During a recent plane journey, you sat next to a businessman
who owns a chain of restaurants. You talked to him and he
suggested that you should contact him about a possible job in
one of his restaurants.
Write a letter to this businessman. In your letter
 remind him when and where you met
 tell him what kind of job you are interested in
 say why you think you would be suitable for the job
Begin as follows: Dear ... ,

Dear Mr Smith,
My name is Edmond Stafford and we met on a flight from Osaka to
Hong Kong with Peach Airlines on the 1st of July arriving in Hong
Kong at 3pm. We sat next to each other, talked during the flight
and exchanged our business cards. I hope you will remember who I
am as you suggested I contact you regarding a job in one of your
restaurants. Today I am writing to express my interest in a position
in the chain of your restaurants.
You mentioned your chain of restaurants and that you would like to
expand it and use more information technology to manage them
easily, especially the inventory and point of sales. As I told you
during the flight, I am an IT expert, so I am particularly interested
in an IT system development project to help you in these two areas.
I am a suitable person for you because I have 10 years of system
development experience, specialising in point of sales systems for
supermarkets and convenient stores. I believe my skills and
experience can help you to set up and customise a robust point of
sales system for your chain of restaurants. We can discuss this
further face-to-face, and I am available anytime next week, you can
call me through my contact information to set a date. I look forward
to hearing from you.
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,
Edmond Stafford

Model Answer 1:
Dear Emma,

I cannot believe I am an aunt now! You have become the mother of

a sweet baby girl to make me the happiest person in the world.
Many congratulations and my love and blessing for both of you.

I regret that I am far away from you. As a matter of fact, I came to

Tokyo to attend an official meeting last Monday. My tasks here
will occupy me for another week or so I will return to Manhattan on
27th October. I want to see you and your baby as soon as I land. I
will probably visit you first and then get back to my apartment.

Please do not hesitate to text or call me if you want me to bring

anything for you. I will do some shopping for the baby and any
suggestion from you is much welcomed.

I cannot wait to see you both. I have not heard such thrilling news
in decades. My best wished to you all once again.

Warm wishes,

Eugene

Dear Jessica,

Hope this letter finds you in great health and spirit after going
through a critical but one of the most wonderful moments of your
life. Well, you wanted your firstborn to be a girl, and you have
indeed been blessed with a baby girl! So, many congratulations to
you, and your first baby who has just arrived in this world!

By the way, I am really sorry that I couldn’t be by your side to

witness this wonderful but critical moment of your life since I
needed to get out of town for a week to address an urgent matter in
my office. Besides, I was told that you were not due until after
another two weeks or so. But, whatever is the case, please know
that you have always been in my prayer and you will always be.

Anyway, I am trying to finish my work as soon as I can and return

to the city in the next couple of days, and I just can’t wait to put my
eyes on your little angel. So, please let me know when it is a good
time to visit you.

Warm wishes,

Linda Grace

Sample Answer
Dear Megha,
I got the wonderful news of your baby girl’s birth. So, our lovely
princess is finally with us. I saw her pictures on Instagram. She is
really adorable.
I extend my heartiest congratulations to you, your husband and the
entire family. I’m sure that her arrival will bring a lot of happiness
and fortune in the family. I just can’t wait to see her. I have already
bought a gift for her. I checked out several items and then finally
selected a carrycot as I found it quite useful for the little one. You
can carry the baby in it while going out or even at home to soothe
her with the toys hanging in the cot.
Finally, I’m planning to visit you next Friday, the 5th of October, at
around 4 pm. So, please let me know if it is convenient to you. In
case, you have any other plan for Friday, I can come later as well.
Yours lovingly,
Sakshi
 QUESTION 2

Congratulation Letter Sample # 3:

Your friend has had his/her first book published a few days ago.
He/she has recently sent you a copy of that book.
Write a letter to this friend. In your letter,
 congratulate him/her for having his/her first book published

 thank your friend for sending you a copy of the book

 say what do you think about the book

You should write at least 150 words.

You do NOT need to write any addresses.

Begin your letter as follows:

Dear ..................,

Model Answer:
Dear Charles,

You must be pretty excited to have your first book published within
such a short time after finishing writing it. It is indeed such a great
achievement of yours, and I surely would like to congratulate you
on the occasion of such an amazing success. I also would like to
thank you for sending me a copy of this book right away with your
special signature on it.

Anyway, I've already read your book, and I must tell you that I'm
truly impressed with your novel writing skills and abilities. I knew
that you were passionate about writing stories, but I just didn’t
think that you'd be able to write a novel with such ease and effect.
The narrator (the main character) of your novel was very engaging
while the other characters around it were as natural and lively as
they could get. The caption of the book under the picture of a
beautiful and playful rabbit is very illustrative, and the plot has just
about enough twists and turns to engage the readers from start to
end. All in all, it is a great book.

I'm sure this is the first book of a series of marvellous writings that
we will see in the future.
Warm wishes,

Adam
