Dear Mr Abraham,
Model Answer:
Dear Mr. Abraham,
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Emily Robinson, and I am the Student Activities Coordinator at Brighton University. I am reaching out to discuss the organisation of a trip to Tenby for our students.
We are planning to visit Tenby from the 10th to the 15th of September, which means a stay of five nights. The primary purpose of our trip is to offer our students a blend of educational and recreational experiences, as we have heard of the rich historical and cultural significance of Tenby along with its captivating natural beauty.
There will be a group of 30 students making the journey. Given the number, I believe we will require accommodation that can comfortably house everyone. Ideally, we’d like the students to be in shared rooms of two or three, with separate quarters for male and female students. Furthermore, if there’s a common area or meeting room where the students can gather for group activities or discussions, that would be perfect.
I would greatly appreciate if you could provide a detailed proposal including the cost breakdown, types of accommodation available, and any other facilities or services that you think might enhance our stay.
Thank you for your assistance and consideration. I am looking forward to your prompt response so that we can finalize our plans in a timely manner.
Warm regards,
Emily Robinson
Student Activities Coordinator,
Brighton University.
