I am writing this letter to ask about arranging a party for the
graduation on June 15.
We are students at Hanoi University. There are 30 students in our
class and two teachers and we need a private room. On that day,
we will have a graduation ceremony at the university in the
morning. After that, we will have a party at your restaurant.
Firstly, we would like to have buffer lunch for the group and then
we will take party in some activities such as singing songs, taking
photos. Therefore, we would like to suggest that you prepare a
small stage and some microphones.
Thank you for arranging the party for us. I hope that we will have
a great time with you.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Yours faithfully,
SAMPLE TOPIC 2
Question: The English department has decided to hold a speaking contest
in late December but your classmates find that it is too near the final
examination. Write to the Dean of the department to suggest a change of
the time.
SAMPLE
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are writing this letter to ask for/ request for one decision
of our Department.
We are students of class 33. We are glad that the department
is to hold an English speaking contest. We are sure it is
helpful to our English speaking and all of us want to take part
in it.
We have noticed that the time of contest is on the 27th of
December. The trouble is the time of the contest. As you
know, according to the school schedule of this term, the final
examination begins on January, 10th. We all wish to do well in
both but we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to prepare
for the examination and the contest at the same time.
We would like to suggest that/our suggestion is that it be
postponed to the next term, may be in the first few weeks.
The reason why I am asking for this is that we have more free
time in that period of time.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to ask for the information of your sports club.
I am a first year student at Western College. I
have just discovered that my college does not provide any sports
facilities. However, I found your club to be near and would like to
request more information about it.
Firstly, I wonder if you could possibly give me a small overview of
the available facilities. It would be interesting to know whether
the club offers some sports classes and personal
training sessions.
Secondly, I would be interested to know how big the gym
area is and what types of equipment are available.
Lastly, I wonder what kind of membership the club offers. Do you
have monthly or weekly based tickets available or do I need to
sign up for a longer period?
I would appreciate it if you could send the details to my email.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Yours faithfully,
Jack Smith
