Thank you for all the content you have created. It has helped me a lot to study for CELPIP considering how less of a good content is available in the market. I wanted to ask you if you could create a similar video around complaints type of emails. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.
I would be most grateful if you could share the details for the upcoming meeting scheduled on February 29, 2024 via email. I am particularly interested to know the venue, time and main agenda of the meeting.
To whom it may concern, My name is John, and I am writing to request for your assistance in locating my lost wallet. Last week, I took a flight from Vancouver to Toronto with your airlines and seemed to have dropped my wallet on the airplane. I only realized that my wallet was missing upon arriving home and frantically searching my bag. The wallet in question is a black leather wallet with the initials “P.M.O.” engraved on the outside. It is similar in size and shape to a passport and is around 4 inches thick. It is vital that I retrieve this wallet since it holds some of my most important cards such as my drivers license, health card, credit cards and other cards I use on a daily basis. Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation regarding my request. Regards, Patrick Max
I would appreciate some information in regard to the team meeting that is being held next week. I am particularly interested to know the agenda of this meeting. Therefore, I can decide whether if it is required for me to attend or skip it to help my daughter with her homework.
I wonder if it would be possible for you to provide me with some further information concerning the upcoming meeting, where and what time it'll be, moreover if you have more details, let me know.
Thanks for sharing your response. Here are a few tips to consider: - Try to include the detailed information you need into the main clause: “…to provide me with some further information concerning the upcoming meeting, such as the time, location, or anything else I should know.” Keep up the good work!
I wonder if it would be possible for you to provide me with the details of upcoming meeting, such as exact location, time, dress code and anything else that is required for the meeting.
Thanks for sharing. Here’s a point to consider: Use the definite article “the” whenever you’re referring to something the reader already knows about (e.g., “the upcoming meeting” or “the exact location”).
Try to use a noun phrase after “appreciate” For example: “I appreciate your help” (Your help = NP) “I appreciate your kind gesture” (Your kind gesture = NP). Your sentence could also be written as follows: “I would appreciate any information regarding the ensuing meeting.” (notice how I replaced the -ing verb (receiving) with an NP (“any information regarding the ensuing meeting). Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing. - Use the word “regarding” when you mean “related to”. (e.g., “…to share some information regarding our next…”) - Again, try to get rid of redundant words. Instead of “gathering session”, just call it a “meeting” Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your question. You can actually use both because “I’m” is a very common contraction in English (used in both semi-formal or informal writing). However, if you want to play it safe (especially if you feel you might not have as much control over your time), just use the non-contracted form.
Hey there, Thanks for your interest in becoming a channel member. All you have to do is click on the “join” button on the channel homepage (It’s right next to the “subscribe” button). Happy learning!
Thanks for sharing. This is a great sentence. Just keep in mind you don’t need the article “the” before “details”. Go with “some details” or just “details”.
The video lessons include notes on informal writing. For example, when I teach you how to write a salutation, I’ll cover both formal and informal style in the same video.
Hi Dennis, Great question. Ideally, your email should fall within the range and should not be longer than 200 words. This is because a very long email would not be communicating the message efficiently and may even cause the reader to miss the point of your email/function paragraphs. If I were you, I’d play it safe and make sure my email doesn’t get any longer than 200 words. Hope this is useful, and good luck!
I'm writing to request whether you would be so kind as to send me the details of the approaching meeting this week with the Dunder Miflin paper company at the Office. This is Maliha, from the operations department, I've received the invite on my teams for the meeting this week on Thursday the 5th, I've not been present in the last meeting where I believe the talk of merger took place. I wonder if I may request your assistance with filling me in on the details of the last and the upcoming meeting agenda.
Thanks for sharing. Here are a few tips: - Don’t stack too many hedging expressions or politeness markers into your opening sentence, and don’t give away too many details at this point (Michael Scott’s brain needs some background information first). - Don’t just use a comma between independent clauses (sentences). Say: “…the operations department.* I’ve received the…” Keep at it (“That’s what she said”)
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to request your assistance regarding my wallet, which I lost during my last flight from Vancouver to Toronto. My name is Don and I have been your customer for last 5 years. Two days back upon coming back home, when I was preparing to pay for the taxi, I suddenly realized that I had left my wallet on the plane. I recall having my wallet while boarding the flight so I suspect, I might have left it on my seat. Allow me to explain what my wallet looks like. Firstly, it is a black leather wallet with a horse figure engraved on it. It is a two-wing wallet that closes on the side and has a coin compartment with a golden zip. I was sad and concerned after the incident as I had my valuable belongings in there. To be specific, I had 3 credit cards, 1 driving license, and my health card. Thankfully, as I do not carry that much cash with me, I only had one $50 bill in it. I hope this email finds your utmost attention. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Yours sincerely, Don Joe.

