Dear friend
     As the anniversary of your membership approaches, I'd like to express a heartfelt "Thank you" from
everyone here at the National Geographic Society for your valuable support. We appreciate having you
as a member, which is why we're asking you for help.
     One of the Society's long-standing goals is to keep membership costs as low as possible. To do this,
we ask members to post their fees early. This keeps renewal (續(xù)訂) printing and postage costs down
(you save the expense of sending renewal reminders to you repeatedly and help us save paper) and allows
us to pass the savings on to you.
     Member's cooperation is why we can afford to send you 12 colorful issues of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
magazine at such a low price. As you know, this rate is extraordinarily low for an award-winning publication
filled from cover to cover with full-color photographs, pictures and wall maps created by our world-famous
photographers.
     Plus, your fee helps enrich the world. Part of the payment I hope that you will send today helps support
the Society's research, exploration, and educational projects around the globe. In the past ten years alone,
your Society has helped sponsor more than 2, 700 scientific and environmental researches.
     And, of course, posting your fee now guarantees that you won't miss a single issue of NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC magazine. I hope that you'll commit yourself again to the pleasure that membership brings.
Thank you in advance for your early renewal. I' m looking forward to hearing from you. John Griffin President,
Publishing Department

If you need extra employment support because of a disability, your local job center put you in touch with one of their Disability Employment Advisers(DEA). Disability Employment Advisers can give you help and support regardless of your situation. They can help you find work or gain new skills even if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have little or no working experience.

   Referral service

   Your DEA can offer you an employment assessment to identify what type of work or training suits you best and also offer you a work program designed to help disabled people, like the Job Introduction Scheme, WORKSTEP or Access to Work. The DEA can let you know about jobs that match your experience and skills and offer you more work information.

   Employment assessments

   An important employment assessment can help you identify your abilities. Your employment assessment will usually take place at your local Job centre. You will have an interview with your DEA, which is an opportunity for you to talk about your skills and abilities and any previous working experience you may have. As part of the assessment, you may be asked to carry out some practical tasks and written work. These tasks will be similar to common tasks involved in various types of work. The assessment may take half a day or longer, depending on your individual needs. The DEA will discuss the length of your assessment with you beforehand.

   After the assessment

   You and your DEA will talk about your assessment and agree on an action plan to help you achieve your job goals. Your action plan may include training or taking part in the “Work Preparation” program.
