Dear xxx,
Firstly, please allow me to introduce myself. I am a 37-year-old Chinese expat who returned from the UK three years ago. I am currently living in Dalian. I am fluent in Chinese (Mandarin) and English, for which I studied a number of years at senior high school and at university, where I obtained a degree in the subject. I have wide-ranging experience in employment within China and the UK, much of this using English for oral and written communication as well as "online." I am a creative person.
