Jack: Because when things are discussed in writing there is ample of time to think before we put the thoughts into words. Besides in such a way you would be able to review your every opinion and won't make any slip. The other person will also be comfortable with this because he can easily make up his mind before asking any further question. I hope you get he point now.

Hi Yizhivika,

admission can be of many kinds such as admission to a university, college, flying school etc. So, shouldn't the be used in front of admission? Perhaps, it shouldn't be because Jack would know what admission Jane was talking about, otherwise he would have asked ''What admission?''.

Is there really a need to use with? Often it is said I will e-mail you the pictures, I will e-mail you the number.

I meant to say unless you have rehearsed everything beforehand or have written a note. If I'm going to speak at some occasion I can rehearse or memorize my lines or can put them down on the paper.

No, in this phrase you should omit 'the'; 'apply for admission' is a standard English phrase, that can be used in many contexts (as you've noted above), but a native English speaker wouldn't use the definite article here.

Is there really a need to use with? Often it is said I will e-mail you the pictures, I will e-mail you the number.

No, there isn't; it's optional. For me, it is simply a matter of personal preference. In fact, here, you could also say "I will email you details of the process", or "I will email you with details of the process".

I meant to say unless you have rehearsed everything beforehand or have written a note. If I'm going to speak at some occasion I can rehearse or memorize my lines or can put them down on the paper.

The phrase "unless you have rehearsed everything beforehand or have written a note." is perfectly good English, although I'd be more likely to say ".....written (some) notes." It's just that it wasn't clear from your original text, what you were meaning to say here. I simply misinterpreted it.:-)
