Dear Suman,

I hope this letter finds you well.I am writing this letter as a reply of your inquiry regarding driving and driving school.I am glad that you finally decided to give your driving exam.

As per my experience, liscense is very important to survive here in Canada. It equips one with lots of job opportunities and saves time. There were many good wages jobs that i had to give up because I did’nt have the liscencse. It will be lot more convienient after you have it, I can guarantee that.

Moreover,I know the driving school named ‘Driver’s Choice’ that makes you perfectly ready for the exam.I also did in the same school with qualified instructors.

In addition, I want you to practise with my car whenever you have time, it will help you to revise what you learn in school. Put more focus on sterring handling and looking at all the sides while driving.

I am looking forward to meet you soon.

Yours Sincerely

Samiksha
