Dear Sir, 

I am  hereby tendering my resignation from the part-time position of logistics manager, as per the terms and conditions of my employment, my notice period  will cease in two week: 15 June. I have finished my MBA and retail trade and wish to pursue a career in that field, our organization being a logistics specialists will not serve my career objective. However, working under your leadership was an outstanding experience. 

 

I have always harbored and cherished a dream of being engaged in fashion retail and for that I did struggle a lot, and during that time getting an assignment with you was a  boon for me since I learnt a lot about professional ethics and also managing myself in a work environment. I wonder how I will fill the void of your dynamic leadership, but nonetheless, I do not want to stifle my dream of being an accomplished retail specialist.   

 

I, thus, request you to kindly relieve me from my responsibilities on 15 June. 

Hoping for a compassionate response.  

Thanking you 

Yours Sincerely

You borrowed some books from your school or college library. Unfortunately you have to go away to visit a sick relative and cannot return the books in time.

You borrowed some books from your school or college library. Unfortunately you have to go away to visit a sick relative and cannot return the books in time.

Write a letter to the library. Explain what has happened and tell them what you want to do about it.

Dear Sir,

 

I apologise for the delay since I borrowed a few science books before exams to prepare for the same; however, I could not return them before the due date owing to the mishap happened at my house for which I had to leave for my hometown immediately after the examination, and did not get adequate time to visit the library. 

 

My grandfather suffered a severe chest pain; and unfortunately, he has been diagnosed with cancer owing to which he has to undergo an operation within this week. I have to stay with him during his entire convalescing period since he has nobody by his side to look after him. 

 

I have no idea when would I return; therefore, I am sending those books through courier service to avoid the accumulation of penalties. I would be grateful if you could apprise me of the amount I owe to the library for keeping books more than the permitted time so that I could pay the fine via online mode. 

 

Hoping for kind consideration.

 

Thanking you

 

Yours Sincerely,

You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase the number of flights. You live near the airport.

You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase the number of flights. You live near the airport.

Write a letter to your local newspaper. In your letter

• explain where you live

•  describe the problem

•  give reasons why you do not want this development.

Dear Sir,

I, Adrian Keith, a resident of Gustave Delory for over four years. This area is in the vicinity of Charles de Gaul airport. The inhabitants are concerned with the news of the planned expansion of the airport.

This extension would augment traffic volume, which will create a nuisance for the residents of the society. Moreover, this change would result in the shrinking of a long stretch of green cover, thereby giving rise to several environmental problems.

A large chunk of people belongs to the age group more than sixty who have migrated here from the nearby cities after their retirement in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle that is  free from all sorts of pollution. But, a bigger airport that will eat up most vacant areas will kill this objective since the noise and air pollution accompanied by this development will heighten the possibility of numerous health hazards.

I would request the authority to kindly consider the matter on an urgent basis and render the residents a relief.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

Adrian Keith

• explain your situation

Dear Sir,

Thank you for believing in me and rendering me a great opportunity to serve as a Manager in the head office of your esteemed company. I had prepared to embark on this journey from the next week until the mishap happened at my home last night.

My uncle suffered a severe chest pain yesterday at midnight; and unfortunately, he has been diagnosed with cancer owing to which he has to undergo an operation within this week. I have to stay with him during his entire convalescing period since he has nobody by his side to look after him. Moreover, I have been struggling to get accommodation in the proximity of the office, which I would manage to find during this time.

I think I would be able to commence the job after 15 days; however, I can start my work after a week through telecommuting, and I assure you that my performance will not disappoint your expectations.

Hoping for kind consideration. I look forward to receiving your response.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

You are planning a holiday in another country. Write a letter asking your friend to join you and explain

- Why are you taking a holiday?

- What is your holiday plan?

- Why would you like him/her to come?

Dear Réne,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and best of spirits. I was wondering if we could brew up some exciting plans for our upcoming holidays. As Christmas is approaching, this would probably be the best time to plan an excursion.

You’ll be thrilled to find out that I’ve got a fantastic deal which is in our budget. It’s a holiday package of four nights to Bali. I know you always wanted to explore this place. On the last day of this trip, the hotel will be organising a concert in which your favourite pop singer is performing.

It’s been so long since we last were together. Due to our hectic schedules, we don't get time to spend with each other. This vacation would give us a break from our monotonous life and to make more memories to cherish for our lifetime. I simply won’t take no for an answer.

