LETTERA AD UN’AGENZIA DI VIAGGI ALL’ESTERO.

Dear Mr Brown,

I hope you and your family are very well. 

My name is Sofia Ceppellotti. I am a student from Italy and I am writing because I am interested to your study holiday in England. I am B1 level and I wanted to improve my pronunciation and use of verbs taking advantage of this opportunity. 

Could you please tell me the duration and the cost of the course?

I thank you in advance and I hope you will answer soon

Bye,

Sofia Ceppellotti
