I saw the advertisement for a new English

Newspaper. I’m interested in taking this
course and would be grateful if you give me
some information about the course.
I started to learn English 4 years ago. My
speaking is pretty good. However , I can’t
write very well. English grammar is difficult
for me. So I want to improve my grammar
and writing skill as well.
Could you please provide me with more
information about the length of the course
and fees for beginners ? If it’s necessary I
can supply my record of English study.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully.
