Dear Sir or Madam, I writing
this
letter to request you to cancel the part-time
course
that I booked a month ago. I want to cancel
this
course
because I have found another
program
which I think is best suitable for my Career. I selected the Global
Business
Management
program
which contains the study of international law, and logistics in
business
and I found it very less compared to other courses. Because I found
Business
Management
course
which covers almost all topic of
business
internationally and domestically. I would like to cancel my current
program
of study. If I complete
this
course
, I will have a chance to learn deeply about
business
, accounts, law and other aspects of
business
and get more skills and knowledge in comparison to the GBM study. Kindly book the
Business
Management
program
instead
of GBM. Looking forward to hearing from you. Your Faithfully, Ankit

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.
