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>Re:  Best regards, Kind regards, or Yours sincerely, - which is correct</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/BestRegardsRegardsYoursSincerely-Correct/2/gmhqx/Post.htm#562391</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:21:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:562391</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>I am an English businessman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way you&amp;#39;re supposed to sign off a letter depends on how you start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a letter, if you don&amp;#39;t know the name of the person to whom you are sending the letter, you start &amp;quot;Dear Sirs,&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; If you start with this form, it is correct to end with &amp;quot;Yours faithfully,&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a letter, if you do know the name of the person to whom you are sending the letter, you start &amp;quot;Dear Mark,&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If this is a formal letter, then it is correct to end with &amp;quot;Yours sincerely,&amp;quot; - though if this is an informal letter you can end it however you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With email the conventions are more recent and less clearly defined.&amp;nbsp; I often start with &amp;quot;Hi Mark&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;Hello Mark&amp;quot; (just &amp;quot;Mark,&amp;quot; is a bit gruff) if I&amp;#39;ve already spoken with the addressee.&amp;nbsp; Most emails to me usually follow this format.&amp;nbsp; I usually end these emails with &amp;quot;Kind regards,&amp;quot; though lots of people just use &amp;quot;Regards,&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do use the &amp;quot;Dear Mark, / Yours Sincerely&amp;quot; format in emails if I&amp;#39;m making contact with someone for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope this helps...</description></item><item><title>Re: Please help edit this formal letter !!!</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/EditFormalLetter/gljnv/post.htm#557995</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 08:26:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:557995</guid><dc:creator>Mister Micawber</dc:creator><description>.&lt;br /&gt;Dear&lt;strong&gt; Mr [&lt;em&gt;surname&lt;/em&gt;]&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am grateful to you for your help&lt;strong&gt;, but&lt;/strong&gt; Nante is&lt;strong&gt; very&lt;/strong&gt; far from my hometown&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; and at the present time&lt;strong&gt; I &lt;/strong&gt;am&lt;strong&gt; busy at&lt;/strong&gt; school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The&lt;/strong&gt; United States &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; a good&lt;strong&gt; place to study&lt;/strong&gt;, but I &lt;strong&gt;am&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;confused&lt;/strong&gt; because of &lt;strong&gt;the &lt;/strong&gt;diversity of their&lt;strong&gt; education system.

Up to this time, I didn&amp;#39;t receive any warnings, that I did not pay in time, so I am a little bit confused that how interest could raise the amount I owe.
