Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jackson,

I am writing to tell you that I have
arrived home safely and thank you
both very much for being so kind to
me during my stay with you. It was a
wonderful experience which I am
sure I will always remember.
I really appreciate all your efforts
that made my stay in your home a
happy one. My room was very
comfortable and every meal was
delicious.

I enclose a reference from my present

employer. I would be grateful if you would
consider my application. I am available for
interview any weekday morning. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Your faithfully,
Marry Wilson.

My trip to Britain has certainly

improved my English, too. What
helped me most was the chance to
practice English with you every day.
You both made me feel like I was a
part of your family. I have never
thought I could be able to speak
English so well.
Thank you again for your kindness.
Best wishes,
Marry.
