Hi Maria,
I recently heard of you. How are you going? Is it true you are on the point of starting a new job in the kitchen of the local restaurant here? These are really good news.
There is nothing special you have to be worried about, as you will be working in the lowest position, so you don’t need a good knowledge about cookery. Basically, you will have to cut and peel vegetables, as well as, clean tons of dishes. I am not an expert in the world of work. I have been working in a bar as a kitchen help for four months so far, but after your first week you will find it all very automatic. I rely on your manual skills for this job, as you are a very energetic person, and that’s the main requirement you will have to meet for your boss.
As you probably know, you should expect a lot of working hours and workload, but not a great salary. Although that‘s more than enough for you. You don’t need to move on to another city, so I suppose you will still be living with your parents.
Apart from what I tell you before, a great deal of patience is very important. You won’t be the first person to deal with a boss who lacks of empathy. This job is often more to do with psychology than physical demands.
I wish all my information in firsthand help you at least to feel more relaxed.
See you soon! I hope you can find some time to spend together and relax from working
The following is the statement of an exercise created by the Cambridge University (it is supposed to be right), so please do not correct it.
You have been in your first job for a few months. A friend is about to start work
and is feeling nervous about it. She wants your advice about how to prepare for
the world of work, what to expect and how to behave. Write an email telling her
about your experiences and giving her tips on how to cope.
Write your email.
Letter to a friend who just started her first job
Hi Maria,
I recently heard of you started a new job.
"I recently heard of you" sounds like you just learned about her existence. It doesn't really fit here in this context. I suggest mentioning hearing about her new job.
How are you gdoing?
"How are you going" refers to what method of transportation she will take. I assume you meant to ask how she was doing instead.
Is it true you are on the point of starting a new job in the kitchen ofat the local restaurant here?
"in the kitchen of the local restaurant" though not incorrect, sounds stiff and unnatural here.
These areis is really good news.
"news" is a singular and an uncountable noun in English. It is always singular.
There is nothing special you have to be worried about, as you will be working in the lowest position, so you don’t need a good knowledge about cookerying.
Basically, you will have to cut and peel vegetables, as well as, clean wash tons of dishes.
In English, one washes the dishes.
I am not an expert in the world of work.
I have been working in a bar as a kitchen helpaid for four months so far, but after your first week you will find it all very automatic.
IYou should rely on your manual skills for this job, as you are a very energetic person, and that’s the main requirement you will have to meet for your boss.
I'm not sure what you mean by "manual skills" here.
As you probably know, you should expect a lot of working hours and a heavy workload, but not a great salary.
The adjective heavy is generally used to describe a big workload.
Although that‘s more than enough for you.
This is an incomplete sentence.
You don’t need to move on to another city, so I suppose you will still be living with your parents.
"on" is superfluous here.
Apart from what I tell you beforehave already told you, a great deal of patience iswill be very important.
You won’t be the first person to deal with a boss who lacks of empathy.
This job ismore often more to dodeals with psychology than physical demands.
I wishhope all my information in firsthandwill help you at least to feel more relaxed.
See you soon!
I hope you can find some time for us to spend together and relax from working.

Good job. I took some liberties to make things sound a bit more natural. Most of the mistakes were unnatural sounding sentences in my opinion.