Do let me know your availability so that I could reserve the package.

Eagerly waiting to see you.

Your friend

Write a letter to your friend to ask him/her to develop a website for your business. In your letter

 – Give a brief description of the business

– Mention what you’d like to be there on the website

Dear Ryan,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. You would be delighted to know that I have embarked on my professional life by starting a venture which deals in clothing for dogs, our beautiful little companions, and I want you to design an attractive website for my venture.  

I am thinking of putting my business online to gain more popularity and expand my start-up, for which I will need a professional looking portal, but without a cash payment gateway. Since you are a professional web designer, who else could design my website better.  

I would like to render some ideas to make it attractive; try to add pictures of disparate breeds of dogs along with the fashion accessories being carried by them. I am sure it would be the most tempting portal in this domain. Please let me know how long it will take to accomplish this task.

I am eagerly waiting for your response so that we can sit and discuss the design in detail.

Your friend,

– Give details of the child

Dear Sir,

 

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. Thank you for imparting profound knowledge of English during my childhood, owing to which I am capable of enlightening others. My friend is a French national, who has asked me to teach English to her daughter, Mathilde, who is six years old. I believe this is the perfect age to commence learning a new language. However,  I need your help with this.

 

I am planning to follow your footsteps by interactively teaching and by introducing numerous games so that it becomes a fun activity. Moreover, since technology makes everything interesting, I have decided to include audio and visual components to disseminate knowledge.

 

I still remember those pretty looking books which had images, helped me intensively to imbibe the most challenging aspect of the language, the grammar. Furthermore, the books consist of cue cards for building up the vocabulary which you rendered me. I would be grateful if you could lend me those books for three months.

 

Hoping for a positive response.

 

Thank you.

 

Yours sincerely,

Lisa

You relocated to a new country for work. Write to your previous co-worker.

You relocated to a new country for work. Write to your previous co-worker. In your letter

 

– Tell him/her where you live in the new country

– Describe how you feel

– Explain what you are doing at work

– Invite him/her for a visit.

 

Dear Anna,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. You’ll be glad to know that I moved to Lille, France last week. I must say this city looks exquisite. I live in the outskirts, and my office is 500 m away. What I love the most about this place is that everyone greets one another with a contagious smile, which makes my day. What’s more, the inhabitants are cautious about their actions, like not littering on the roads, dumping garbage in the bins so that they could contribute towards the environment.

My job is far less demanding as compared to the previous one. My main responsibilities as a marketing analyst include market research, looking for new leads and preparation of proposals. The office atmosphere is quite convivial.

Since Christmas is approaching, I’d like to invite you here. If you could make it, trust me; this’ll be your best vacation. As you know, France is well known for its celebrations during Christmas and New year.

I can’t wait to see you.

Your friend,

There are insufficient sport facilities in your hometown for people your age. Write a letter to the local council.

There are insufficient sport facilities in your hometown for people your age. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter

– Tell them where you live

– Describe the problem

– Explain what you would like them to do about it

 

Dear Sir,

 

I, Adrian Keith, a resident of Gustave Delory for over four years, would like to draw your attention towards the problems that inhabitants of this area are facing due to inadequate sports facilities.

People of my age have very hectic schedules that exhausts them, which makes them desire spending some leisure time by playing outdoor games, but unfortunately, we cannot do it, due to unavailability of appropriate facilities. There is one ground inside the government school where children  use for playing, but it is closed when people return from their work.

I would request you to render the residents a sports complex, by converting the space outside the post office which was allocated to a park since we already have one. It would be of great benefit for children, as well as for the elderly. It will give us all a break from our monotonous life, and we will be able to keep us healthy and active as well.

 I look forward to receiving a prompt resolution on this issue.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

Adrian Keith

Dear Karen,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. Thank you so much for inviting me to your farewell party. It’s really a generous offer to put me up at your place. I would really like to come but unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it due to some urgent family commitments.

By being your colleague, I got a chance to learn several things from you. Your dedication and passion towards work used to boost our spirits and keep us motivated to perform likewise. I really appreciate your quality of helping others whenever they are in need no matter whether it is personal or professional. You used to lighten up every conversation because of your good sense of humour. We are going to miss you a lot.

I was wondering if you could make it after a week, I would like to invite you for lunch at my home. It would be delightful to have you here. Please do let me know I will plan it accordingly.

All the best for your future endeavours. Hope to see you soon.

Your friend,

Edward
