Model Answer 1:
Dear Julian,
I'm so glad to hear from you after such a long period of time since we both graduated from university. From your letter, it sounds like you've been quite busy travelling to some parts of Europe and doing a couple of part-time jobs. Your interest to find a job in Japan is exciting news to me as it would allow us to meet in person whenever we want.
Well, you'd be glad to know that right after receiving your request, I had started to look for an opportunity for you, and I surprisingly found out that there just might be an opportunity for you at a company in my country which is trying to hire some international marketing consultants from abroad, especially, Europe to promote its product in Europe. And given that you have a degree in Marketing Management and excellent communication skills in English, I think that this job would suit you perfectly.
So, please just visit the website of this company called “Mizomi Appliances” and follow the instruction on its “career” page in order to apply for this job.
Best of luck, and I look forward to meeting you soon.
Warm wishes,
Nagamoto

Dear Jasmin,
It's good to hear from you after a while, and I completely understand your interest in finding a job here in London. Luckily, a week or so ago I came across a teaching position that might be a good match for you considering your interest and skills.
A well-regarded primary school in West London, called Riverside Academy, is currently looking for elementary school teachers. The role involves teaching young students, planning engaging lessons, and creating a supportive learning environment. Given your passion for education and previous teaching experience, I believe you would be an excellent fit for this position. Additionally, the school is known for its welcoming atmosphere and strong support for new teachers.
To apply, you will need to submit your CV and a cover letter through their official website's (www.riversideacademy.co.uk) career page. I would also suggest reaching out to the headteacher directly via email to express your interest. If you need any help with your application, I’d be happy to review your documents.
Let me know if you need further details. I'd love to see you here in London soon!
Warm wishes,
Lily

Dear Chen,
I hope you and your parents are doing great! It’s been a while since we last caught up, and I was really glad to receive your letter. From your letter, I came to know that you’re looking for a job in the USA, and I might have found something that suits you perfectly.
You'd be glad to know that a software developer position is available at Innovatech Solutions, a growing tech company based in San Francisco, USA. The role involves designing and developing web applications, troubleshooting software issues, and collaborating with a dynamic team on innovative projects. Since you have a strong background in programming and problem-solving, I believe this job would be a great fit for you. Plus, the company offers excellent career growth opportunities and a competitive salary package.
If you’re interested, you should visit their website and submit an online application. They require a CV, a portfolio of previous projects, and a short cover letter explaining why you’re interested in the position. I’d be happy to help you refine your application if needed.
Let me know if you need any more details. I’d love to see you working here soon!
Best wishes,
Andrew

Let me explain more about this wonderful opportunity which is currently available.
Firstly, this position is for a software development enthusiast who has a computer science background, and this is exactly the requirement that matches your studies and passion. It involves writing codes and developing applications in Java which I believe suites you really well as you already have great skills in the Java programming language.
