3) Dear Sara,

I’m writing to ask you a favor. Could you please come to my room in our office and cover for me tomorrow, while I am off the work? Actually, there is a meeting at my daughter’s school. So, I have to go and meet her teachers. The meeting will take five hours to consult about some matters. Therefore I can’t come to work. In fact, there are some essential tasks you have to do to feel in for me. First of all, the letters should be typed. Secondly, please ask the clients to come the next day in order that I respond them. Thirdly, please answer telephone calls for me.

Thank you again for standing in for me. My phone number is written bellow.

Phone number: 875307265

Love,

Marta

4) Dear Arman,

I hope all is well. As you know, we move to Lyon at middle of October. Before that time, we are going to stay in Paris from 10th to 13th October. This would inconvenience you if we are staying with you in your apartment at that time? Please kindly let me know if it is possible and please don't hesitate if you couldn't arrange that.

Regards

Maryam

Dear Mr. Boss,

I am writing to formally request a review of my current salary. For the past 5 years I have been working as a chemical engineer in your Company. During this time, my responsibilities at the company have grown and I not only complete all of those responsibilities, but also I do with an exceptional quality of work. However, my salary has remained the same since I was hired in 2012. I would like to respectfully request a meeting to review my salary.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Elmira Ahmadi

2) Dear professor

I am afraid to say that I cannot finish my article in the following two days because I feel so sick and I do not have enough focus and I have to ask for more time. I promise that this more time that I am asking for, won’t be unusable. I wish you will accept my apology.

Yours faithfully
