Subject Summer Workshop 20XX

Dear Vijay Sir,
I am writing to get some information regarding the Summer Workshop for my
son, who is studying in class VIII. Do you provide any course for improving
the writing skills of students? Do you arrange any personality development
programmes?

As vacations are approaching, I am planning to register my son for the Summer
Workshop. So if you could get back to me as soon as possible, it would be great.

Thanking you,

Nitesh Kumar

friends sharing your experience at that place.

3. You have been ill for quite some time. Write an e-mail to your classmate asking for an
update of the work done in class and about any homework that has been given.
