    The document contains an informal letter applying for a job and several revisions to make it more formal. The original letter from "India" uses informal language like "Right now" and "Get in touch". The revisions replace informal words with formal language, address the recipient properly as "Dear [Name]", and close with "I look forward to hearing from you" rather than just a name. The final version addresses the recipient as "Dear Mr. X", uses proper grammar, punctuation and formality throughout in a bid to make the letter suitable for applying for a nursing position to someone they do not know.
