MODEL 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in response to your advertisement in the The Bingley Times on March
2nd. I am very interested in joining your Dance-Aerobics classes and would be
grateful if you could answer a few questions I have.
Your advertisement states that the number in the classes is kept to a minimum.
How many people are there in each class? As I work every day until 5 o'clock, I
would also like to know the times of the classes.
In addition, I would like to know if I need any special shoes or clothes for the
classes, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me details of where to
purchase any necessary equipment.
Finally, as it is my intention to attend these classes regularly, could you also send
me details of prices and membership fees?
Thank you for your kind attention. Please reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours faithfully,
Elaine Richards
