Brighton school of English
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am a sixteen-year old student from Croatia and I am writing to you to enquire about an English course at your school this summer. I am interested in doing an advanced course in English because I am preparing for a Proficiency exam. I got excellent grades in my English exam last year and I think that I am somewhere between B2 and C1; that is why I would like to come to your school. Could you tell me how long the courses are and how much it will cost?
I would also like to know something about accommodation. Could you tell me what kind of accommodation you provide? What is the price? I would also like to know if you could arrange accommodation for me.
In the end, I would be thankful if you could send me details about the courses and the costs.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Marko Jasenović
