Dear Sir or Madam

I am a student at Manchester University and I recently saw an advertisement for
your course on improving memory. I am a mature student as I began working when
I finished high school, then married and looked after three children. Having
returned to studying after a break of ten years, I am finding it quite difficult to
remember important facts from my course. I find that I have to concentrate very
hard to memorize even small amounts of information. I have tried using acronyms
to remember the important facts, but I still find it rather difficult. I have heard
about visualization and association techniques, but I am not sure how to use these
effectively and I would be very interested in learning other strategies.
I would be grateful if you could give me more detailed information about the
methods that you use on the course as well as the cost and dates of your courses.
As I am a full-time mother and a part-time student I do not have a great deal of free
time, so I hope you can offer flexible hours.
I think I could benefit a great deal from your course and look forward to your
reply.
Yours faithfully
