Dear Mr. Jenson,
Hope this letter finds you well. With the English Drama Competition coming next month, I am writing to invite you to give us instructions on our play.
Firstly, could you proofread and polish our script? Your insights are highly appreciated as always. Moreover, we will be honored if you could help improve our pronunciation and acting during the rehearsal.
We plan to rehearse twice a week in the dancing studio. Just a little friendly reminder, masks are required in the studio for precaution. Our first meeting will be at 6 p.m. next Monday. Will you be available then?
We would appreciate it if you could come.
