subject. To achieve these skills I have to go to Greenmount College in North Ireland. As I am a newcomer in the country, I do not much about residential colleges or hostels. I have tried to shortlist some places to stay but I was unable to as nobody is meeting the requirements which I filtered there. As I came to know that my college cost some additional charges to arrange the accommodation. So It would be greatly appreciated if the arrangements would made. A private room with en suite washroom facilities would be great if possible. My course is starting on 5th April and I have already booked a ticket and I will be there on 3rd April in the morning. I will be thankful to you if my situation is taken into account and

complete response

suitable writing tone
The tone of the letter is polite and appropriate for this type of formal correspondence.
