A Letter of Inquiry 咨询信

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a Chinese student who wishes to pursue further study at your university. I plan to start my course next semester, and it would be highly appreciated if you would provide me with some essential information.

First, how much are the tuition fees? Though I intend to be self-supporting, I would be interested to know if there are any scholarships available for international students. Second, I wonder what qualifications I need to follow a course at your university, now I have got a master's degree in a Chinese university, is it enough? Third, as regards to accommodations, if possible, I would like to have a single room, but if single rooms are expensive, I would be willing to share.

I am looking forward to your reply, and to attending your esteemed institution.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

亲爱的先生/女士：

我是一个中国学生，我想到贵校继续深造。我打算下学期开始上课，如您能告知我一些基本的信息将感激不尽。

首先，学费是多少？尽管我想自费，但如果有为国际留学生提供的奖学金我也非常感兴趣。第二，我想知道到贵校上学需要什么资格，我现在拿到了中国一所大学的硕士学位，这样可以吗？第三，至于住宿条件，如果可能我想要单人房间，但如果单人房间太贵，我也可以合住。

我期待着您的回复，更希望早日成为贵校的一员。

您诚挚的：李华
