My dear father,
I hope this letter finds everybody at home in the best of health and happiness. I am doing well here and have completed two days at my new work place.
The atmosphere and living condition here is very good and I am enjoying my work. On the day of joining the bank, I was allotted a quarter in the near vicinity of the bank. The best part is that here quarters have 24 hour uninterrupted power supply that makes living easy in this hot summers. My branch manager Sir is a very nice person and maintains a friendly relation with his employees. In the coming two weeks I will be to under a short training that will train me to handle customers and bank functioning in a proper manner. I am enjoying this new phase of my life. Hope to see a letter from you soon.
Your loving son,
Somesh
