- First - British citizen letter

Hello dear friend,

There are many things that have been changing in my country lately, now everyone that I know is working for one of those "factories", most of them actually make clothes for people with one of those machines that they call "Jenny", they say that are complex to operate and dangerous. Because of my situation I may be forced to work in one of these places, it is the only way that I can think of to get money now, because there is nothing else that I can do right now.

Now the city has also become a place full of houses, and everything is put together with the factories, is all a huge mess, and no one has enough money.

In any case, I hope you are doing fine,

Regards.

- Second - Russian Citizen letter

Hello!

Is nice to hear from you again, as you may remember, I work for the government, and lately there has been a very big increase in the amount of grain that we are exporting to the rest of Europe, especially to Great Britain, this may be related to the escenario that you are describing. Business people here are making money very fast, they just buy and sell things and they don't work anymore, they only dedicate their time to buy and sell different products and that's what gives them the money enough to live.

People here that actually make products are pretty upset because of this, they say that those businessman are just lazy and they make money with other people's effort, and that seems unfair even for me.

However, I believe that my economical status will improve because of this, because the government is also making a lot of money from this, so it is very likely that I will start receiving a higher salary, if I do, I will bring you here so you can meet my country.

I hope you are doing fine, regards.
