You would like to rent a car for a holiday. Write to the car rental agency. In your letter
• Give details of when you would like the car

Write at least 150 words.

Begin your letter as follows,
Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Sir or Madam, (OPENING)

My name is Muhammad Moussa, and I am one of your regular customers. I am writing this letter to
request a car for hiring during my upcoming vacation in Sharm Sheikh. (INTRODUCTION)
I would like to arrange a rental car for my upcoming visit to Sharm Sheikh City. I will be arriving on the
13th of January and will need the vehicle for a period of 9 days. As we are flying in, we would like to either
pick the car up at the airport or meet one of your representatives there. My flight number is NZ154, arriving
at 8.45 am. (BODY)
Because I will be travelling with my wife and two children, as well as luggage and camping equipment
for the period, we are looking for a medium sized vehicle that will comfortably travel off road. Although we
are a small family, we still need a six-seat vehicle like Toyota Fortuner; this will definitely help us go on a
Safari in Sharm Sheikh. (BODY)
I would be grateful, if you could confirm availability of a suitable vehicle and let us know the costs as
soon as possible so we can get this arranged. In addition, I need to know the way of payment either in
cash or by credit card. For your information, for insurance purposes, I have a clean driving license and I
am 48 years old. (BODY)
I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your anticipated support. (CONC)

Faithfully yours, (SIGNATURE)

 Sample informal Letter
Your friend is thinking about learning to drive and would like some advice. Write a letter
to your friend.
- Say why a driving license is advantageous
- Recommend a driving school
- Give extra guidance/ tips

Dear Bob,
How’s life, buddy? I haven’t seen you since we met last time at my brother’s wedding. I’m glad
to hear that you have decided to learn driving. The idea of learning to drive will change your life.

But firstly, you need to have driving license which can be a way round to remove all the
restrictions to drive anywhere with freedom. You’ll be independent in handling routine tasks for
instance office, shopping and any family errands. It’s also a social and legal responsibility of
being an ideal citizen.

Secondly, you need to search for a good driving school with supportive and experience
instructors. I’d like to recommend the Hall Driving School in the down town. I, myself, have
learnt from this renowned driving school. All the instructors are well trained and experienced
professionals. The medium of instructions include both theoretical as well as practical aspects.
Moreover, you’ll learn the traffic rules as well which are the foremost important in today’s life.

Lastly, to become proficient in all aspects, you have to appear for an exam to test your
knowledge of driving before obtaining license. I think, a two –week course will be enough for
you to be perfect and clear the driving trust, although you may need a follow up later. If I were
you, I’d start right away. (advice in a complex structure)

I hope my advice will serve the purpose and call me if you have any questions. Please say hello
to your beloved family.

Love,
Mike

sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and humbly ask for your forgiveness.

With the concern about home safety, my wife and I decided to install a few
smoke detectors in our flat, especially after we saw a devastating fire in our
neighbourhood lately. We bought the devices from an online store and started
to install and test the gadgets last Sunday. To ensure that the sound of the fire
alarm is loud enough and everyone in the house would notice it, we tested the
devices for about 30 minutes. Although the testing took place at midday last
Sunday, my wife and I are terribly sorry that your child’s nap was interrupted.

I really regret the event and request your forgiveness. Please accept this box of
chocolate as a token of my deepest regret for the inconvenience. We will be
more careful next time.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Lesner