I appreciate all your effort
Thanks for the support!
Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation to provide more information about upcoming meetings.
Keep the closing statement general and avoid making changes to the sentence structure (as they tend to be fixed expressions).
Really appreciate your lesson,
Thanks for your support! Happy learning!
I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward details of the meeting tomorrow.

I would appreciate some information in regard to the team meeting that is being held next week. I am particularly interested to know the agenda of this meeting. Therefore, I can decide whether if it is required for me to attend or skip it to help my daughter with her homework.
I wonder if you could provide me with the aspects of our subsequent meeting. I am particularly interested in the agenda, participants and its venue.
Instead of “aspects”, say “provide me with a run down of our upcoming meeting.”
I wonder if it would be possible for you to provide me with some further information concerning the upcoming meeting, where and what time it'll be, moreover if you have more details, let me know.
Thanks for sharing your response. Here are a few tips to consider:
- Try to include the detailed information you need into the main clause:

I would appreciate receiving the details of the ensuing meeting.

For example:

Hope this helps!
I would highly appreciate it if you could kindly provide me with the details of tomorrow's meeting.
This is a great sentence, but on the test, make sure you specify what type of information (e.g., time, location, etc.) you’re seeking.
I wonder whether it would be possible for you to share the details of the upcoming meeting regarding our new project proposal.
Good work. Focus on your use of prepositions:
“…to share details regarding* the upcoming meeting on* our new project proposal.”
I am wondering whether or not, you would be able to share some information considering our next gathering session on December 1st.
Thanks for sharing.
- Use the word “regarding” when you mean “related to”.
(e.g., “…to share some information regarding our next…”)
- Again, try to get rid of redundant words. Instead of “gathering session”, just call it a “meeting”
Keep up the good work!
I would be most grateful if you could forward me the meeting details scheduled for tomorrow.
Good sentence, but consider rephrasing “meeting details scheduled for tomorrow” as the details are not scheduled; the meeting is!
just a question please, for formal email- should the contraction I'm writing be used or I am writing...
Thanks for your question.
You can actually use both because “I’m” is a very common contraction in English (used in both semi-formal or informal writing). However, if you want to play it safe (especially if you feel you might not have as much control over your time), just use the non-contracted form.
@@fasttrackesl thank you for your response.

Is there a video on informal letter writing
The video lessons include notes on informal writing. For example, when I teach you how to write a salutation, I’ll cover both formal and informal style in the same video.
Hi teacher, will I lose points if my email is longer than 200 words? Thank you!

@@fasttrackesl Thank you for enlightening me!
I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me the details regarding our upcoming parent meeting.
The terms “parents’ meeting” or “parent-teacher meeting” may be more accurate.
I'm writing to request whether you would be so kind as to send me the details of the approaching meeting this week with the Dunder Miflin paper company at the Office.
This is Maliha, from the operations department, I've received the invite on my teams for the meeting this week on Thursday the 5th, I've not been present in the last meeting where I believe the talk of merger took place.

Keep at it (“That’s what she said”)
I wonder if it would be possible for you to send me out detail of last meeting about wish list of the clients on Monday.
Don’t pack too much into one sentence. Start with a short sentence that makes the request, and then write follow-up sentences for the details.
can we say: "I wonder if you could send...."?
“I wonder if you would mind…” is a politer version.
Do we loose marks if we write more than 200 words?
I wouldn’t suggest writing more in the email task as an overly lengthy email is problematic.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to request your assistance regarding my wallet, which I lost during my last flight from Vancouver to Toronto.
My name is Don and I have been your customer for last 5 years. Two days back upon coming back home, when I was preparing to pay for the taxi, I suddenly realized that I had left my wallet on the plane. I recall having my wallet while boarding the flight so I suspect, I might have left it on my seat.
Allow me to explain what my wallet looks like. Firstly, it is a black leather wallet with a horse figure engraved on it. It is a two-wing wallet that closes on the side and has a coin compartment with a golden zip.
I was sad and concerned after the incident as I had my valuable belongings in there. To be specific, I had 3 credit cards, 1 driving license, and my health card. Thankfully, as I do not carry that much cash with me, I only had one $50 bill in it.
I hope this email finds your utmost attention. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
Don Joe.
I Am eagerly awaiting your response.
Probably a typo, but the “A” should be in lower case. You can also consider the contracted form (“I’m”) for your sentence.
