Dear sir,
I saw the advertisement for a new English course at your institution in the Ha

you give me some information about the course.
I started to learn 4 years ago. My speaking is pretty good. However, I can’t write

Could you please provide me with more information about the length of the

I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
