Dear Sir,

This is in reference to your advertisement in ‘The Daily Times’ dated January 1, 2000. I am preparing for the Pre Medical Test. I am interested in joining your institute, but before I do so, I would like the following information.

I would like to know the duration and the timings of the course. What is the fee structure and the mode of payment? I would also like to know the strength of each batch and the success rate of your Institute. Do you offer any discount to students who have excelled in academics?

I would be grateful if you could give me a prompt response so that I can take timely decision to join your institute.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Meena Saxena
