I don’t really feel comfortable with this new idea of telecommuting. I wish I
could come to the office every day I have done for the past 5 years.
My name is Amanda. I am a hairdresser. I work in a beauty shop in the north of
the city. I am a single mother and have two beautiful sons. Mike is nine and
Steve is two. While I work, my mother takes care of my sons. She has always
supported me. But now my mom is really sick. The doctor recommended her
moving to a quieter place. So, she is moving in with my brother who lives in a
small town. If my mother moves, I will probably have to quit my job as I don’t
have anybody to take care of my kids. I wouldn’t leave them with a stranger,
especially the little one.

Dear Gary,
I am Paula and I am learning English at SENA, I read your story and for me
is an interesting case, for that I am going to give you some advices.
In my viewpoint I think that you could look for some activities that you enjoy
in your home, for example if you had finished your jobs fast you would have
go to a park and ate an ice cream.
Also you can start talking with the people and meet friends in your
neighborhood and in you free time you can share time with them and in this
way you could be more sociable and you will have more friends.
Finally you could talk with your boss and with him you can agree a way to
find him in any moment that you need him. For example if you need a
clarification or you have a question you call your boss or your partners and
you will solve your problems
As a conclusion: I think that the best way to manage this situation is that you
find the advantages of this way to work and you have to find a solution for
the problems besides you could transform disadvantages in advantages.
This sample will help you write your letter. It also has useful expressions you can
use when writing your letter. Good luck!
