Spanish letter: letter of presentation for friend.

 

Querido Paco:

Me complace mucho presentarte a mi hija mayor, Jenny, a quien habrás visto en fotos muchas veces. Es una niña formal y juiciosa y con total disponibilidad para el trabajo en general. Jenny quiere pasar un verano en Málaga con el fin de mejorar su español. Te acordarás que actualmente estudia la carrera de filología española y francesa en la universidad.

Afortunadamente, ya le han ofrecido un trabajo en un hotel que se llama HOTEL PLAYA en Benalmádena pero su contrato es sólo durante el mes de julio y quiere pasar allí los meses de julio y agosto también. En el caso de que no encuentre otro trabajo para estas fechas le he dado instrucciones para acercarse a tu casa con esta carta de presentación.

Espero de ti que le ayudes en la tarea de encontrar algún trabajo temporal durante dichos meses como camarera, recepcionista o algo por el estilo. Su nivel de español es alto aunque no perfecto, claro. Sé que le ayudarás gustoso, dada la amistad que nos une y lo muy introducido que estás en la sociedad malagueña.

Recibe un cordial saludo y mi agradecimiento

Raymond O'Hara

I am pleased to introduce you to my eldest daughter, Jenny, whom you will have seen many times in photos. She is a very polite and sensible girl and always willing and enthusiastic in whatever type of work she has to do. Jenny wants to spend a summer in Malaga so that she can improve her Spanish. You will remember that she is studying Spanish and French at university at the moment.

Fortunately, she has already been offered a job in a hotel called HOTEL PLAYA in Benalmadena but her contract only lasts the month of July and she would like to stay on during August and September too. If she has no luck with finding further work for those months, I have given her instructions to call on you with this letter of introduction.

I would be grateful if you would help her out in finding some type of temporary work during July and August like a waitress or receptionist job or something similar. Her level of Spanish is high but not perfect of course. I feel confident you will be able to help out as a favour between old friends and knowing that you have many contacts in Malaga.

Many thanks and kind regards

Raymond O'Hara
