Dear Sam, I am writing
this
letter to let you know that I am very fascinated with working in our company's head
office
for six months because I want to enhance my working skills by learning the way how the employees operate there.
Besides
, I
also
want to explore our head
office
area as I have had rumours of it being very technical. And
while
I am gone, don't worry about the
office
work as I have planned to carry my
office
laptop with me. I can
also
attend company meetings via my smartphone without any hustle. Since it will be my first time visiting our head
office
I need your help to book a flight reservation. And
also
, if you can provide me with a ride from the airport to the destination?
Lastly
, I need some contacts of the people working there who can assist me with the accommodation. Thank you Yours faithfully, Hassan
