Dear Captain Bluebeard,

I am writing in reply to your advertisement which appeared in the 25^th August edition of The Student Weekly. You say that you are organising a sailing expedition in the Mediterranean sea for young people and I would be grateful for more information about the expedition.

First of all, I would like to know whether it is necessary to have previous sailing experience. I would also be grateful if you could tell what kind of boat you intend to sail on. My only sailing experience has been on a yacht.

Secondly, could you tell me what the cost of participating in the expedition is? As it is aimed at students, I hope it will not be too expensive.

Finally, I would be interested in knowing what arrangements have been made with regard to food. I am a vegetarian and I hope that this will not cause any problems.

I would like to thank you in advance for your assistance, and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely,

James Hawkins
