Sample Answer 2 (148 Words, 8 Sentences, 7 Paragraphs, Band 9)
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I would like some information about Ihc Tertiary Preparation Certificate. If possible I would like to enroll in this course as a part-time student in 1992.
I left school eight years ago after completing the 1ISC. Since then I have worked as a sales assistant in both Grace Bros and David Jones. From the beginning of this year I have been in charge of the Children’s Wear Department in Grace Bros, Lily field.
However, in order to advance any further in my career into a managerial position, I will need to do some further study, such as a Marketing or Business Course. Because I have not studied for many years, I believe that I should complete the TPC before enrolling in a Business course.
Could you please send me the information as soon as possible, and tell me the dates for enrolling in Ihe Tertiary Preparation Certificate.
Yours faithfully,
Ronald Young.
