Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you in order to inquire about your
school
in London. I have heard that your
school
is really famous for its teaching system and strict discipline.
That is
why I am interested in studying at your
school
. My first request is that I would like you to give more information about the
school
facilities, courses and the process of lessons.
Moreover
, I would like to know about the library of your
school
.
In addition
to
this
, it would be better if I could stay in the
school
dormitory because I would have an opportunity to communicate with native speakers and my group mates. By the way, I need to say that as I am a Muslim, I would be grateful if you could provide me with meals regarding my religion and a spare room to pray. It would be of great help if you could fax me the details of the above-mentioned enquiries. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Yours faithfully, Komil Tursunov
