Hi Kelvin,

How are you getting once? It has been two years since we last met. Today, I am living in Perth, Australia now and life is getting tougher as I have been jobless for 2 months and used up my saving. However, I manager to land myself a job in a restaurant as a waiter.

As you might know that I came to Perth for my tertiary education of 1 year and unfortunately I found it is difficult to find a job here after my graduation here because I am holding a student visa and now a temporary visa. I felt at lost sometimes during my unemployment period and have been doing odd jobs such as car washer and pizza delivery driver before getting a full-time job as a waiter.

Now, I have sufficient saving and I wish to invite you to visit me and you can stay with me in the same bedroom as there is an additional mattress for you. I will show you around when you arrive and keep me posted when are you coming. My email will be

mrniceguy@gmail.com , feel free to drop me an email if you are visiting me.

Your brother,

Benny
