Example

         Dear Sir or Madam,

   I am writing in response to your advertisement for "The New Year In Viet Nam" in the December edition of the Young Student newspaper. 

   I have just finished my studies at school and have a place at University. Before I start my degree in Business and then pursue my career, I would like to take a gap year in order to increase my experience of the world.

   I would love to come to visit Viet Nam in this holiday to enjoy meeting friendly Vietnamese people and understand more about Vietnamese New Year customs. 

  I would be grateful if you could send me information about your organization and details how I can join 

       Your faithfully,

         Michel
