Dear sir ,

I’m writing this email inform you that we are planning to organize a trip
to the black mountains in west wales for a group of students from
Canterbury in kent, UK. Im samai esma the organizer of the trip, we
count on to visiting the black mountains by the end of next week first of
july and we are looking forward to stay at the hostel for about three
days and two nights. The number of students will be around 20 more
precisely 11 females and 9 males, but only 16 of them will be attending
the party. I will require from you some arrangements firstly we demand
a bus to transport the students from the hostel to the mountains,
secondly we will be in need of separate bedrooms for girls and boys
with shower included and lastly it is preferable at the dinner party to
have a various menu selections since some of the students are on a
gluten free diet and one of them has food allergy to milk and eggs.
We are looking forward to spending a good time at your hostel,in the
meantime I ll be waiting for your response.
Cordially

Dear sir/madam,
I’m writing to ask about a specific request regarding my gym bag that I
forgot yesterday at your gym. My name is samai esma and I’m an old
member of your gym and I have been training there for two years.
Unfortunately yesterday as I finished my training at 7pm and on my
way to go home I realized that I did not have my bag with me which
contains my personal important things one of them is my computer
that I really need for my work. My beautiful new backpack with leather
material is black colored and has decent size for a bag, it also has
white details in the front and on the handle, however the side pockets
are yellow.
As you announced that the gym will be closed for a week for some
renovation work I was really hoping that you could make an exception
for me, so I can get my bag tomorrow morning that as I said I really
need for my work
Kind regards
Dear Amina,
I hope you are doing well as you get my email, i have missed you a lot
since last time we met.
I was very happy as I received your invitation to the dinner party that
you planned at your house next weekend, and I’m very excited to be
there celebrating your birthday because it has been a long time since
we were all together you and me and our mutual friends.
I’m looking forward to seeing how you managed to decorate your
house for the party, and the kinds of food that you prepared for us. I
also hope that you could bring the Dj that Samantha had brought to
her party.
I can help you with the deserts if you want to, I have my sister who
makes good cakes and I will prepare by myself some cookies with
chocolate chips I know that they are your favorites.
Thank you a lot, your best friend Asma
XOXO

Dear Mr Brown,
I’m writing this email to ask for your help the day of my presentation
That I will be presenting in two days from now at 9am at the meeting

I have been preparing this project for almost 2 months and I worked so
hard on it, therefore I need this presentation to be at level of my
efforts. In addition my work promotion relies on this project. I have
been submerged with work to the point that I don’t have the time to
prepare all the arrangements of this presentation, this is why i’m in the
need of your help to provide for me some equipments
First of all I will be needing a projector and a cables to plug with my
computer, then I also need a microphone so that everyone in the room
can hear me and lastly I will count on you also to bring water and some
paper notes for the attendees of the presentation.
With sincere thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam,
As the manager of the local museum, I’m writing to you this email to
complain about my last visit which took place on the 4th of july.
Im Samai Esma one of the visitors , While was touring in your museum
with my grandmother who is a big fan of history and a former artist ,
we encountered several issues worth signaling ; there were not a
convenient entrance for people with disabilities, therefore I had to help
her take the stairs instead of using her wheelchair, after that when we
were moving to next floor the elevator was insanely narrow and a lot of
people were using it, so we had to wait for long time before it was
empty , and lastly when my grandmother wanted to use the restroom it
was very hard for her.
I suggest that you could arrange some modifications such as a special
entrance, restrooms and a second elevator for people with disabilities
so it would be a pleasing visit for them in the future .

1- Summary
The consumption of food is changing through the years, people
nowadays consume more imported and processed food then they used
to do years ago. This shift raises questions about the reasons behind
consumer choices and strategies to support local food.
One of the reasons that make people lean toward choosing imported
food is the appearance and variety of choices. The imported food may
be more appealing and can seem to be tastier that local aliment. For
example people would prefer buying French cheese, Italian pasta,
Suisse chocolate then the one that are produced locally. In addition to
globalization that helped providing every possible nouriture across the
world. Another reason that should brought the attention to is the
budget of the consumer since a large of imported food can be
incredibly cheaper due to low cost of production in other countries.
There are several strategies that can be highlighted. Firstly, supporting
the local farmer and agricultures by providing them with financial aid
and by reducing taxes, secondly raising the awereness about the
benefits of the local food and their biggest impact on our health and life
style. Lastly, tours to farms and visits can be established for consumers
to learn about the origin of their food and encourage them to buy it
more. Supermarkets should also be encouraged to put forward more
local food in their shelves
