Dear Mr. Hampton I hope you are well. I am writing to be considered for an overseas assignment with Talbot Thingamajig inc. Specifically, I am requesting to be assigned to help open a branch of the company in Russia. I chose to study Russia because I always thought Russia was a cool place and I always liked there language. Over the course of the next 7 ½ weeks, I expect to learn about Russia’s culture, food, business etiquette and some impotent phrases in Russia’s language. Having this knowledge will help me for what might happen when I go over to Russia. Lastly, I think I would be a great addition to this team because I am part Russian and I love electronics. When I was a kid I would always fix electronics for my sister. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon Sincerely Michael Eichenlaub 4072 Allison Park PA Pittsburg Pennsylvania 15101

Russians eat four meals a day, starting with zavtrak (morning coffee) lunch, a small dish meal lasting form 12:00 till 1:00. Dinner beginning at 6:00 featuring four courses. A few hours after dinner usually around 9:00 or 10:00 Russians have there fourth meal of the day. Two of Russia’s famous dishes are borcht (beet soup served with sour cream) and Bliny (Russian pancakes). A unique cooking utensil in Russia is a pech or over rather than a burner as a heat source. A tradition the Russians do at Easter time is to color there Easter eggs red to signify the resurrection of Jesus. This is done by hard boiling eggs with either red onion peels or beets.
