Sample Answer 1:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to request some information regarding your Tertiary Preparation Certificate programme which I am planning to pursue this term. I am hoping you would provide the necessary details so that I can intake the course.
Regarding my education qualification, I have finished my high school diploma from the Montessori Elementary School in Baguio, the Philippines, three years ago and my major was science. I received 76% marks in my school final exam.
Now I want to get admitted to a reputed university for higher studies in the UK and for that I want to enrol in this course. I am convinced that the tertiary preparation course at your institution would greatly help me in my university education.
For that, I need to know the course duration, tuition fee and admission procedure for the Tertiary Preparation Certificate programme. I am planning to take the architectural study in a reputed UK university and would really appreciate it if you inform me of the courses I should take. Finally, do inform me of the document checklist for getting admission.
Thank you in advance. I look forward to your kind response regarding my concerns.
Yours faithfully,
Lyn Olivar

Sample Answer 2:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like some information about the Tertiary Preparation Certificate programme that I am planning to intake this summer. Your institution was recommended to me by a colleague and I am hoping you would send me the necessary information so that I can get admitted to this course.
I completed my high school diploma six years ago. Since then I have worked as an Office Assistant in two companies and currently working as a librarian in the Johnson Library. However, in order to advance my career and to be in a better job sector, I will need to do some further study, perhaps in Marketing or Management. Because I have a long study gap, I believe that I should complete the Tertiary Preparation Certificate course before enrolling in the Bachelor course in a university.
Please send me the necessary information along with the admission form to my mail address mentioned at the top at your convenience. I intend to start the course next summer.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Emma Watson
Sample Answer 3:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this letter to request the necessary information about the Tertiary Preparation Certificate programme that is offered at your university. For your kind information, I am planning to pursue the course in the next term.
As far as my previous educational qualifications are concerned, I have finished my higher school certification about 8 years ago, after completing 12 years of schooling, in India with a GPA of 3.75. Later on, I also finished my Bachelor degree in science before starting my career as a Nutrition Expert at a leading snack manufacturing company in my country. By the way, my major was science, and I studied physics, mathematics, chemistry, zoology and English among other subjects.
Currently, I am planning to get admission to a renowned Engineering university in Australia in order to pursue a post-graduate education because I am convinced that this tertiary preparation programme would help me further my career. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you please send me all the necessary information regarding the admission procedure, course duration and tuition fees at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours faithfully,
