JOBS, NEWS AND A VISIT
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am applying for the position of senior accountant advertised on my jobs.com. I have been working as head of development with Ball Ltd since 2015. During that time, I have opened offices all over Europe and I have looked after the company’s accounts and payment systems. Before that, I was a purchasing assistant with a small firm in southern England. I am attaching my CV and copies of my qualifications and I hope to hear from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully, James Page

My dear Sally,
Thanks so much for your really sweet letter, which I got this morning. I’ve been meaning to write to you for ages and let you know what has been happening with me and the family. We’re all doing fine. Karen, our eldest, is leaving school this year. She was offered a place at art college last month but I don’t think she’ll take it. She says she wants to take a year off and do part-timework. However, she told her dad that she was having second thoughts. Kids! You can’t live with them and you can’t live without them. As I probably told you, I’ve been looking for a job for months and months. Last week I was contacted by the personnel manager at a big company in Brighton. I called them immediately but I was told that the guy was on a business trip. So now I’m biting my nails until he gets back. Fingers crossed! I can’t wait to see you again: tell me when you have some spare time and we’ll get together for a drink and a nice long chat.
Lots of love, Stephanie.

DES EMPLOIS, DES NOUVELLES ET UNE VISITE
Cher Monsieur, Chère Madame,
Je pose ma candidature pour le poste de comptable senior publié sur myjobs.com. Je travaille comme responsable du développement chez Ball Ltd depuis 2015. Pendant cette période, j’ai ouvert des bureaux partout en Europe et je me suis occupé des comptes et systèmes de paiement de la société. Avant cela, j’étais acheteur adjoint pour une petite société située au sud de l’Angleterre. Je joins mon CV et des copies de mes diplômes et j’espère avoir de vos nouvelles dans un proche avenir.
Je vous prie…(etc), James Page

Ma chère Sally,
Merci pour ta gentille lettre que j’ai reçue ce matin. J’ai l’intention de t’écrire depuis une éternité et de te faire part de ce qui se passe pour moi et ma famille. Nous allons tous bien. Karen, l’aînée, passe ses examens finaux cette année. On lui a proposé une place à l’école des beaux-arts le mois dernier, mais je ne pense pas qu’elle va l’accepter. Elle dit qu’elle veut s’arrêter une année et travailler à mi-temps. Cependant, elle a dit à son père qu’elle avait des doutes. Les gamins ! On ne peut pas vivre avec eux et on ne peut pas vivre sans eux. Comme je te l’ai probablement dit, je cherche un boulot depuis des mois et des mois. La semaine dernière, j’ai été contactée par le responsable du personnel d’une grosse société à Brighton. Je les ai appelés immédiatement, mais on m’a dit que le type était en voyage d’affaires. Donc maintenant, je me ronge les ongles jusqu’à ce qu’il revienne. Je croise les doigts ! J’ai hâte de te revoir : dis-moi quand tu auras du temps libre et on se retrouvera pour boire un verre et papoter tranquillement.
Je t’embrasse, Stéphanie.
………………
Salut, sympa d’avoir de tes nouvelles ! Ca fait trop longtemps. Je viens à Brighton la semaine prochaine. Je t’appellerai dès que j’arriverai.
Prends soin de toi, Scott
