Dear Dr Hilary Crystal

I wonder whether you would like to come and lecture to our students again this term? They very much enjoyed your talk on sociolinguistics last year, and several of them have asked for a repeat performance. We shall, of course, pay you normal fee. Perhaps, you would be kind enough to phone me so that we can fix a date.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
