Sample letter:
Dear Sir/ Madam,
My name is Emily and I am a secretary of the Middlesex Science Club. Reading
your advert in the newspaper caused a heated discussion amongst club’s members
hence we wish to visit and learn more about exhibits. Nevertheless, prior to our
tour I was hoping you could answer few questions please.
Firstly, we are a group of fifty passionate scientists, and so we are uncertain
whether the museum is capable to accommodate such a vast number of visitors.
Do you think you could confirm if it essential to book a timeslot and also how far
in advance shall we do that?
In addition, we are planning to spend a relaxing afternoon while enjoying our
lunch, therefore I would be grateful if you could advise whether there is a snack
bar or a picnic space available in a close proximity of the museum.

Last but not least, we wish to take some photos and maybe record a video to post it
on our Facebook page. Could you please let me know whether there are any
restrictions in terms of the use of electronic devices such as mobiles with flash?
Thank you in advance for all your help. I look forward to receiving your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Emily Kruszewska
Formal letter
Dear Mrs Hopkins,
I am writing in regards to your advertisement which I found in the London Globe and I
would like to apply to join your party on your trip around the globe.
The opportunity sounds very attractive to me and I would love to join your group so as
to broaden my knowledge of different cultures, cuisines and peoples.
So far, I have travelled in Europe, especially in Spain and the UK, where I met many
interesting people with whom I developed friendships that I value enormously in my life.
As to what I can bring to the table, I believe that my social and cooking skills as well as
my language abilities – I speak English, Spanish and German fluently – could
tremendously benefit the group.
Thank you in advance for considering my application. I am available for an interview
Monday to Friday from 8 to 11 o’clock in the morning and I look forward to hearing from
you soon.

Yours sincerely,
Teacher Phill
