Dear sir,
I saw your Institute’s advertisement in today’s edition of the Viet Nam News.
I am 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 send details of the courses and fees for beginner? I can supply my record of English study if necessary.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully,
