Maxim’s Work Letter of Enquiry Medical Testers Needed
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing in connection with the advertisement which I found on the internet. I would like to ask you some questions about the job you offer.
It is not clear to me how often I will have to take this secret syrup and for how long. Will there be any doctors to consult? I am interested to know when you plan to start your testing.
I would like to ask for further information about this drug. Does it have any side effects? What illness does this drug cure? I would be grateful to know more details about this medicine.
Briefly about me. I am a healthy and strong seventeen-year old student. I must confess that I am a risky person. I’ve never had any serious illnesses except of chicken pox. I strongly need to earn some money.
I would like to get no less than $4,000 for the testing of the medicine.
I am looking forward to your answer.
Yours sincerely,
Maxim
Here is my letter of enquiry
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing in connection with your advertisement about testing a new wonder drug. I think I’m the right person who you need, because I am not afraid of anything and I am healthy, moreover I need money. Nonetheless I have got some questions to enquire.
At first, I would like to know what this drug is for? When and where the testing is going to be held? In what way should I take that drug? Has this drug been tested at least on animals or people will be the first who you would like to try it on?
As for my health, I am quite healthy and strong enough, but I am allergic to some kinds of animals fur. I don not remember any other serious problems with my health.
I would like to know more details about money. If I stay alive, I want to get €2000, but if I die, you must pay my family €500,000.
I hope I am the right person for testing your medicine.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
Bogdan Berezenko
