Dear Ali, I haven'
t
seen you , since you have moved to London to finish your education, so I miss you so much . Actually, I want to ask you a favour , if you don'
t
mind. You know that I am studying agriculture engineering and I noticed that one of the colleges in your place delivering a course which is really useful for my major and it would be good for my job progression ,
therefore
, I really want to attend
this
program, if they accept me.
Moreover
, in my research, I noticed that the college isn'
t
far from your university , so I thought maybe you could help me to find a place for
this
time , absolutely if it doesn'
t
bother you . In the end , I am looking forward to seeing you in London, and I will really appreciate your job. Best Regards, Sara

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
