Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to enquire about your English language summer courses in London. These have been recommended to me by a friend in Hong Kong who took a short course last summer at your school in Cambridge. I have seen your online brochure. However, there are some details I would like to confirm.
Firstly, I would like to know whether all of your teachers are native speakers and whether they use British or American English. I should also like to know what qualifications your teachers have. Another friend recently had a bad experience at a summer school in Oxford where the teachers were unqualified undergraduate students and were only teaching at the school as a part-time summer job.
I see from your website that the school is located in Bloomsbury. I will be staying with my sister, who lives in St John’s Wood.  I do not know London well, and I would like to know whether this would be convenient and approximately how long it would take to get to the school from here.
For the past two years I have been taking a part-time English language course at Hong Kong University. I have just finished the Advanced Certificate course using the course book Inside Out Advanced. Obviously, I do not want to cover the same work again so I would be grateful if you could tell me which class would be most suitable.
Finally, my friend told me that your school in Cambridge had a very good social programme with lots of visits to interesting places and opportunities to socialize with other students and teachers. She also said that she was one of only two Chinese students in her class, so she had to speak English at all times. This is particularly important to me as I would like to get as much speaking and listening practice as possible while in the UK. 
Could you confirm that I would be in a similar class of mixed nationalities? I do not want to be in a class where a large number of the other students are Chinese speakers. I would also like some information about the social programme for the summer courses.

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Yours faithfully
