Hello, I'm trying to contact local school teachers to help our city with music activies for upcoming festival but have not received any responses. I decide to write a letter to the pricipal and ask for help. Would you please and please revise my letter to make it sound that I need help (I really need help) and make it grammatically correct?

Dear Mr. Principal,

Along with the July 4 celebration and the annual tree lighting event, the City of ABC will conduct a third city event on October 28, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. It will be a fine arts festival in the downtown. We will have music during the day and a concert start at 7:00 p.m., fall food and children activities center.

We currently have great numbers of volunteers for children activities but have not received responses for music activities. Weâve contacted different teachers in the Fine Arts Department but no one has replied to our voice mails or emails. We do not know if we contacted the wrong persons or if the teachers we contacted are no longer with the school. Would you please direct us to appropriate persons regarding the following activities for ABC Festival?

The activities that we wish to include and need assistance are:

- Step team

- Jazz group

- Show tune

- Bluegrass

We are trying very hard to make this festival a success. However, we will not make it without the assistance and support from local schools and local organizations. We thank you in advance for your help and we look forward to hearing from you and someone regarding the activities.

Sincerely yours,

Letter of providing an useful information

Letter of recommendation check

tazeri — Wed, 14 May 2008 16:59:37 GMT

Hi everybody,

this is my first letter of recommendation. As I'm not a native speaker I would be really glad if somebody could help me with proofreading and general correction...

Thanx!

To whom it may concern:

X.Y. has been with our companies marketing department for a year. X.Y is one of the largest producers of medical equipment and hygiene products in the Czech Republic. X is taking part in a paid internship program as a Brand Manager trainee. As her manager she is directly accountable to me.

X is responsible for provisions to advertising campaigns and management of promotional materials such as leaflets and product brochures. She was also in charge of developing and capitalizing for some of our new product launch packs. During her work she proved to be creative and responsible. Her field of study has empowered her to offer very useful tips and recommendations concerning our media activities. For example her rating analysis of radio stations has helped us to choose right station and time to reach our target group with advertisements.

Practical theory development within research methods has enabled X to comprehensively prepare surveys and questionnaires for our customer briefs. Last research task X was involved in was our regional mystery shopping project focused on pharmacies. X responsibilities were creating the questionnaires for our mystery shopping agents, general administrative support for the whole project and final processing of the obtained data.

As Iâve outlined above Xâs stay within our company has been extremely beneficial to both parties. She is a valued asset to our company. Although we would be sorry to see her go I realize X is a very ambitious young lady and therefore I understand her intentions to carry on with her studies. I wish her all the best in her future endeavours and recommend her with no hesitation for your postgraduate Mass Communications programme at the University of Leicester.

If you have any questions concerning my recommendation or require further information on Xâs work performance, please donât hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Ing. A.B.

Hi,

Please correct this.

Hi,

I have heard that your cousin was hurted in a hiking accident. Please accept our condolescences. I know you cousin very well. You and your cousin visited us last June and we had fun talking to one another. He was joy to talk to. Please let me know how his recuperation is going? Please let me know the address of the hospital, so that I can have a flower shop send a bouquet of flowers to your cousin.

We go hiking a lot and I feel we should be careful not to get injured. Mountains here are steep and precipitous despite their low heights; and I feel special attention to safety is very important in hiking mountains around here. Again, I am sorry to hear about the accident and hope to hear the news of his recovery soon.

Your friend,

College Motivation Letter... MountainHiker, you still on here?

