Hello John, Having a few problems with sending PM's so i am sorry if you have multiple messages from myself. My name is Wade and i am writing to you regarding the opportunity for an apprenticeship in blacksmithing. I am 23 years old so I would be able to attend the NETS course you mentioned. I have 0 experiences with Blacksmithing and it would be a pleasure to be your apprentice to learn this great skill that you are willing to pass on! My nationality is Welsh but I have been living in France for the last two years. While living in France i have been running my own business on eBay selling pet products. My current location is in the south of France and I will be returning to the UK on the 6th of April. Possibly this may be too late for you as you mentioned March? Kind Regards, Wade British Best Pets eBay Shop Email: WWH@BritishBestPets.co.uk
