Finding it hard to remember important facts and figures? Improve your

memory in 10 weeks with our Memory Course. Places are limited and

the course is available for only a short time.

Apply in writing to:

You see the above advertisement for a course designed to help improve

your memory. Write a letter to the organiser of the course. In the letter

give some background information about yourself

explain your own problems and why you would like to do the

course

enquire about the course fees, dates and methods used on the

course

You should write at least 150 words. You do not need to write any addresses.

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to fetch some information regarding an advertisement recently

posted on your website regarding a memory course. I superficially know of the schedule

and neural exercise you are offering, but I would like to have an insight of the course.

I am working as a project engineer in a reputable firm for five years. The job is rewarding

and I have also been recently promoted to a senior position after years of hard work.

However, I am considerate about my health now and feel that I am having trouble with

memorizing things in general. 

At first, I tried out different yoga techniques to gain concentration. It helped in relieving

my brain nerves to an extent and found myself energetic. But the persisting issue of

forgetting daily chores has now become a part of my life. 

With great success comes great responsibility, and I don't want to sacrifice my job at the

cost of memory. I would like to know about course fee and any discounts that you offer

for early registration. Also, if you could please provide what methods you will be using

apart from mind teasers during the class. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Faty
