         <div>
            <p>I saw in the paper that you still need fishermen in British Columbia.</p>
            
            <p>I am a well experienced fresh water fisherman, operating a fishery outfit of my own including a gas boat, and all.</p>
            
            <p>I may do a greater service to the country by coming out there to fish.</p>
            
            <p>I have fished in the Lesser Slave Lake and other northern lakes.</p>
            
            <p>If you still need good strong experienced fishermen, just past military age, please let me know, as I can make other arrangements, regarding my outfit here. </p>
            
            <p>Please give all the particulars regarding fare and where to go to, by return mail.</p>
            
            <p>Thanking you</p>
