Hello Mr Anpo!! (Please print and let the people at Akashi see this! Yoroshiku!) Thank you for your congratualtions!! I'm sorry that I haven't been in contact earlier - I've been extremely busy ... as you know! Here's my news since I got back to the UK. Please pass it on to the ladies and gents at Akashi ESS!!

My sister had her baby on April 4th. It was a girl and her name is Jennifer! She's beautiful (just like her uncle Neil!!!!) - I got a job! I secretly started to appply for it when I was still in Japan and got a first interview on April 4th (the day my niece, Jennifer, was born - good luck, hey!) I had two interviews for the job in London - the first one with two interviewers and the second one with five people inrterviewing me!!! Scary!!! And after I'd passed both of them I had to have a medical examination ... all together the interview process took about six weeks!! But, I made it and from June 5th I started the training course to be a JAL Cabin Crew! I was so happy that I got the job, because it was the first (and only) job I applied for! The training course consists of 5 weeks in London and then six weeks in Tokyo. At the moment I'm on week 3 in London. I go to Tokyo to train at the JAL Training Centre at Haneda Airport in July 13th. Still a long way to go, but I should be flying as a cabin crew from the end of August. I am in the 'London Base European Crew Department of Japan Airlines'. That means that I will fly between and , so somewhere in Europe to Japan and back - in many different combinations! I should be going to Japan at least three times each month!! It's the perfect job for me! Again, please tell everyone at ESS that I'm sorry that I haven't been in contact. Especially those people who sent me individual e-mails and letters - thank you, by the way! In May my father got quite sick and had to spend a while in hospital too. It was all very 'taihen' and although I wanted to send you all emails, I couldn't. I'll 'gambaru' from now on!! Please send my best wishes to everyone. I'll be in contact again soon - and, you never know, maybe I will serve one of the Akashi ESS members on a flight to Europe some day!! I'll try my best to get you into business class!!!!!!!!!!!

Dewa, yoroshiku onegaishimasu! Mata-ne! Neil \(^o^)/
