Housemaid Wanted
I am in urgent need for a housemaid to look after my house and my 80-year old father. We want her to do cleaning and washing, and help do cooking.
My family has six persons, we live in a modern 5-room flat on the second floor in a downtown building. There is a small, airy, bright and cozy room for her to sleep and rest in. We have a full automatic washing machine, TV set and computer with which she can amuse herself in leisure hours.
Wages will be decided on days you worked. Workdays, $30 per day and on weekends, $50 per day. If you would like to be a housemaid in my family, we can also decide through mutual consultations.
If interested, please contact me by phone 3035768 or e-mail me to jackeyfam @ gmail. com.
My address is: 204 Building 18, Lotus Road, Holwood City.

Dear Sir,
I am very happy to see your "housemaid wanted" in the Helping Forum.
I am a university student and I study in Holwood University. This is my secbnd year for college. My family is in Florida, and my parents' financial condition is not very good, so I have to earn the tuition for myself on winter holiday.
I want to be the housemaid in you family to take care of your father. I can wash and clean, and I can also cook. And my cooking is rather good. If I have the chance to work in your family, you will have the chance to enjoy the pizza that I cook. There are six members in your family, and I guess you must have children. I can also be a tutor for them if necessary.
In short, I hope you can give me the opportunity to be the housemaid in your family. If you like, you can e-mail me or telephone me at 1256278 any time you are convenient.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes,
Your sincerely
Linda Smith
