 4. What does she think about London?
 Hey little brother, how are you doing? I bet you can't wait to leave school and start that apprenticeship. I can't remember if you got a place at Autofit or City Bridges ...
Anyway, here's some news - I'm coming back after this job. Don't tell Mum yet - I want to surprise her. I'll be in Auckland in May or June, I think. The café I'm working in is losing customers and money, and two staff are leaving next week! I'll be next, I reckon. So I'm going to take a few months out and see what turns up back home. I could look for another job here, but after almost a year of waitressing I feel like doing something new. London has been brilliant, but I'm not going to stay here forever. I suppose I'll have to think about what I'm going to do in the long term at some point soon.
 I'll need to find somewhere to live in Auckland, that's the first thing. I guess you're going to stay at home with Mum. Apprentices don't earn much, do they? I was talking to Brett and he's staying on next year to do another course at college, or something, so I might be able to stay with him while I do some job-hunting. If that doesn't work out... well, I'll think of something! I may even move back to live with you and Mum! But at 25, I don't think that's such a good idea.
 Anyway, this is just to let you know my plans, as far as they go at the moment! See you in a couple of months - I'll bring you a Chelsea football shirt!
