Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to switch one of the part-time courses that I have already booked.

Furthermore, I booked the App Development 101 course. Because while booking it, I thought that it is about developing mobile applications for android and IOS using Java or C++. Unfortunately, I was wrong and the course is about something completely different.

However, after talking to one of my friends, who took this course last year, he told me that this course is about developing Desktop applications. Therefore, I believe that I have made a mistake, and I want to cancel my booking .

Lastly, after doing some research about all the part-time courses that the university have to offer. I would like to book the Android Development 101 course because this course will one day help me build my own android app.

Best Regards,

Hussein Sheikh Wassouf.
