saw each other. However
, I hope we can meet soon, as I’m planning to move to your city. Actually, to make it come true, I have a small favour to ask.
As you know, I’ve been working as an editor for Russian magazines for more than 10 years. Yet, my dream is to switch from the Russian language to English. So, I’ve decided that it would be a great idea to complete a course in English for foreign media workers.
As far as I know, the best courses are run in London. That’s why, as you live there, I thought you could help me find an appropriate University for my goal.
If it’s possible for you, could you contact several organisations from the attached list and ask about their prices? It would be such
a great help for me,
since it’s always faster to call than to wait for days for an email answer!
I hope, with your assistance, I will soon apply to the course and come to London. Remove the comma

, we will have numerous opportunities to hang out together.
I can’t wait for your reply.
Best wishes,
