Write at least 150 words.
You do NOT need to write any addresses.
Begin your letter as follows:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Model Answer:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am an extra-curricular activities coordinator of Logan County high school in the city of Logan, and I am writing this letter to ask for some information regarding a historical exhibition that is supposed to take place in the town.
Getting the information about this forthcoming exhibition, and trying to educate the students about some important past historical events is important for me because I have been asked by my high school to organize a group visit to that historical exhibition, as a part of a student social survey project.
Information, which I would specifically like to ask for, is that – what kinds of contents or items of historical importance would be displayed there, and how they could possibly relate to our cultural and national heritage. By the way, I am hoping to bring a large group of students to the exhibition. So, is there a possibility that we can get some discounts on the entry fees? Finally, information regarding the opening date and closing date, as well as the opening hours and closing hours during that time would also be highly appreciated.
Thanks for the information in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Larry Gomez
