Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Carl Puran, and I have recently moved to the neighbourhood of Old Spandau. I am writing
this
letter to get some information about your sports
centre.
I have been either a member of a sports
club
or gym wherever I have lived because you can say, I am very health conscious. So, after moving into this
new neighbourhood, naturally, I felt the need to join a sports
club
or gym; and then
found out about your sports
club
which is located very near where I live. Apart from
this
convenient distance, I would like to join your club
also
because the majority of the members of this
club
are of my age, or at least, that is
what I have heard. So it would be easier for me to relate to them or befriend a few of them. But, most importantly, your sports
club
remains open during the weekends also
when I usually have more time to enjoy the club
activities.
But, before I join your club
, I have a couple of questions. Does the club
have any children’s playground since I would bring my child with me also
, sometimes? And, how much is the cost of membership?
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Carl PuranSubmitted by lakshmisnl5 on
