Fan letter

You recently went to a concert and thought one of the singers was very good. You want to tell him how you feel.
Write a letter to the singer. In your letter
- say how you feel about his performance
- give details of your musical activities
- explain how you would like him to help you with your musical activities

Dear Jin,

I am a long-time fan of yours, and I had been waiting so long for you to play a concert in Seoul. Finally, I had a chance to see you live in concert in Seoul last Friday, on 12th May.

It was as amazing as I expected it to be, and so much more! I was amazed by your energy, and I was so impressed that you were able to pull off a three-hour show.

I'd like to tell you about an online community that I run. The purpose of the Web site is to introduce musicians and their musical philosophies to music fans. It is one of the largest online communities in Korea, with about 20,000 members. All of the members are interested in your music and songs, and many of the members have already been to one of your concerts. The latest song you released, “Bluebird”, has created quite a controversy because of its unique lyrics and melody. All of the interpretations provided by members are different, and some require profound answers. I feel I always lack knowledge when it comes to lyrics and music, especially in the case of heavy metal.

If it is possible, I would like to ask you some questions about the music. Could you please run through the questions for me and the members? The members and I would have a more comprehensive understanding of your music if you can clear up these issues. Please find the questions attached.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Suyoung

I was overwhelmed by your great performance.
The movie was much better than expected.

If it is possible, I would like to invite you to join us on the trip.
I was wondering if you could write a recommendation letter.
I am writing in the hope that you can help me obtain some information.

Many thanks to your kindness.
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your advice.
If it had not been for your timely assistance, the consequences might have been much more serious.

Dear Mr. Tremain, 

I saw your concert recently at Manchester Hall on 12th May and I thought your performance was very touching and excellent. I felt deeply connected with the lyrics in your songs.

I am studying music at Oxford University and our school is having a musical performance next week. The play relates well to your latest song and I would be very grateful if you can help with me musical activities by providing more detailed insight into your lyric. Also, could you give us some tips about performing as this is our first performance? By giving an insight into your lyric our drama and musical team would obtain a deeper connection to the song, which is what we really needed. I hope I am not asking for too much. My team really looks up to you and it would mean the world if you write back.

Thank you for reading this letter and I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Suyoung
