You mentioned that my duties would be the following: fixing computers, serving customers, and installing software. There's one issue we did not discuss: When do I start? I can be available with a week's notice. Call me any time after 5:00, or even sooner if you have need of me! Although I am still working in my present job, my manager knows I am going through a career-changing process. I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Susanna Marinelli
