A Modal answer with band 8

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request for issuing a duplicate certificate of the intensive English Speaking Course which I have recently completed from your institution, Modern College.

Although I had received the course completion certificate immediately after finishing the course, I have unfortunately lost it. When I returned back to my country, my suitcases were misplaced at the airport carousel, and I received only after a week from the lost and found department. However, there were many items missing from my luggage, and also the envelope containing all my educational documents including the certificate received from your college.

Because my company was afforded me to complete this course, they would compensate for the fees and other expenses only after furnishing the course certificate. Additionally, this certificate is also very crucial for me in order to show my English proficiency to the client of our company which essential for my designation.

As you might understand the necessity of it for me, I would like you to issue a duplicate certificate. It would be great if you could send a scanned copy of it on my registered email address. I would appreciate it if you would send me a physical copy at my office address as I provided during registration because sometimes I need to show for verification.

I look forward to receiving the required documents.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Brown
