Sample Answer:

Dear Paul,

It is always pleasure to write you. Hope things are okay for you. It has been a long time since we last wrote each other. I have got a Marketing Manager position in Nestle S.A. I feel so happy to share the news with you. As I told you earlier, my previous job was so boring to me. I kept working on same type of assignments and there was no opportunity to get experience from other sides.

You would glad to hear this that I am so happy with this job. The office environment and responsibilities are ideal for me. My main responsibility is to promote the baby foods. The most exciting matter is that the country manager is specialist in marketing arena. I believe I can learn invaluable knowledge from him.

You also would be happy to know that I have been provided a luxurious flat by the company. I am eagerly waiting to share my new luck with you. Please, visit me next month if you are free at that point of time.

With best wishes,
Laura
