    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.

    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.
