PART 4
You are a member of the ‘PERFECT AU PAIR’ service. On your last visit to their website
you saw a private message from a host family.
Dear au pair,
I am sorry to inform you that we won’t be able to keep your £70/week salary due to
recent financial problems. For this reason we have found ourselves forced to reduce
it a 10%.
We feel so sorry about it and will appreciate your comprehension.
Kind regards,
Jane

Hello Sara,
What do you think about the decrease of 10% of my working salary? I can’t believe they are going to
lower my salary and work the same hours. If you ask me, the family should offer me fewer hours of
work if they plan to pay less. I just signing up and already a decrease of my salary.

Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing in relation with the previous e-mail and I want to show you my disagreement about the
decrease of 10% of my working salary to take effect from next week.
I have been working with you for three weeks and I feel It is unacceptable to decrease my salary so
soon after signing up. I think you should rethink the my salary decrease If I am not doing my job very
well.
I would like to suggest several alternatives:
1. First of all, personally I believe that If you have to decrease my salary, you should reduce my
working hours.
2. Secondly, If you do not want to reduce my working hours, I would love you to pay me monthly
a transport card to be able to travel around the city.
I look forward to hearing back from you If my recommendation is acceptable if not, I will look at other
job offers.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours faithfully.

my disagreement about the increase of 10% of a fee for the meals order
to take effect from next week.
I feel It is unacceptable the increase of 10% of a fee for the meals order. I
think you should rethink the fee increase if you are withdrawing services. Comentado [2]: evítalo, lo repites demasiado
I would like to suggest several alternatives:
1. First of all, I believe that If there is an increase of a fee for the
meals order, you should have some offers in the menus.
2. As a second alternative, it would be very interesting for
customers to give away some starters or bottle of wine
I look to forward hearing back from you If my recommendation are
acceptable if not, I will look at other restaurants offers.
