Dear sir,
I saw your Institute’s advertisement in today’s edition of the
Times
I am interested in learning English and I would like some
more information about your Institute.
I can speak a little English, but I read it very slowly and my
writing is bad. So I want to improve my reading and writing
skills. Could you please send details of the courses and fees
for beginner? I can supply my record of English study if
necessary.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Thai Thuy Linh
