Letter Writing

A letter of non-routine request. Need your help.


Could you help me edit my non-routine request letter? If you find anything wrong about grammar and vocabulary, please correct them. Thank you very much.


Dear Sir or Madam:

My colleague, Monica Pace, who would attend the annual conference has been assigned to our overseas branch in order to tackle some emergencies. My company informed me about taking over her and presenting in the meeting yesterday.



It might take me a lot of time reviewing the information for the presentation. The meeting will be taken place after one week. I might not have time to arrange my accommodation. I’m writing to ask you a favor. Would it be possible to book a local hotel for me? I am a little bit worried about safety in Philadelphia. I would appreciate it if you or anyone also can meet me at the airport. The flight is EE234 and is scheduled to arrive at 1:00 p.m.



I appreciate your assistance with this request

Hi adonis; here are some suggestions. You need to be short and sharp to the point. There are only 3 points to make: 1) I will be attending in Monica's place.
