Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Swathi Reddy, working as a software engineer in India. I have recently learned about your seminar on Ethical Hacking, scheduled to be held in Sydney, Australia in December 2024, through an advertisement in a newspaper. I am planning to attend this workshop and need some further details.
The schedule was not mentioned in the advert. Hence, I would like to know the duration and schedule of the workshop.

Please also inform me how much it would cost to book my seat. Lastly, as I will be travelling from India, I would like to know about the accommodation arrangements. Is there any living place provided by you? If not, could you please let me know of the hotels nearby along with the approximate cost per night including meals?
Thank you in advance for your reply. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am very excited about the seminar on "Risk Management in the Financial Industry" that will be organised by you in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. However, the information, that I received from the advert in a local newspaper, does not include the dates, program outlines, accommodation plan and the cost.
I currently work in a financial institution in Italy and have spent over 5 years in the Risk Management sector. Thus the seminar will be immensely useful to me in facing current risk management issues. I am hoping that you will give me further details about the seminar.
Firstly, please provide me with the actual date and agenda of the workshop with the detailed program structure. Are there any prerequisites to attend it? Secondly, what would be the cost to book the seat and what international payment methods are accepted? Lastly, will you handle the hotel booking for the international participants? If so, what would be the approximate cost?
Thank you in advance. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is John Muller and I have recently noticed an advertisement in a local newspaper regarding a seminar on Labour Laws that you are going to organise in Dubai. I, being an HR professional from Vietnam, would like to participate in this seminar to enhance my knowledge. I am writing this letter to seek further information regarding this.
As this seminar will be held in Dubai, I would like to ask for the exact schedule as I have to apply for a leave accordingly from my work. Furthermore, I would like to know about the content of the program and what aspects of labour laws will be covered in the seminar. Moreover, inform me of the registration fee and whether I can register online. As I will be travelling from Vietnam and do not know anyone in Dubai, I would like to ask whether you will arrange the accommodation for the participants or not. How much the accommodation, transportation and meals might cost?

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Aguinaldo Silva, working as a researcher at the University of São Paulo, Brazil for over a decade. I have read in a newspaper that you are going to organise a seminar on 'Automated Neural Networks' and I think it would be helpful for my current research. As I could not find much information online, I would request further details.
I learned that the seminar will be held next November in San Francisco, California, USA. Now, I need to know the exact date and schedule of the seminar. Another important piece of information that I need in order to plan my trip is the exact location of the event. Since such seminars are usually very intensive, I want to know if there will be any special conditions for reservations in the nearby hotels. Has Kevin Boban really confirmed his participation as a guest speaker? If it is true, that would be great news for me since my research is being driven mainly by one of his recent discoveries.
Will we have a specific day to network and exchange knowledge with other participants of the event? Last year I went to the Artificial Intelligence seminar in Genebra and I felt really comfortable having an exclusive day for networking with other professionals instead of having short sessions throughout the whole event.
Last but not least, I need some information about the cost and methods of payment to participate in the seminar.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Aguinaldo Silva

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have recently come to know about the seminar on “Data Migration Methodologies” that you are going to organise through our company's newsletter and I would like to participate in it. I am hoping that you could help me with some details.
First, I see that the seminar is planned to be hosted in the USA. Could you please let me know if it is open to employees working in India as well? If yes, could you also help me with the travel and accommodation procedure for the same? I would require the list of hotels nearby with the cost, to check if this fits in my budget.
Also, please provide the dates and schedule of this program. What are the major topics covered in the program? Do we have detailed explanations on the six-tier methodology? And, what would be the cost to participate in it in total? Finally, is there any possibility of a discount and advance booking?
The above details will be of great help to plan our schedule for this important seminar. We are ecstatic to join you once we hear back from you.
Waiting for your reply.
Yours faithfully,

I am Saravanan H, a program manager working at Pandaloom, Pune, India writing with regards to the symposium on Advanced Hackaton Encryption which is to be held in Chicago, the USA through your organisation.

In addition to that, I am keen to know if you have already planned to accommodate the members who would be participating from different parts of the world. If so, would you be able to register my name as soon as possible so that there is no problem with my stay in a new country? But in case, the participants have to book their own hotel arrangements, would it be possible from your end to send some decent economic hotel information?
I am excited to be part of this seminar and would wait for your reply. It would help if you can provide a response by next Friday to plan for my trip.

I am writing this letter to get some details of the seminar that will be conducted in June by your organisation. I appreciate your initiatives and effort in training people to enhance their skills and knowledge.
My name is T. Rajesh Kumar, and I am an M.Tech student from Loyola Engineering college. I am doing a project on temporal planning under uncertainty in a BDI framework. I came to know about your conference while surfing the internet for making notes for my project. I found it a wonderful opportunity to enhance my knowledge.
But, after going through the conference detail, I was surprised that it did not contain in-depth details of the conference. So I would request you to send me details about the seminar schedule, accommodation details, and financial aspects of the trip. If your organisation is not going to organise the accommodation for the participant, could you please send me a list of a few places where I could stay? Kindly provide those details in my email which is myemailaddress@ gmail.com.
I hope you will take this matter seriously and take proper action.

I am Shashi Ranjan, working on SCCM tools for a large corporation in my country. I saw an advertisement regarding the SCCM conference by Microsoft in Dallas. I am really excited to attend this conference and want to know more about dates, programme details, accommodation and costs related to attending this conference.
Currently, I am staying in Queretaro, Mexico and have never travelled to Dallas. So it would be a great help if you can share more details about the programme like when this event is going to start, what are you going to cover as part of this programme and what would be the cost of this programme. The second most important thing that I would like to know is about the accommodation arrangement because I do not have any friends or relatives in Dallas, and I do not know much about that place. So please let me know if any accommodation facility will be provided or if we have to book a hotel.
I hope I will get all the details information regarding this conference soon.
Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation.

I am Rajesh Malika, writing to request information to rent your banquet hall for a get-together party that would be held on next month.
We graduated from the same school in the year 2017 and now plan to meet and spend time by sharing the happiest moments that happened during the last 10 years. While surfing the internet, we found this banquet hall which I believe is suitable for the party we are planning. We will be around 50 members in total.
It is also away from the city- which would be a great match with our expectations. We heard that this banquet hall is the busiest place with fewer available dates, so we are writing to reserve the next available dates for this occasion.
We would also like to spend time relaxing by playing games, swimming and enjoying some delicious food. I request you to provide the services available to make this gathering as memorable as possible. Please also share the costs involved in using them.
I request this information no later than this weekend to make this event successful. I hope to hear good news from you with available dates and costs.
Yours faithfully,
