The deadline is the 6th of November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Sir/Madam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The academic reference is provided at the request of *** who is applying for the *** Program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have known *** for 2 years as he has taken a number of courses on Higher Mathematics which I teach, i.e. ***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can say that it is not quite easy to get an excellent mark in the course examinations on the above sciences. A student is supposed to find solutions to original and sophisticated problems which were not considered on workshops during the semester. *** has successfully solved these difficult problems and brilliantly passed all the tests and got excellent marks for all examinations being quite creative and original in his answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** is a very industrious student. He had been always performing his homework, though it was not obligatory. He is not afraid to assume the responsibility. At my classes he always tackled the difficult problems while others did not do so being afraid to make a mistake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My hobby is a football, and sometimes students invite me to take part in their matches. I remember a match, when *** was a captain of the opposite team. He scored the goal at the last minute of the match, thus bringing the score draw. Then, in penalty shots, he scored the last penalty and brought victory for his team. It shows that in a critical moment *** is not afraid of taking responsibility and being the leader. Although, during the football match *** can sometimes be rather violent in everyday life he is a very kind and caring friend with a good sense of humour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on my professional experience I hold *** as an industrious, intelligent, well organized and easy-going person with a considerable willpower. I strongly believe that *** is an appropriate candidate for admission to the *** Program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any further questions with regard to his background or qualifications, please feel free to contact me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours sincerely,</description></item><item><title>Kindly please help me write this letter nicely</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/KindlyWriteLetterNicely/gxppm/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:13:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:574510</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>  Normal 0   false false false        MicrosoftInternetExplorer4        &lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would like to ask for some help on my letter.

&lt;p&gt;Could you please check my letter and&amp;nbsp;give me advice on how to improve it. The CEO has agreed&amp;nbsp;to give us an airplane ticket but we need to write a formal letter first.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;To the Chief Executive Officer&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Dear Sir,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am writing to you on behalf of *** Association.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are a French association trying to raise funds. For that purpose we are organising a &amp;quot;loto&amp;quot; (that is to say&amp;nbsp;a sort of &amp;quot;bingo&amp;quot;, except that people&amp;nbsp;are awarded&amp;nbsp;prizes instead of cash), which will be held on April, ***, within the walls of our association. The benefits of the &amp;quot;loto&amp;quot; will be attributed to the *** Bureau, the aim of which notably being to pay for fieldtrips or any other school trips with pedagogical/educational purposes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you may know, airplane&amp;nbsp;tickets are attractive prizes and could enable us to expect more people&amp;nbsp;to turn up. This is why, we request from your generosity an airplane ticket from X to Y.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In exchange, we are willing to offer to your company something in return, under the form of advertising (billboards or anything else you may require).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We very much hope that our expectations will be met by your services and would like to thank you in advance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking forward to hearing from you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind regards &amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Kind Regards or Kind regards or kind regards...?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/RegardsRegardsRegards/3/zpvhj/Post.htm#492584</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Mar 2008 02:29:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:492584</guid><dc:creator>Susankay</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a more formal letter, just Regards or With regards,&amp;nbsp;is used. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards or Warm regards really means &amp;quot;My warm regards to you and yours.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no&lt;u&gt; other&lt;/u&gt; closing after you write these. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: letter</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Letter/zglmc/post.htm#450468</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Dec 2007 21:46:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:450468</guid><dc:creator>Grammar Geek</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;1. can I finish a formal letter with "Hoping to receive your answer and sending regards,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Joanna"? &lt;/FONT&gt;I find this too informal an ending for a formal letter. I hope to receive your answer shortly, and then your formal closing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;2. should I write the pronoun "you" in a capital letter?

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;3. can I say "call for girls" when I mean "invite some girld by calling them" &lt;/FONT&gt;I need more context to understand what you mean here. "Call for girls" sounds like a way to contact protitutes.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>letter</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Letter/zglkd/post.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:35:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:450435</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>Hi,&lt;br&gt;I've got some questions and I hope you can answer them.&lt;br&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;br&gt;1. can I finish a formal letter with "Hoping to receive your answer and sending regards,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Joanna"?&lt;br&gt;2. should I write the pronoun "you" in a capital letter?
