Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a 27 year old British Computer engineer.
I am looking to relocate myself either on contract or Full time for the right company. My salary is open as is my location.
I do understand that the salary could not be quite as high compared to say England and that is ok as I am willing to work for a lot less.
I would love to work in the Capital of Malaysia, or Thailand,Singapore. I have been to Thailand a few times and Singapore once. I find the whole place Fantastic and would love to Live & Work out there. Although I have plenty of work in the UK I Would give it up in a heart beat for any chance I could get out there. I do own my own Limited company but that can stay in the UK and I am not bothered about moving it although I surpose I can leave that open as another option in the event someone wanted to take on a contractor.
I do speak a little Thai, and it is only a little I might add and would love to learn given the chance.
I do hope you can help me in finding a job even if i am not right for your ecompany as I am having a real tough time getting any infomation at all eg. agencies,company names,email addresses.
Please email me on :> JD52@dial.pipex.com or Ring me on +44 973 134480 (mobile) Once again a very big thankyou for all your help and look forward to hearing from you Soon.
Simon...
