Dear Adam, My name is Alex Green, and I received your name and mailing address from a renowned magazine in Japan called Nara Pen Pals. I am very excited to have this opportunity to write to you and become pen pals. I hope you would write me back. I’m currently working as a computer programmer in a large multinational company in Japan. I graduated from Waseda University with a Bachelor’s degree in computer science in December 2017. While I greatly enjoy my current job, I’m interested in pursuing a Master’s degree and hope to begin graduate studies next March. My hobbies include blogging, travelling listening to rock music, playing the piano and playing table tennis. I try to visit a different country each year and so far had been to eight of them. I would be glad to meet you someday. I hope I would be able to become your friend and then meet you to know more about you. Well, let me finish here. I am already eagerly awaiting your reply to this first letter. Please tell me all about yourself and your interests. Warm wishes, Daniel Red
