Front of House

Morning. I've just returned from travelling and I'm looking for temporary and permanent work in London. This letter is deliberately informal, I could write a more correct covering letter if so desired.
Currently in the backwater of Norwich I'd like to get some interviews set up now so when I get down to you I have some options.

I'm looking for web design, perhaps front of house, either helping people with problems on their computers or teaching specific software to the public. I'm an avid mountain climber, so if you can fit that into the job description great.
