 Hi Jackson, 
 What do you mean by " English letters "? The letters P, A, C, I, N, O belong to the Italian alphabet , too. The difference lies in the way we pronounce this letters, not in the way we write them. 
 And why do you believe one should change the spelling of his/her name/surname to match foreign...</description></item><item><title>...but I thought it'd be useless to start a new one.</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ThoughtUselessStart/zvwjg/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Nov 2007 04:46:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:439728</guid><dc:creator>jackson6612</dc:creator><description>Please make corrections/edits to the following text:

No - this isn't a standard expression in English letters. It sounds as if you are expecting them to be silly enough to send an unrelated response?  My suggested phrasing is very standard and polite. 
 Also I wondered if there are any discounts or special offers available. (some preferential activities - this phrase doesn't give the meaning you think. You've already used activities to mean your own use of the park. Preferential means 'special, priviledged, favoured'. So I thought you were perhaps asking if there were any type of activities they give priority to for use of the park. For example, they like having football matches but don't like having picnics held there).

Perhaps you want to write a personal letter to your friend, to tell her what you have been doing. Or perhaps you want to write a letter to a business, to order some merchandise that you want. If your friend only speaks English, or if the business only speaks English, you need to write your letter in English.
