Answer

Dear Jimmy：

I’m writing to ask for a favor from you. To help us students gain a glimpse into American culture, the Student Union is organizing an American Culture Festival. We’re now in urgent need of some American popular magazines that can reflect modern American society. So, could you please help select and buy some and send them to us? We will cover all the relevant costs. Also, we would appreciate it if you could see to it that the contents of the magazines are suitable for Chinese middle school students. Thanks a lot!

Please reply at your earliest convenience!

Yours

Li Hua
