Writing exercise

Dear ____,

Greeting from over here in Shanghai! I hope you’ve had a great time in Malaysia, and I’m super excited and looking forward to next month when you both come to Shanghai.

Just quickly, I just wanted to let you know that I received a message from SPACE Cycle regarding potentially helping out with some recruitment, and based on last year’s experience, which caused me to stop working for SPACE Cycle Shanghai anymore, and the fact that I was attempting to work with them this year but never heard back from them, I’m not going to be considering working with them directly.

However, as always I’m keen on getting as many students to your workshop as possible so I’m currently introducing students from my Y-Plus Yoga class to join the workshop. Furthermore, as I mentioned previously, I’d be very interested in joining the class as an assistant if you’re looking for anyone, but if not, I heard that there’s quite a few spaces left so I’d love to join the class as a student too.
