SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Animesh,

Since the day I got selected in the Ottawa University for a four-month intermediate course on journalism, there has been so much on my plate. The course seems to be very exciting and I hope there will so much more to learn from it. However, my only concern is that the course is a bit expensive.

To assist in covering the costs of my study and other expenses, I am planning to take up a part-time job. There have been few jobs that I was searching for and have given my resumes there but I am not sure if they will accept.

I was wondering if you could ask among your friends or colleagues if someone is interested in giving a respectable job to a college student. I know you have a wide social network in Ottawa which you could canvas for me.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Best wishes,

Avantika

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Avinash,

I was so sorry to hear about your accident! I hope you are feeling a lot better now and you have got someone to have fun with in the hospital.

The match that we had on Saturday was amazing. Initially, with a key player like you not being with us, we all lost hope but then our captain pumped us up for the game. The game began with the opponent scoring 198 in 20 overs. This was a huge score but the winds and the spirit in the dressing room, just made it up. Three of our players made a half century and we won with a closing six from the captain. For some time, we all felt like a movie was going on.

I think the weather was on batsman side. Bowlers were not getting enough swing and the pitch was also very supportive. Towards the end of the game, there was no help left for the bowlers than to simply surrender.

Let us know when you are going home and will be fit for the game. All of the team wishes you a speedy recovery.

Best wishes,

Avantika
