You had some photos of your family taken by a professional photographer. Write a letter to the photographer. In your letter say that you liked his/her photos of your family ask him/her to be your photographer at a special family event give him/her the details of the event.
Dear Henry,
It has been ages since we met
last
time and I hope you are doing well. I am writing to ask whether you are available this
weekend because my family would like to invite you to take some photos for us again.
First of all, I would like to express our gratitude for the photos that you took on my grandfather’s 80th birthday. They were fantastic and we are still impressed whenever we see those photos.
Actually, my little sister Emma is planning to get married and the young couple is seeking a professional photographer that can help record the memorable moments of their wedding ceremony. So when she asked me to make a recommendation, you were definitely the first person that came to my mind.
Let me give you some details about the wedding ceremony. It will be held on Saturday, 14th February in the Parkville Hotel. The ceremony will start at 9 am in the morning and will last
for approximately 5 hours. The guests will arrive progressively from 8 am, so it would be helpful if you could arrive on the spot a little bit earlier.
We will be very grateful if you could accept this
offer, and if necessary I would like to discuss more details with you in person when you are convenient.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes,

Task Achievement
To improve the task response, make sure you directly address all points mentioned in the prompt. Specifically, explicitly state your satisfaction with the previous services before making a new request. While you've implicitly shown appreciation, directly acknowledging the quality of the photos can strengthen your response.
Coherence and Cohesion
For even stronger coherence and cohesion, consider adding a brief summary or conclusion to reinforce your request and appreciation. This will effectively wrap up the letter and reiterate your main points.
Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
