Dear Sir,
I read your ad in the newspaper last Sunday. Now I’m writing to tell your I’d like to become a member of the Birdwatching Club.

I’m also an animal lover, so I love birds and nature very much. Last year I wrote a report on the endangered birds for our school newspaper.
I think it’s very important for me to do something to protect birds.
I will be very happy if I can become a member of your club. You can call me on 010- or e-mail me at
Best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Qiang
