Dear James,
Learning that you intend to come to China for college education next year, I feel very excited. So I’m writing to recommend a suitable university to you.
First, I’d like to extend my sincere welcome to you. Peking University is the top one I want to recommend to you.
With high academic levels and abundant cultural diversity, it appeals to students home and abroad.
To be frank, it’s not easy for you to study for a degree in a different country.
It is suggested that you should equip yourself with some basic Chinese language skills, which makes it easier for you to communicate with Chinese people easily.
Besides, it’s important for you to have a general understanding of Chinese customs, which allows you to adapt to the new environment soon.
I hope my suggestions will be of great help to you. Looking forward to your coming.
