Dear Mr. Black
I want to be a coalminer in your mine .
I am writing to you sir because have heard it would
be a brilliant place to work and it would be an honour
to work for you .
There are many reasons why I am suited for the job.
Firstly I am very strong and flexible. Secondly I am a
very hard working person I will dig all morning and all
afternoon and all night with out any breaks at all .
For instance I was working as chimney sweep.
In addition to these skills I must say I am very brave
and I love the dark.
I am very happy to bring my own candles in.
Yours sincerely
Albert Khamis
