Proofreading

Hi, I will appreciate if you proofread my letter. Thanks

You have recently started work in a new company: Write a letter to an English-speaking friend. In your letter
  • Explain why you changed jobs
  • Describe your new job
  • Tell him/her your other news
Dear Glenn,

I hope everything on you and your family side will be great. I am writing to you to provide you about excellent news of myself. Recently, about one moth ago, I changed my career and now I am working as a leader of a process group in a well-known company named “Origin”. You know that through my previous job, I had improved my profile to a level of which a number of process engineering corporations contacted me, encouraging to work with them. My previous company, “BhP”, also faced economic issues which resulted in a lot of redundancies. Therefore, I decided to take this unique opportunity and have joined this amazing company.

Moreover, I got married. I bet you can guess who is my fortunate wife? Yes, Jane who I always talked with you about and ultimately she accepted my proposal after seeing my potential abilities.

I am enthusiastically waiting for your reply.
With love,
David
