The following letter from Waseem Akram requests information about planning a charity cricket
tournament. His first draft must be revised. Rewrite this letter following the direct plan for request

In regard to the budget, I have no idea how to estimate costs. For example, what about administrative
costs. How about marketing? And there are salaries, cell-phone rentals, copiers, and a lot of other things.
I also need help in choosing a cricket stadium. Should it be a public stadium? Or a private stadium?
Resort? One big area that I worry about is sponsors. Should I go after one big sponsor? But let’s say I get
Pepsi to be a sponsor. Then do I have to ban Coke totally from the scene?
Another big headache is scoring. I will bet you can make some suggestions for tabulating the cricket
results. And posting them. By the way, did you see that Shahid Afridi is back in the winner’s circle?
I have noticed that other cricket tournaments have extra events, such as a pairing party to introduce teams.
Many also have an awards dinner to award prizes. Should I be planning extra events?
