Dear
Professor Garreis,
This
is the first contact and first message for me to send an Americanprofessor.
Please
let me introduce myself.
My
name is Takako Ota. Please call me Taka.
I live
in Ibaraki.
Ibaraki
is north of Tokyo.
How
long does it take you to get to the university?
My
major is accounting.
My
hobby is listening to music.
My
favorite singer is Carpenters.
I love
the sound of the Carpenters, too. What is your favorite song of theirs?
My birthday is July 17th. I am twenty years
old now.
I want
to be a licensed tax accountant.
Because,
My house is a temple, and I want to use my knowledge to help with its
management.
What a
good career choice!
In
this class I want to study the distinction between American and Japanese
accounting.
