Dear Alice,

I hope you are having a good time. I am writing because I want to tell you about some problems we are having in our school and would like to know your opinion on the solutions I have considered.

Our first problem is the amount of scholarships available. As you know, the fees here are expensive, and there are a lot of really good students which deserve to pay less. The board should create at least 5 places for scholarships, this will not only make good students happy, but will allow other students to improve their notes.

Another problem we face is the current cafeteria is not really good, for this I was thinking on sending the board, three options with other companies, that could have the same price but better quality.

Our last and more concerning problem is English test are coming soon and the previews do not have a good result. It would be a good idea to have workshops on saturdays, totally voluntary, to those who want to perform well during these test.

I hope to hear from you and what you think,

Best regards,

Your friend
