Sample Answer 1:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Rona Lyn Olivar, an ICU Nurse at the Urdaneta City Sacred Heart Hospital, located in the province of Pangasinan in the Philippines. I have learned from a colleague that you will conduct an Electrocardiogram Training in Singapore. I am writing to ask for some specific information regarding the seminar schedule, program details, accommodation arrangement and the cost.
Firstly, with regards to dates and time, what will be the seminar schedule and what time would it begin and end each day? Secondly, please notify me of the topics and speakers of the program. I am wondering if there is any special consideration for the registered nurses who will be attending the seminar? And finally, I would also like to know about the accommodation and the cost. Would the accommodation be arranged by you or should an individual be responsible for that? What would be the approximate cost to attend and successfully finish the seminar?
I am very much interested in attending the seminar and your reply would help me plan for it in advance. So, I am looking forward to hearing from you soon regarding my concerns.
Yours faithfully,
Rona Olivar

Sample Answer 2:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Swathi Reddy, currently working as a software engineer in India. I have learned about your seminar on Ethical Hacking, scheduled to be held in Sydney, Australia in December 2021, through an advertisement in a newspaper. I am planning to attend this workshop and need some further details.
The seminar schedule was not mentioned in the advert. Hence, I would like to know the duration and schedule of the workshop. I would be glad if you can also give me a brief of the program: which aspects of Ethical Hacking will be covered as part of the workshop and if there will be any hands-on or will it be just a theoretical session. Please 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 arrangement. Is there any living place provided by you? If not, could you please let me know of the hotels nearby along with the probable cost per night including meals?
Thank you in advance for your reply. I am looking forward to attending the seminar.
Yours faithfully,
Swathi Reddy
Sample Answer 3:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to request some information regarding the conference that your organisation is going to conduct next month in Perth Australia, as advertised in the Daily Heralds. I am hoping that you would provide me with these details as soon as possible so that I can book my seat for the workshop.
First off, I would like to know the exact schedule of the symposium to sanction the leaves from my work. Is there any prerequisite to attend the conclave? If so, what are they?
Secondly, the venue details with a navigational map would be highly appreciated as I will be travelling to Perth for the first time. Are the participants expected to bring their personal laptops and other stationery?
Finally, who would be responsible for the accommodation – the participants themselves or your organisation? Can I book a hotel of my own? What will be the total cost for a participant from the UK and if there is an early bird discount provided that booking is done well in advance?
I am hoping to receive your reply before next Friday. Your help and time will be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Dev Odedra

Sample Answer 4:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to get some details about the seminar – New Techniques of Production Management, which your organisation will administer in London. I am hoping that you would reply to my queries so that I can book my seat for the symposium.
I am working as a production manager in a large home appliances company in Iran for the last five years and I think this seminar would be helpful to me as it covers some new approaches to managing workers and manufacturing lines. I believe this seminar would enhance participants’ knowledge and skills in different management manners and styles applied in the home appliance manufacturing industry.
As I did not obtain all the information that I need from your advertisement, I would like to know the date and schedule of the seminar. What kind of accommodation would you prepare for the participants, if at all? Finally, how much the registration would cost? Can I book and pay online? If so, give me details instructions, please.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest.
Yours faithfully,

Sample Answer 5:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am keen to partake in the seminar you are going to organise next month in Finland. I am hoping to get further information about it to finalise my participation.
I am Raj Muthuraman, working as a senior architect in BT Financial Group in India. Currently, I am managing a research project- ‘Failure and Recovery of Technical Orchestration’, for the company and I believe your symposium on Enterprise Architecture Seminar would be a great help to me.
However, the invitation I received for the event did not confirm the dates as they were still being finalised. Can you confirm the schedule and provide an agenda for the event so that I can plan ahead? Also, can you suggest some good hotels in the area with an indicative cost? That will help me in planning my travel, accommodation and cost of the trip.
It would be great if you can send me the requested details at your earliest preferably by the end of this week by fax or email.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sample Answer 6:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to participate in the seminar you are going to organise next month in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I learned about it from your website and I believe such a seminar will help me perform better in my current job. As the website did not include all the details, I am hoping that you would not mind answering some of my queries.
As I am residing in Bangladesh, I would like to know the exact dates, venue and program schedule so that I can plan for the trip. Various actions, including taking time off from the office, applying for a visa and preparing for the trip are related to the seminar schedule.
In addition to that, please inform me about the accommodation arrangement – whether it would be managed by the host or do I need to arrange it myself? I would also like to know about the total cost of attending the seminar and other expenditures like accommodation, meals, fares etc.
I request you to provide the details of my queries so that I can complete the arrangement well ahead of time.
Thank you in advance.

Sample Answer 7:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this letter in relation to the upcoming seminar on “Testing Automation – Industry Standards”, that you are going to organise in Toronto, Canada in August 2021. I need some details and I am hoping that you would provide those to me.
I am currently employed as a Software QA Manager in a software development company in Turkey. I am keen to learn about testing automation tools and use automated testing, in addition to manual testing, to increase my scope of software quality assurance. I learned about the automation testing workshop while it was broadcasted on a local radio station.
As the advertisement was being announced while I was driving and I was unable to catch most of the information like the date and venue as well as the accommodation arrangement and cost. I will be highly obliged if you can write back about the program schedule of the symposium along with the dates and venue details. Also, I would like to know how the visa and accommodation arrangements will be done along with the total cost.
Awaiting your quick response.
Yours faithfully,

Sample Answer 8:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am very excited about the seminar on “Risk Management in 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 would 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.
Yours faithfully,

Sample Answer 9:
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 leaves accordingly from my work. Furthermore, I would like to know about the content of the program as to 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?
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
John Muller

Sample Answer 10:
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
