Informal Letter

>> Selasa, 12 April 2011

Hi Leo,
It's been a while since we wrote, so I thought I'd drop you a line to bring you up to date with what's been happening here.
I suppose the most important thing is that Jane's job is more secure than we thought. At the beginning of the year, when she got the job, we thought it might only be for one semester, but we just found that she has a permanent contract of sorts. Obviously this is great, as it means we can relax a little. I still don't have what I really want work wise, but it will happen soon. You have to stay positive, don't you?
My parents are both fine, and I think they are really happy that we've moved back. For us, it's great to be so close to family again, an extra sense of comfort and security. We see my sister quite often as she's in London, although we're not that bothered about going into the city.
So, what about you these days? Are you still stuck in that old job? Since I've been having so much trouble getting a job I understand your reluctance to change. There's nothing worse than filling in endless application forms, with no idea of what it will lead to.
Anyway, I've got another form to fill in so I'll love you and leave you.
Regards
John

An informal letter asking for a favour
Hi Jen,

I'm writing this letter because I really need your help. You're the only person who knows me well enough to give me a reference for a course I want to do. I saw an advert in a paper recently offering a free journalism course to successful applicants. I sent in an article I wrote for the student newspaper, you know, the one about legalising drugs? Anyway, they really liked it, but as there are only five places they want a reference as well. I haven't given them your name yet, as I expect this would be the first reference you've been asked to give. Is it OK if I send them your phone number? I think they want to phone so they can have a proper conversation with you and really check me out. I know it's been a while but if you could do it it'd really help me out. I've got a new phone number, 09957 234 563, so you can get me on that, and my address is still the same. Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards
Patrick

A semi-formal e-mail in the form of a report
Hi Doug,
Just getting back to you with a preliminary report on what we need to set up the multimedia suite in the library. Firstly I looked at cameras and other hardware that students will be borrowing.
As you know we're dealing with about 600 students on this site. In addition, there have been 6 tutors who have already been asking about digital cameras and digital video cameras, and they hadn't even heard about this project. Judging by the interest I don't think we should buy less than 4 of each, that way we can let a class take three at a time and still have one left over. We'll also need to ensure that the cameras are only lent out for a day at a time. I'm going to try to get some advice from other colleges about equipment which is both rugged and reliable enough to be borrowed by our students. We'll probably need to get a mini disc recorder as well, so students can record high quality sound.
The second area I looked at was the computer hardware we need.
Obviously, as we'll be dealing with video, image and audio files, we'll need as fast a processor as we can get, Mac or PC. We'll also need at least 512MB of RAM, but 1GB would actually be much better. For capturing video we'll need a 10,000 rpm hard drive as well, they're much faster than the old 7,200 rpm drives. They also need to be as large as we can afford. If we can get a deal it is probably better to get Macs, even if it'll take a little while for everyone to get used to them. I suppose that depends upon our preferred suppliers though. With a discount we should be able to get at least 3 workstations. Finally we need to consider software. We need to have a full range of media software, from print to video on at least one computer, preferably all three. It would be great if students had the opportunity to use whatever media was best for their particular project. I think it could be very interesting to help them use the internet as a vehicle for their opinions, and for demonstrating their skills. So that's it for now. We're really looking at a budget of £8,000 for the hardware. We'll have to look at the licenses we already have for software to see if we'll need to spend much on that. I'll get back to you when I have more info on the cameras.
Cheers
Charlie

Dear Paula,
Oh, how I missed being with you during the holidays this year! Everything in London is so different from Spain that I don't know if I'll ever get used to living here. I'm so glad that my father's job at the Spanish Embassy will only last until June. Then we will come home, and you and I can spend the summer on the beach. (I hope you'll spend your holiday in Spain, as usual.)
I've already made some very nice friends, but don't worry - no one could ever replace you as my best friend! After school, I sometimes go to my friend Fiona's house. She enjoys listening to the same music and watching the same clips that you and I like. In fact, Fiona and I have tickets for Bon Jovi's concert next month. I wish you were coming with us!
Life is very different here. Would you believe that we have to wear a uniform to go to school? It's awful! A blue skirt and blazer, a white blouse and a ridiculous checked tie, not to mention a pair of horrible, long, white socks. Besides, there is nothing to do in the evening. All the shops close by 4.30 p. m. and pubs are only open till 11 p. m.
That's all for now. I must start my homework for my English class tomorrow. The teacher wants us to write an informal letter to a friend and I don't even know where to begin! Please write soon and tell me all the news. I miss you.
Love,
Sandra

Dear Jane.
I hope you are feeling better Are you able to sit in the garden and enjoy the sunshine.?
We all miss you in the office and look forward to your return. There have been a few changes since you went into hospital. Eric Johnson has now retired (lucky man) and Matthew has taken over Eric's job. He is struggling at the moment. He hopes you will return soon to rescue him from the muddle.
I thought you would like the book I'm sending you with this letter I saw it in the bookshop and thought it would make you laugh. I know you 've always wanted to live in Greece. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and find time to read it before you return to work
Take it easy and look after yourself I'll write again soon.
Best regards
Sheila
