Hello,
Thanks for your interest, deeply appreciate all your genuine effort in helping me to monitor and keep up to date with all my activities. I have had a previous PA who has been very commendable in her activities and who has been part of my life for the past six months, she had an accident and she told me that she cant continue. I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been.

This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings.There is also a very sensitive issue on trust and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.

Furthermore, I want you to know that If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side. As I have said, I'd want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with,i hope we can meet up with the workload eventually.

Kindly get back to me ASAP

Alfredo.
