together.

I hope to hearing from you soon.

Your friend,

Paul
