INFORMAL:
Hey Matt,
I’ve just received an email from the volunteer organization that I am involved with. We have to complete 20 hours of volunteer work in different places. I think this is a lot, but they are helping us find new positions. I’m going to contact them for more information.
Speak soon,
Sumandeep


Write an email to the leader of the volunteer organization (about 120-150 words). Tell them your thoughts about this and what you would like to do. You have 20 minutes.


FORMAL:
Dear Mr. Arsenault,
Thank you for your email.
Although 20 hours of volunteer work seems like a lot, it will be easy to complete in more than one location. Currently, I am helping out once a month at an after-school program for poor children. I opted for this position because it gives me more teaching experience. At the end of the academic year, I will have only completed 10 hours.
For this reason, I am requesting help finding another opportunity. You have mentioned serving food in a kitchen, but I do not think I would be a good fit in this position. I am terrible in the kitchen and very clumsy. Instead, I would prefer to work with children. I think that I am patient and could really make a difference.
Please let me know if you can arrange a position in that field.
Regards,
Sumandeep Kaur


Dear Sir/Madam,
As I have recently read on your email, members of the club will have to pay an extra fee, or a smaller monthly payment due to upgrade and improvements on the website. I feel confident that these changes will be worth paying the amount of 50$.
I have been a member of this club for many years and I would like to continue using your services. However, currently I am unemployed, so I can not afford to pay that fee, or any commitment to pay an extra monthly payment. To solve this issue, you could make a discount for older members, at least for unemployed ones.
I hope you find this solution satisfactory. Thanks for your understanding.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Francisco Sánchez.
