You are hosting a conference and would like an expert you have never met to give a speech at the conference. Write a letter to the expert. In your letter explain the purpose of the conference describe what you would like the expert to talk about provide details about the venue, date and time
Dear Sir or Madam
My name is SABER Youcef and I am writing
this
letter to request your services in giving a speech at a conference.
The main reason for this
event is to address the problems that I constantly notice in my neighbourhood, although
I have written many complaints to our local council, there was no efficient response unfortunately.
There are several points you should discuss, first of all, the poor quality of our roads, and the immediate need to repair them. Secondly
, regarding the lack of public transport, you should demand our officials to consider installing bus lanes. Lastly
, you should emphasise the lack of playgrounds for kids.
the conference will be held in City Hall, on November 14th, at 12h00, and it is expected that over 200 people will attend this
event. Transport is included, therefore
, I will get you to the place on time.
Please give this
matter your immediate attention
Yours faithfully

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
