Dear Mr. Wong,

We would like to apply for admission for my daughter to your school in 2005.

My daughter’s name is Kitty Yim and she is studying in primary 6 at ABC Primary school.

We have great respect for the school's reputation, and we think highly of the school's facilities. Thus, we have encouraged Kitty to study here to equip herself for future challenge.

We believe that Kitty is a good girl. She is honest, working hard and a little clever. She can arrange her time to her schoolwork and her hobbies. She likes playing piano and sport. On the music aspect, her piano teacher tell us that she reaches the standard of the level 3 piano exam and she can take the exam next year although she don’t take any exam at this moment. On the sport aspect, she was lucky to get 2 first places on 50M running and 1 second place on badminton competition. On the art aspect, she took 2 course outsides school for drawings.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to your positive reply.

Yours sincerely,


Mr. Vincent Yim

You might want to change "She likes playing piano and sport" to something like,

"She likes playing piano and sport and draw."

Now you have a detailed sentence explaining each.
