Writing a REAL formal letter of inquiry GLION V


As a result of progress, letter writing has evolved, but mostly in format, not so much in form. We now are more likely to use email than a pen paper. I must point out that many instances still occur where people write formal letters on paper.

We have been reading about jobs in the tourism industry. After looking for opportunities for internship, employment or further study, you will go to the following links to get more pointers on letters of inquiry.

Once you have acquainted yourself with the formalities of letter writing. You will visit the site of the Le Cordon Blue, or one of the sites you researched last Friday, and look for a program that you would like to take or apply for. After you have read information on the different programs, you will send a letter of inquiry requesting information on the program or position, its requirements, as well as, scholarship , financial aid information or salary and benefits

Address your letter to:

"Dear Sir or Madam" if you do not know the person's name. 
Choose one option and write a FORMAL letter of inquiry, and copy me in your email to ralfortiz@gmail.com
Your letter mus be written very carefully and with no spelling or grammatical mistakes.

To improve your vocabulary, and check your spelling, I suggest you go to Dictionary.Com so you start using an English-English dictionary.
