Dear Mr. Smith,

reading an economic news websites I read that a Business-English course is going to start next month, at the British school at the end of the road. It include twenty four hours of teaching with a mother tongue professor. The peculiarity is that the classes are one-to-one and not in group. The cost, compared to other English schools, is competitive, and is 20 euros per hour.

As we are going to acquire two new companies in UK, we will need to communicate with them very often to solve all the startp issues. A better and clearer communication would surely help us to save time and money.

You have just written me that next month I am going to start a very expensive course on “Privacy and cybersecurity”. I believe that should be better for me and the company to postpone it to the second part of the year. Instead of paying for me that course, you could enroll me in the course that I found and give me two hours extra for the english course.

yours sincerely,

Andrea
