TO: info@conservationexpeditions FROM: Caroline Reyna SUBJECT: Coastal Rainforest and Wildlife Expedition
I recently saw your advertisement about to join a conservation expedition to a remote region of Costa Rica, and i am very interested in taking part in the proyect.
Although i have two queries that i would like you to respond: Firstly, which animals will be researching.Secondly,could you tell me where and when will be given the introductory course? Because as i am a srudent, i have to organise my schedule school in ordet not to interfer with the training.
In spite of i don´t count with an excellent knowledge of Spanish, i have relatives that live in Mexico City and i have learned the languaje little by little, so i know the basic and i can go with them in order to involve myself more with the idiom.
In addition, you mentioned that every member has to be physically fit and a strong swimmer, i mean, i do exercise and i swim very good but i don´t consider myself particularly athletic. That would be an impediment to take part in the expedition?
I would be grateful if i had a prompt reply to this email from you before the weekend, as i can analise it and make a decision.

Subject: COASTAL RAINFOREST AND WILDLIFE EXPEDIATION
I recently saw your advertisement requesting volunteers for the Coastal rainforest and wildlife, and I should very much like to part in the expedition.
Although you say that it isn´t necessary previous experience, but I have some queries about expedition. Firstly, I would like to know what kind of animals are we going to investigate?, Addition could you give me more details about physical characteristics that the members should to have? Despite I am physically fit given I do exercise, I would not consider myself particularly athletic and less in a matter of swimming, and therefore I would like to clarify this queries.
Likewise it wasn´t clear exactly the level of knowledge of Spanish necessary, or if will it be given on the two-week introductory course?
I would be grateful if you could address these queries before the month.

See u tomorrow
E- MAIL
TO: info@conservationexpeditions
FROM: Caroline Reyna
SUBJECT: Coastal Rainforest and Wildlife Expedition
I recently saw your advertisement about to join a conservation expedition to a remote region of Costa Rica, and i am very interested in taking part in the proyect.
Although i have two queries that i would like you to respond: Firstly, which animals will be researching.Secondly,could you tell me where and when will be given the introductory course? Because as i am a srudent, i have to organise my schedule school in ordet not to interfer with the training.
In spite of i don´t count with an excellent knowledge of Spanish, i have relatives that live in Mexico City and i have learned the languaje little by little, so i know the basic and i can go with them in order to involve myself more with the idiom.
In addition, you mentioned that every member has to be physically fit and a strong swimmer, i mean, i do exercise and i swim very good but i don´t consider myself particularly athletic. That would be an impediment to take part in the expedition?
I would be grateful if i had a prompt reply to this email from you before the weekend, as i can analise it and make a decision.
Thank you.
Caroline Reyna
