Letter For Asking Advice

Dear  Fakha Kumala

Sory i haven’t written to you for so long. I have been very busy over the last year.

I would like to study about computer system in central Java and i hope you can give me some advice. I would prefer a college in Jogja. I visited Jogja last year and immediately fall in love with its culture. Since you have been living there for well over three years, i am quite sure that you will able to assist me in finding a good institution.

This year i am doing math and physics and i hope to do well in my exams. However, i don’t know which university to apply to. Could you send me information about different collages in Jogja? Also can you find out what qualifications i need, please?

I hope you wouldn’t mind doing this for me. Although i can search online for collage in Jogja, i think getting this information from someone who has been living in Jogja is much better.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks

Ratih Nurandika
