Sample Answer:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inquire about the seminar on cloud computing being conducted by your organization in London next month. I learn about the seminar from your website, but could not find comprehensive information there. Could you please send me the details about the seminar?

First and foremost, I want to know about the core objective of this seminar. Secondly, in your website, there is no exact starting date and time or any schedule. So, I need to know date, time, and venue with some navigational map. Thirdly, do you provide the participants with accommodation? If it is, then let me know about when and how I will book that. Finally, I would also like to know about the total cost of the course and details of discount, if available.

I am hoping to receive detail information about the above mentioned issues as early as possible. You can send me the information at the matthew@gmail.com.

I look forward to hearing you shortly.

Yours sincerely,
Matthew Kaser
