Dear Sir,
I saw your Institute`s advertisment on today`s TV program. I am very interested in learning English and I would like some more information about your Institute.
I can speak a little English, but I read it very slowly and my writing is bad. So I want to improve my reading and writing.
Could you please provide more information about the length of the courses and fees for beginners?. I can supply my record of English study if necessary.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
