Let's Australianize this letter.

Dear CityRail

 Would it be possible to get a train driver's job? It's just that I
 really love trains and have wanted to be a train driver ever since I
 was little. I have the facts on what you need to do. I have a train cab
 simulator at home on the computer. My uncle's friend is a train driver
 in Sydney. Also my dad's cousin's wife is a freight
 coordinator in Sydney too. I have learnt how to drive a loco and I also
 know what to do if you see a red signal - you stop. Whenever I hear or see
a train I
 always go to greet it. I have a favourite train, V69, that I would
 like to drive all the time. I'm going to do the Duke of Edinburgh to
 prove that I'm responsible. I have an electric train set that I play
 with a lot. I also have no problem wearing a tie and an uncomfortable
uniform
in hot and humid conditions in a small cabin.

 Yours sincerely Kieran Chisnall

Dear Connex Melbourne

 really love trains and have wanted to be a train driver ever since I
 was little. I have the facts on what you need to do. I have a train cab
 simulator at home on the computer. My uncle's friend is a train driver
 in Ballarat. Also my dad's cousin's wife is a freight
 coordinator in Melbourne. I have learnt how to drive a loco and I also
 know what to do if you see a red signal - you stop. Whenever I hear or see
a train I
 always go to greet it. I have a favourite train, 4D, that I would
 like to drive all the time. I'm going to do the Duke of Edinburgh to
 prove that I'm responsible. I have an electric train set that I play
 with a lot. I also have no problem understanding all of the abbreivations
in the timetables.
I also know how to use Metcard so if there are no train driver jobs, I can
sell tickets for you.
