Dear Ms Wong
Singapore Education Fair in Mumbai
Background information
I recently saw an advertisement on the June 2012 Singapore Education Fair to be held in Mumbai, on the Singapore Tourism Board’s website. This is an exciting opportunity for educational institutions and I am interested in participating in the fair as an exhibitor. I would be grateful if you could send me an exhibitor’s prospectus. (Direct request)
State the details
The Lexington University’s Singapore campus in Lavender Street is two years old and we have been offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to Singaporeans as well as students from around the region, including India. The Mumbai education fair will provide us with an excellent opportunity to share the top-quality education degree and masters programmes offered at our Singapore campus with prospective students. I am currently planning our 2012 international students marketing campaign and would appreciate any information you could send me. I can be reached at my Singapore office at 62349742.
Action–oriented close
Thank you for your help and I look forward to participating in the Singapore Education Fair in Mumbai, India.
Yours sincerely
