Hi Johnny,
I’m sure I can help. Can you send me your bank statements and some more numbers so that I can work out all your incomes and costs and your year end assets and liabilities?
Best
Your new accountant ;-)

Hiya,
Happy Christmas. I hope you had a good 2007. As you know, a year ago I came to New York with nothing. Sorry I haven’t been in touch, but I’ve been busy. When I arrived I took out a loan, found some work in a bar and stayed in a cheap hotel until I found myself a room. I bought a car and a suit which helped me to get a better job. I did so well that I was able to take a trip to Las Vegas, book a holiday to Hawaii and even lend money to my friend.
I hear you’re doing an accounting course so do you think you could do my accounts for the year?
Take care and get in touch
Johnny
