Subject: Query about audio materials

Dear Ms. Adhikari,
I am a student of grade IX at Shree Bhageswor Secondary School
in Shirsa VDC of Dadeldhura district. I am contacting you to ask
about the audio materials your Co. develops. I am interested to know
whether the materials come in DVDs/CDs or if we have to download
them.

Could you please send me some more information regarding the
materials as I am not sure which would be the most useful for a
student like me studying in a remote village school in Nepal?

I would also be thankful if you could tell me whether the materials
have to be bought or are available free of charge.
Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Kiran Thapa Magar
Shree Bhageswor Secondary School
Shirsa -1, Gwanni, Basauti

Note: Use a short but informative subject line of two or more words. Don’t forget to
acknowledge the emails you have received. Use very formal, personal and very
polite tone for formal emails. Some abbreviations can be used for less formal emails.
