Dear Bello,
I was delighted to receive your letter asking about my school, since you are thinking of moving over to join us. I am happy to tell you about the areas in which my school truly excels, so that you can make up your mind.
First and foremost, my school excels in academic performance. Our teachers are dedicated and well qualified, our classes are small, and year after year our students top the state in public examinations. If you value good results, you will not be disappointed here.
Secondly, the school is excellent in sports and games. We have a large field, a standard basketball court and well-organized teams, and we have won several trophies in inter-school competitions. There is a game for everyone, and the students are always full of life.
Thirdly, the school is outstanding in discipline and moral training. The rules are firm but fair, the environment is clean and peaceful, and students are taught good manners and respect. Parents send their children here with confidence.
I am sure that these strengths will convince you. I would be overjoyed to have you as my schoolmate, and I promise to help you settle in quickly. Please write back and let me know your decision.
Your friend,
Musa.
