Dear Mr. Wang,
I am much grateful to be employed by you two month ago as an editor for your magazine Design &Fashions. I appreciate the opportunity of having worked here with you and other colleagues. The experiences will be unforgettable throughout my life.
However, as a young man whose primary interest is in computer science rather than fashion designing. I find my present job doesn’t fall in with my previous training and strength. I therefore decide to quit this job for something else that may conform to my former preparation.
Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconveniences caused by my leaving.

Yours truly,

Li Ming

Dear Tom,
I’m writing to invite you to come and stay for a weekend with my family at my riverside cottage.
You know that we have not seen each other for a long time since we graduated from the college. Sometimes when I think of my student life, I will think of those day we spent together.
My cottage is near a river. The country air will do you good, and the scenery is very beautiful.
You take train after work on Friday. Please let me know your arrival time. I will pick you up at the station. I’m waiting for your reply.
Yours,
John

Directions: Write a letter to the Youth Travel Agency complaining about an unhappy travel experience in about 100 words to describe the matter and ask for compensation.

Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about a most unpleasant experience. Last Saturday morning, we took a coach from your company to Lijiang. The coach was scheduled to arrive in Lijiang at 7 o’clock in the evening, but it stopped midway because of mechanical problems. At that time we were nowhere. Up until 8 o’clock, another coach came and carried us to a shabby motel. We had to pay for our accommodation. The room was too small and the dinner was awful. What’s more annoying, when we just managed to sleep midnight, the driver knocked the door—the vehicle was fixed!
I suggest that you look into this matter immediately and we demand compensations for your bad service.
We are looking forward to your reply.

Yours,
Li Ming

The New Year is coming again. You guys have any idea about what we should do to celebrate the New Year in our university? Since we are from all over the country and most of us cannot go home during the New Year’s Day holiday, shall we have a get-together as we did last year? Or maybe we can do something different this year. How about a costume ball in the Yifu Hall? That may be more interesting.
Please let me know your ideas and suggestions before next Wednesday. Let’s go into action right now to have a great celebration of the New Year!
