Hi Tom,
How is it going? I am writing this email to share unpleasant news with you. Do you know
the famous travel writer Mr. David Price who wrote the famous book Around the world in Eighty
days? Unfortunately, he will not be able to attend next club meeting.  Because I really want to meet

Dear Mr. Alex,
I am Summer - one member of your travel club. I am writing this email to express my feelings
about the recent change of the meeting with Mr. David Price. 
Honestly, I am really sad and disappointed to hear the news that he will not be able to attend next
club meeting. Although Mr. Price will not be there to sign copies of his new book Around the
World in Eighty Ways, members of the club will buy a copy at the price of twenty-five pounds!
Because I want to meet him and also prepared several questions to ask him, I think buying a copy at
the price of twenty-five pounds without Mr.David Price’s presence is pretty high. 
That’s why I would like to ask you whether the book price can be reduced or not. And I believe that
a lot of members has the same question as me.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon if my request is acceptable.
Yours sincerely,
Summer

Hi Mr. Andrew,
I am Summer - one member of your book club. I’m writing this email to express my feelings
about the recent change of the next month membership fees.
According to the news, it will go up by 20%. Also, there is a starting renovation of the club meeting
room and during the next month, club meetings will be held in the back room of the bookshop every
Monday from 18.00 to 20.00 without asking opinion from us. To be honest, I feel disappointed
about the way you manage and a bit shocked to hear the price. As a student like most members in
our book club, we do not have much money to pay for that.
I think you should consider raising membership fees only by 5% (not 20%). One alternative is to
implement the fee increase after you have completed renovation.
I look forward to hearing from you soon if my recommendation is acceptable. If not, I will
look to another book club for my membership.
Thanks and Best regards,
Summer
