Dear Deepak, Hope this letter finds you well. I have a good news to share. I have cleared my GMAT exam and actively applying to multiple universities, for higher studies. Since you have been in US for last few years, I wanted your guidance to choose a better university between Kellogs and Brown. I'm interested in pursuing MS (Master of Science) but one of the key deciding criterion is scholarships. Do you have any idea which college will be able to provide better scholarship options? Also, do you feel that specialisation in Digital Transformation would make more sense or should I opt for Artificial Intelligence seeing the current market scenario? In addition, it would be great help if you could guide me to the right resources to figure out an accomodation during enrollment and first few weeks of admission. In all probability, my mother and father will be accompanying me during this time. I wanted to come couple of weeks early to ensure that I'm aware of surrounding area and few spots for grocery shopping and food before the session starts. Looking forward to hearing from you soon and seek your guidance. Accomodation can wait but your opinion on the courses and university is highly anticipated. Yours Sincerely, Vibhor

Dear Kailash, I hope you and your family are doing well. I am writing to get your suggestion on my plan to do master's in Canada. Regarding which I have few things to be clarified before I get enrolled for the Diploma Course. Actually, I am much keen about pursuing Artificial Intelligence course in Convert University because the course content and the scholarship provided by the Institution were very interesting. However, I would like to know your thoughts on the course which I have opted for including the college which I have chosen. Eventually, you would be knowing more about the study culture and the college circumstances better, as you lived in Canada for some years. Consequently, it would be kind of you to help me by finding a well furnished service apartment for accomodation. Moreover, it would be sufficient if the travel distance is within 5 KM from College premises. Looking forward for your reply and support. Warm regards, Monica Kailash

I am writing this letter to take your opinion which University will be more suitable to pursue masters in health economics. To give you overview about my profile, I have 3 years of experience in public health mainly in epidemiology. Now, I am interested to learn more of its implications in health economics but I am not clear which university and course will commensurate with my requirements. If you could help me decide a good university like London school of hygiene where one year courses such as Master in public health and Master of science in health economics are offered.
