writing a letter to a college to ask about studying abroad ?

We Answered:

In the US, almost all college web sites will list all of their study aboard programs and the requirements for them. Programs can be for a couple of weeks during the summer, over spring break or for a whole semester. And they can change from year to year.

help with writing sample character letter reference for court?

We Answered:

Does the punishment fit the crime? Punishment would be loss of apprenticeship, loss of transportation which could lead to loss of job (and this could potentially result in further crime.)
Crime committed is speeding. How excessive? Common under 20mph? Other violations showing that your client has a habit of this?
He is, on his own, taking a drivers course to better himself as he has identified a problem of his own and is making moves to correct it.

A great (and easy way) to go about this is finding a character reference sample for a job application, and slightly "tweak" it :-D. Add a paragraph here and there acknowledging the petty crime, the honor in the person in reflection of his personal betterment by taking the drivers course, and conclude it with the rhetoric of if all those precipitating punishments truly fit the crime committed. Also perhaps suggest (tread lightly here) a fine in replace of the suspension. May be the easiest, quickest, and best bet.

tell me the website from where i can get letter writing samples condoling the death of someone?

We Answered:

There is a sample letter on about.com, "A letter of sympathy, or condolence, should be written and sent promptly. A good guideline is within the first two weeks following the loss. Handwrite the letter on stationary rather than typing and printing from a computer. If you want to use a store-bought card, write a personal note on stationary and tuck it inside the card."

Priscilla Said:

free letter writing samples?

We Answered:

Search your heart and the words will follow. When you are sincere about what you're saying style and technique have no meaning. It is the message that counts. Just write what you are feeling and thinking so that your letter will touch the reader's heart as well as his or her mind. Just give it a try! You will probably be wonderfully surprised by what you write without using any sample letters from anyone else. Good luck.

I need help writing a letter to volunteer?

We Answered:

volunteers are a blessing! just write an honest letter. include age, interest and your background. i work at a hospital and we need volunteers to answer the phones at times and put out the daily paper.
can you use a copier, fax, or do you know how to transfer calls? if so, that would be great! include details, such as, if you are a fast learner.
good luck.
