Dear Paul, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Salutation

I have just started work! Thanks God. Finally, I conquered Jakarta. I told you many years ago

that I would conquer this metropolitan city.

I am now working in office, Rainbow Advertising. It is an advertising bureau. There are thirty

people in the office. I am a graphic designer. The computers here are sophisticated. I am reallyamazed. This is the place Ive been looking for. The office is not big, but cozy. Everything is well

decorated. I love working here.

My boss is Miss Claudia. She is the owner of this company. She is a nice woman. She is about

35. Some of the people in the office are also nice and helpful. I have made a friend with two girls

called Jody and Laura. They are also graphic designers. They are my seniors. Both of them

work very well.

The work is easy., you know I love working with computer. The graphic design room where I

occupy is not too wide, but it is nice. I work here with Jody and Laura. No wonder we becomefriends. I also like the atmosphere.

Now I stay at Jl. Veteran No. 12, about 300 meters from the office. I go to the office on foot. I

have never had problems with traffic. As the result, I am always punctual. It is quite a good

value.

Love to Katie and Frank. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Closing
