Hello there, My name is Nicholas Greenberg. I hope this message finds you well. I am sorry if the title is a little strange, but I wanted to get the main points across before proceeding to this message.
I live in Sasaguri, Fukuoka and I am currently looking for either a full-time job or part-time job somewhere close to the area or if it is just one school I have no problem. I’ve copied and pasted my resume at my bottom and I wanted to share my contact information with you.
