1.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Im Li Hua. Learning that you are organizing the activity to share books worldwide, I am writing to apply for it for the reason that I I have a keen interest in reading and I do own a great number of books. Of the two ways to share books youve introduced: wild release and controlled release, the latter wins my favor. It is because by the means of controlled release, I can not only deliver books to other participants on my own but also get to know various readers from different parts of the world as well. I would appreciate it if you take the trouble to provide me with some more information.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

Dear Sir or Madam,
Im Li Hua, a middle school student from China. I read the announcement of the summer camp that you have posted on the Internet and I am interested in it. I know that you welcome students from different countries and thus I am writing to apply for participating in it. Ive been learning English for 10 years, and I have a good command of great fluency in English. It is for the purpose of telling students from other countries about China and learning about their countries as well that I attempt to take part in this summer camp. I shall be much honored if you will offer me the opportunity to be a member of your summer camp.
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Ming, a student from Ming Qi Middle School of Shanghai. As Ive always been keen on charity, I am writing to you in the hope that I could be given the 2,000-yuan fund to carry out my project to help children in poverty-stricken areas. I sincerely hope that I can do something to make a difference by making full use of this program. To begin with, since the fund is limited, Ill do my utmost to purchase some good-quality second-hand books they need. Besides, I plan to recruit high school students with relative knowledge and strong desire to help pupils in poor areas. As to how to allocate the money, Id like to use 1,000 for textbooks, and the rest to pay for the travelling fee of volunteers. I am looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

Dear Sir or Madam,
Im Li Hua. I am writing to apply for teaching pupils from Chen Xi Hope School English during the summer holiday. I believe teaching them English will be good for both the primary-school students and me, which thus will result in endless social benefits. With a good character, independence in life and proficiency in English, I suppose I am qualified to be the pupils English coach. My plan for coaching them is to first stimulate their interests in learning English and then teach them by listening, speaking, reading and writing. Thank you for your consideration of my application and I sincerely hope I can be accepted.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Sir or Madam,
Ive learned that your school will hold the English Summer Camp that contains many courses, such as gardening, cooking, self-defence, nursing and so on. Now, Im writing(to you)in the hope that I can attend a course about gardening. During this learning period, I expect to know how to tell various species of plants and flowers apart. Besides, I desire to learn the proper cutting time and frequency to water. The reason why I prefer gardening is that I realize that we do lack the knowledge of gardening, missing a chance to get to know nature better. Moreover, by attending the course, I will have a meaningful as well as brilliant summer vacation. I will appreciate it very much if you could give me an early reply.
