alt_sally_anneMrs Stretton,
At the end of summer hols, you sat me down for a discussion of my future. I turn 17 this spring, and will take NEWTs in two years; you wanted to let me know that you were interested in hiring me on as an assistant, during holidays starting next summer and full-time once I graduate. You offered me 6 galleons/week to start, 8 galleons/week after six months, with room and some meals included (I assume it would be the room I've slept in as your foster child.)
I am working toward other goals, but I very much appreciate your offer, and I wanted to recommend to you a fellow NEWT student who I think would be precisely what you're looking for. Megan Jones is in my year; she is a proud member of Hufflepuff House. Her marks are generally excellent (she received Es on her OWLs in Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Defence, and Astronomy, and is working on NEWTs in those five classes). Like me, she is a fostered half-blood; her foster mother is Estella Penworthy, an elderly lady who lives in Dorset. She is loyal and hard working (as you'd expect from a Hufflepuff) as well as organised and efficient.
I think she'd be exactly what you're looking for. Since it's not clear whether I'll be with you at Christmas, and since you're always exceedingly short-handed, I've proposed to Megan that she spend the beginning of the Christmas holidays with you, to help with deliveries and the other pre-Christmas-rush work. I assume she'd want to spend Christmas itself with her guardian, but she might be able to return on Boxing Day to help with the end-of-year work. (I think she'd quite enjoy the usual Boxing Day rounds on the estates.) If the arrangement proves mutually agreeable, I expect you'd be pleased to extend to her the same offer you made to me. She turns 17 in May.
She thinks her guardian would view this as an excellent opportunity for her.
My own plans, as I said, are to attempt to gain admission into a Healing Apprenticeship; failing that, several of my teachers have offered to help me find employment. I certainly appreciate the many opportunities you have given me to learn and grow as your foster-daughter, and I am confident that I will make you proud and bring you credit as I make my way in the world.
Your devoted foster-daughter,
Sally-Anne Perks
(P.S. You'll note that I've included Megan Jones on this PM; she may want to add to my introduction, or if you'd prefer, you can take it to owl post.)
