A Modal answer with band 8

Dear Ms Brown,

I am writing to inform you that I will be unable to continue with the part-time computer programming course.

I have been attending your evening classes for the last months, and I have enjoyed them immensely. As I stated on my course application form, I work full-time for a large IT company, and until now I have managed to fit the programming course into my schedule.

However, my company is currently on the verge of signing a contract with an important client in China, and I am part of the team that is being sent to Beijing to negotiate terms and conditions. I will probably be out of the country for several weeks.

I am aware that you run the same course twice a year. Rather than try to catch up when I return from China, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to join the cohort in September.

I look forward to receiving your response.

Yours sincerely,

Albert Philip