Anonymous — Tue, 13 May 2008 22:33:51 GMT

Hi all! I have written this to the best of my ability. I'm pretty secure about the language part, as I'm bilingual, but it's the culture part that I want to check works. Some stuff I need to put in there, like the reason for the GPA - it's part letter, part appeal. But, this is my question, does it come off as too smarmy, too corny, too vague, disorganized, paragraphs need switching around? I just really liked what Hiker said to some other people n here - I have tried to follow the question checklists s/he posted "(Introduction (very quick points) 1a) Who you are 1b) What you want to do 1c) Why do you want to do it 1d) What do you want from them 2) Detailed background 2a) Expand on who you are 3) Detailed background 3a) Expand on what you want to do and why you want to do it 4) Summary 4a) Summarize what you have told them 4b) Thank them for considering your application" and the list for another poster "1) You have a Communication Science degree 2) You want to obtain a Masters Degree in European Comparative Public Policy 3) You want to study at University of Essex 4) You have a passion for European Comparative Public Policy 5) You want to do what or influence what once you are done?" This is an online... ookay, off to edit *edits* *returns* ...online college offering a Liberal Arts MA. Fort Hays State University. And this is my letter: As an immigrant from Egypt with a BA in English literature, including comparative and cultural studies, a background in consciousness-raising work and gender activism, and a lifelong dream of a career conveying these concepts to others and inspiring them to make a difference, I respectfully seek acceptance at your Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program. Culture, critical thinking, history, and social analysis have been the most important fields of study (formal and otherwise) in my life for as long as I can remember. My mission since graduation has been to analyze and question accepted ways of doing things, including sexuality, the monolithic nature of official discourse, and the mainstreaming of the Arabic language and Islam while eroding indigenous tongues and other religions in my native Egypt. As an aficionado of historical narrative, especially that of my native region, the Middle East, and a keen observer of the unseen social currents of religious and gender politics, and cultural norms, mores and values, I have devoted myself to exploring what lies beneath the surface and is visible through the 'iceberg' model of culture. To this end, I have read over 150 books on history, culture, religion, politics and sexuality, among others, mostly about Arab culture. I already am teaching Middle Eastern culture and history at a small language school. The reaction I have received has made me eager to become qualified for a better teaching position in the field of culture/comparative studies. There is so much work to be done in this area to make people truly aware! However, I sense that before being qualified to do this, I am in need of a more thorough academic grounding in epistemology, anthropology and the science of critical thinking skills, as well as in the broader areas of culture and human knowledge, including cross-disciplinary studies and research on cultures outside the mainstream. I am confident that these fields are jut what I need to formalize the learning imparted by my sometimes tumultuous social-political personal experience. While the English Department of Cairo University, where I earned my BA, was a liberal oasis (my majors included Comparative Literature, Civilization and feminist criticism), I later found many of my fellow-Arabs were resistant to a liberal outlook. At that time, the newspapers were abuzz with news of the 'Satanist cult': trumped-up charges (later dismissed by judges as a total fabrication) brought by powerful police officials against American University boys and girls, arrested for wearing black and listening to heavy metal, tortured into confessing crimes they never committed. I became more and more frustrated as people kept telling me, "The newspapers say it; it must be true." For these people, the appearance of difference, and condemnation by the mainstream media, was enough to condemn these unfortunate young people whose only crime had been to assert some individuality and deviate from social norms. The issue became even more complicated and interesting when a number of Europeans I worked with, in a well-intentioned quest for 'cultural sensitivity', ended up with a prescriptive and restrictive definition of Middle Eastern culture: "No, no, boys shouldn't take Home Economics classes. We understand your culture." I preferred to view norms, mores, and values as separate entities and not succumb to the Orientalist view that, lumped together, unchanging and unchangeable, they constituted a monolithic 'culture'. Some of the other questions I asked myself were: What is collective memory? Can one find a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, model of culture? How far does respect for difference erode the rights of the dissenting individual in a collective culture? These are questions whose answers I hope to seek in your program. In 2001, my interest in sexual/religious difference took on a more overtly political nature with the Queen Boat case, where 52 gay men were arrested on trumped-up charges of, yes, Satanism. Unable to stand it any longer, I started a campaign to pressure legal organizations to give them representation in court ("But they're fags! Why represent them?") and alert international human rights organizations to the issue. This had some success; however, it became clear that I was next in line for arrest, and finally I sought political asylum in the U.S. Since coming here, I have studied cinema (earning an associate degree with a 3.8 GPA) made a film on the subject, and am currently preparing a documentary on the veil. In addition to your academic program, which seems to offer a roadmap to the answers for many of my questions, your university is ideal for me in that you offer a course to be taken completely online. This is beyond convenient for me, as I am busy with work and have found that commuting time cuts into my study hours; I would also find it impossible to relocate to Kansas at this time. Also, in an age where education can be, literally, a forbidding expense, my gratitude knows no bounds for your efforts to provide a quality education at a price I can actually afford. I feel it is pertinent here to mention that, just before the exams of my last year at university, I was among a group of students who were holding a peaceful demonstration against the interference of the secret police in student affairs, including sabotaging student union elections. The secret police pelted us with tear gas grenades and rubber bullets; I was unlucky, and had to be carried out of the university with a broken nose and upper respiratory inflammation. When exam time came round, I was not yet recovered (Egyptian universities base the entire grade on one final exam, not on coursework) but made an effort to come to exams and ultimately managed to pass all my tests. However, while my GPA in previous years was significantly higher, as you can see from my transcript, I was unable to make the minimum 2.5 GPA required for the last 60 hours of undergraduate study. This rather lengthy and tedious explanation precedes, as you may be expecting, an urgent and very heartfelt plea that you not allow this unfortunate occurrence to stand in the way of my chances for learning and the ultimate fulfillment of my life's dream. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your university represents a dream to me, not least thanks to the convenience and cost, which means that the dream is finally within my grasp. It is my dearest hope to become a student at the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Program, thereby gaining an invaluable academic grounding and ideological framework and positively influencing others thereby. If accepted, I pledge to apply myself to my studies diligently, and never give you cause to doubt the wisdom if your decision. Allow me to thank you, again, for considering my application. Yours sincerely
