Subject: Working in England

Dear Leo

To clarify a few points for you.

1. You were born in England so even you paid Overseas students fee but there is no immigration restrictions on working because you are local people as the white/black British.

2. Apply a National Insurance Number that is required for contributing towards pensions. The number is also required when you go to register a GP (doctor).

3. For Overseas students, at present, are eligible to work 20 hours per week but that doesn't apply to you. You can work as many hours as you like. The reason why you have to pay overseas fee because you don't live in UK 3 years before the start of your University. So after you graduate from Greenwich in 3 years time, if you want to further your study, you should pay home fee. For your friends with HK passports, if they don't study in England now, they have to leave the country. But you don't have to.

4. Usually the employer will give you a P45 Form after you resign from your employment. I don't know the Chinese Restaurant will do it or not but you can ask them before you leave the job. The P45 form is important as every working people in England must have it. This P45 is a record (like you ID) of your employment record and show how much you earn, how much you contribute towards pension.

5. Being a student, you don't have to pay tax (unless you earn more than the taxed income).

6. What kind of work do you work for the University? It is a good opportunity no matter what it is. But study is more important of all, must remember.

7. Remembered that we needed no visa issued when we went to Durbai. If you go to visit EEC countries (e.g. France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Holland etc etc), you don't need to apply for visa because you are holding a UK passport with access to EEC countries.

8. Except commiting a crime, there is nothing against the law as you are a citizen in the UK. See the advantages of being born there.

You will begin to like England - it is so free there.

Wish you work happily and so does your study.

The flat in Sutton has been sold and completion of sales should be finished yesterday with the help of Gary.

I will pay HK$3,000 to your bank account with B. of East Asia.

Will ask David to book your flight back to UK leaving 17 September 2002 either with Singapore Airline or Luthansa.

Mum
with love
