Dear ............,
Model Answer 1:
Dear Angela,
I hope you and your family are doing fine, and I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch recently. I’m writing to let you know that I have resigned from my previous company and took a new job recently.
You remember that I was working for a consultancy firm and I told you how much I was looking forward to changing my job? Well, I have joined a travel agency last month and the new job is exciting. In my previous job, I was working really long hours and, to be honest, the pay wasn’t great. So basically I applied for a job at a new company that was looking for people enthusiastic in taking challenges and are interested to travel. I thought it is a good fit for my expectation and took the opportunity.
I was a bit nervous in the interview, but in the end, I got the job as a senior travel consultant. The remuneration in the new job is better, the working conditions are great and I don’t have to work long hours anymore. Besides, they offer performance bonuses and I would be able to travel to different places and explore many places!
I have also enrolled in a diploma course at the University of Edinburgh and started a new travel blog. My parents have come to meet me two days ago and I have plans to take them to show them around.
With love,
Emma
Sample Answer 2:
Dear James,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. I apologise for not being in touch with you for a long. I am writing to let you know that I have recently changed my job and I love the new job.
As you know, I had been working for over a decade in the field of strategic planning for an after-sale automotive company. Unfortunately, my office shifted to another city last January. Afterwards, travelling to and from the office became quite tough due to the distance and notorious traffic congestion. I often had to spend more than 4 hours in the street and I had barely any time for my family. Thus, I was forced to change my job to save the daily commuting time.
I took a job with another company in the same industry and so far I love my job. It has better remuneration, office environment and friendly management. I hardly need 20 minutes to reach the office. Moreover, my new duties which include managing a support team of 18 employees is more pleasant than that of the previous office.
By the way, I almost forgot, my wife would be travelling to Canada to attend a seminar and she asked me to invite you to a family party next week. We would be grateful if you and your family could possibly attend it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm wishes,
Behzad
