Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my recommendations for your next occasion which named the One Word Two Feelings. I am a 27-year-old woman from Istanbul, Turkey. I am a regular customer, and I visit your bookshop on a daily basis.

I would like to suggest that this event feature young and talented authors as well as experienced and famous writers. And there is an author whose writings I believe are creative and original that I can recommend to you on this subject. He is Anıl Oğuz. He lives in Istanbul, and I assume he would like to attend the invitation.

In my opinion, his first book has a unique storyline. Through the award he received for his first book, he rose to prominence and enhanced his reputation very quickly. I think this writer will shine at the event and spice up the conversation with his interesting ideas.

Usually, his books consist of small short stories, and the topic of each story is very different from the others. So I think it will attract people’s attention.

Kind regards,

İrem Işık
