Sample letter
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to ask for more information about the tour guide training courses at the SGV Vocational 
School. I am over 18 years now and I am very interested in travelling and exploring different cultures. I 
would really like to apply for one of your courses. 
First, I would appreciate it if you could tell me what the entry requirements are. I finished upper-secondary 
school last summer. Could you please let me know if I still need to take a test? If there is one, please let me 
know where I can find detailed information about it. 
Next, I would like to know the course fee and the daily wage for the apprenticeship. It is very important for 
me to have this information so that I can decide if I can afford to study at your school. 
Finally, it would be great if you write back to me with details about what topics it will cover and how long it 
will take.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Hoang Bao Nam CONSOLIDATION
