Dear Sir,
I saw your school’s advertisement in today’s edition of Viet Nam news.
I am interested in learning Vietnamese and I would like some information about your school.
I speak a little Vietnamese, but I want to learn to read and write it. Could you please send details of courses and fees? I can complete a spoken Vietnamese test if necessary.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
John Robinson
