I am writing to enquire about English Summer courses at your school. I would be grateful if you could send me further details regarding courses in August.

Language Course Inquiry
Dear Ms. Peabody,
I am writing in reference to the advertisement I saw about the language courses you offer abroad. I would like to attend a course for the first two weeks in July and need more detailed information.
I would particularly like to know how many students attend the school and how many students there are in a class. I would also like to know something more specific about the resources the school has. Is there a language laboratory and a library where I could study in the evenings? Do students have free access to the internet? Are students permitted to use all the learning facilities available even on weekends?
Moreover, are all the teachers on staff qualified native tongue speakers?
Furthermore, I would like to receive more details of the social and sports programs you offer. I am keen on football and tennis. Are these activities part of your sports program? If so, are they included in the price of the course? Could you tell me about the cost of accommodation and what it includes?
Finally, could you tell me what amenities there are near the school? For instance, is there an Internet café and a theatre within walking distance of the school?
I look forward to receiving your reply.
Yours sincerely,

Festival Package Inquiry
Dear Sir/Madam,
After having seen your advertisement of The Festival in a magazine, I would like further information about your package.
Firstly, I would be grateful for details about the transportation and the accommodation. I wonder if you could let me know about the times of the transports that are going to and from New York’s Heathrow airport. About the accommodation, I would be interested to know where it is, what the name of the hotel is, and if a room for three people is possible.
I also have some queries regarding costs. I would arrive at Heathrow on late Friday night and depart on Sunday at 9:15 pm. Could you possibly tell me if the total cost is cheaper for two days?
Thank you for taking this into consideration. I look forward to receiving your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Guided Hiking and Rafting Tour Inquiry
Dear Sir or Madam,
I saw your ad in the newspaper last week while I was at the dentist’s. I want to get more information about the guided hiking and rafting tour because I want to see Alaska.
First of all, I want to say that I love nature (I plant and eat my own vegetables) and I learned to swim when I was 3. I don’t mind sleeping outdoors as long as I can sleep on an inflatable mattress. I’m fit and healthy, I work out at the gym twice a week, and I weigh 62 kgs and I’m 1m68cm tall. But I do smoke, is that OK?
I’m writing because I really need to know how much the tour costs because I’m a student at university and I don’t work so my mother will pay for me. I’ve done this sort of thing before but I’m not really experienced at rafting. Is that OK? I also want to know how many people are in a group and their age and sex. I’ll be 22 next month.
Sorry for all the questions but I need to know these things before I can make up my mind.
Yours faithfully,

Job Information
Wildlife Tour Group Member Inquiry
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing with reference to the advertisement I saw in “Freedom” recently and would like to receive more detailed information.
I believe I meet all the requirements mentioned in your advertisement; however, I do not have any medical knowledge that goes beyond first aid. I can swim but I’m not very confident swimming in rivers. I am very keen on nature and often go on walking and rafting expeditions both in Italy and abroad.
If I am eligible to be a group member, I would appreciate receiving more information about the cost of the wildlife tour and the number of people in a group. Moreover, I would like to know exactly what is meant by “willing to rough it outdoors.” Apart from sleeping in tents and eating mostly canned foods, is something else intended? Lastly, I would like to know the exact dates of the tour.
I look forward to receiving your reply.
