Dear Mr Hopkins,
I’m a student from your English literary class. I’m writing to ask you to do me a favour.
As an amateur poetry writer, I’m planning to participate in the English poetry recitation contest next month. I’ve managed to write a sonnet and it has been my third version as I want to make it as delicate as possible. However, I am not quite sure whether it follows correct formats of rhymes and rhythms. So, I wonder if you could spare your time to make some necessary changes and polish my verses. In addition, I would be grateful jf you could give me some advice on how to recite it.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Dear Tom,
Learning you’re interested in classical Chinese poetry, I’d like to introduce some relevant information.
The earliest classical Chinese poetry began from The Book of Songs, which has delicate words and perfect rhythms. Since then, it has developed quickly and reached its heyday in the Tang Dynasty. Meanwhile, famous poets like Li Bai, Bai Juyi came on stage respectively. Now, they’re still considered the greatest poets in history.
So much for this time. I’ll tell you more next time.
Yours,
Li Hua
