SAMPLE
Dear Mr. Noah Watson,
LETTER
Thank you for agreeing to speak at our English club monthly meeting. I am writing to provide you
with the information that you asked.

In terms of the audience, most of them are second- and third-year students of English. They have good
English skills; therefore, I think it is easy for you to interact with them.

Concerning the topic of your talk, I believe that everyone will enjoy your experience when starting up
your company. It will be useful if you give them practical advice to set up their own business. Besides,
you can also share with them some interesting stories about your job.

Regarding the venue, the event will be held on the third floor, ABC Building on XYZ Street. It is quite
easy for you to get there from your hotel. You can book a ride using Grab or Go Viet app; I guess you
will need to pay around 50,000 VND.

That’s all I think you need to know about the event to make necessary preparations. If you need any
further assistance, do not hesitate to write.

I look forward to seeing you soon, and thanks again!


Best regards,
● As for the audience, there will be about 500 people in the opera
theater.
● Concerning the audience, ….
● Regarding the audience, ….

PRACTICE 1

FORMAL
Dear Mrs White,

First, let me apologise for/ please accept my apology for any disappointment your son experienced
on our ski trip. It is true that there were several concerns. Since we thought that there would be
sufficient slopes for both beginners and advanced skiers, we were extremely upset when this turned
out to not to be the case. It was also unfortunate that lack of snow meant that artificial snow had to be
used instead.

As for the question of lessons, if you look at the letter we sent you, you will see that only five one-
hour lessons were included in the price and that extra hours would have to be paid for separately.
This is the reason why there were fewer lessons than promised.

In relation to accommodation, I am not quite sure what you are referring to. I know that in one room
there were not enough beds but this was not the case in your son's room.

We would like to assure you that we take all complaints seriously. We have already decided that
next year we will change the company and the location for our trip and we hope that your son will
consider joining us again.

Yours sincerely,

LiLy
