179 Sample answer From: Philip Lindt <plindt@email.com > To: <office@kenmusic.ie > Subject: International music project Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you as my class is interested in the possibility of doing a joint music project with your school. We saw your website and are especially interested in work- ing with you as we also specialise in traditional music. We are looking to expand our range of songs by learning from other musicians around the world and are very keen on Irish music. Equally, we would like to share our traditional Austrian music with you so that you can add to your collection. Our school has an emphasis on music, and all pupils are required to take music lessons in addition to the core subjects. Everyone has to play at least one instrument, such as the piano, guitar or accordion, many even play two different instruments. Furthermore, we have a school choir which has won awards in both local and national competitions. Our school orchestra is well known in the area and often plays at special events and openings. Could you please tell me what possibilities there are for sharing our music? Perhaps you would be interested in exchanging audio files via the internet so that we can communicate in real time? We would particularly enjoy music that features traditional Irish instruments such as the fiddle or harp. It would also be very exciting if we could link more schools around the world at the same time to have a truly international event. I would be grateful if you could contact me in order to make plans for a joint music project. I very much look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Philip Lindt Introduction: Make your purpose clear at the beginning of your email. State what you expect the recipient to do. Refer to the information given in the prompt.
