Dear Sir:

I am interested in attending Harvard University to study business. Please send me the appropriate application forms and any information you have about the undergraduate business program. I will also need to know the necessary information about TOEFL requirements because English is not my mother tongue. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,

October 10, 2010Dear Daniel,

Thank you very much for the wonderful holiday vacation I spent with you and your family. Your mother is such a terrific cook! I think I must have gained 10 pounds in just a week I spent with you. I really appreciate your taking time off from work to take me around and show me so many places. You are lucky to live in such an interesting area. I hope that soon you will be able to visit my part of the country. Thank you again for a wonderful time. Let's keep in touch.

Best regards, Matthew

It’s my pleasure to be your English teacher. Every time I step into 1169 class with excitement, looking forward to anything interesting to happen. It is you guys that make me understand what is the happiest moment as a teacher. Nice to have you and hope we will both find our English classes valuable and inspiring in the remaining two weeks.

Wish you all the best,

Angy
