Model Answer 1:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to enquire about a place which we possibly could use as our club office. We are considering this place of yours as a perfect choice for our country club because it is not only located on the outskirt of our town but also has a great landscape with lots of grass on it. Besides, it also has a large enough ground space to have a tennis court as well as a swimming pool where our valuable club members will be able to enjoy some sports and physical activities with their families and friends.

Now, it would be just great if we could simply offer you a price to buy it for our club, but we do not really have such a large amount of cash at the moment. Besides, we also do not think that you are actually willing to sell this place at such a prime location.

So, how about we rent it from you instead? And should you choose to rent it to us, we would be more than happy to talk about the terms and conditions, along with the rental cost.

Yours faithfully,

Carl Thomas


Model Answer 2:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inquire about the availability of a place that my friends and I have identified as a potential office space for the club we plan to start.

Firstly, let me provide some background information. We are a group of passionate individuals who are keen to establish a club aimed at promoting community engagement and fostering personal development. Our club will focus on organising various activities, workshops, and events that encourage social interaction, skill-building, and cultural exchange.

Upon extensive research, we came across your property located in Hampshire area. The space appears to be ideal for our club office due to its convenient location and suitable size.

In light of this, we would like to inquire about the possibility of renting the aforementioned space. We are interested in understanding the terms and conditions, such as the duration of the lease, monthly rent, and any additional requirements or restrictions that may apply.

We genuinely appreciate your consideration of our request and would be grateful for any information you can provide regarding the availability and rental terms of the property.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Potter
