Dear Oscar,

 

I am honored to receive your invitation asking me to be a speaker on the 5th Public Relations Students Conference at Delaware University on June 1, 2010 at 1:00 pm. I am pleased to inform you that I am grateful to accept your invitation to inspire the students about the new trend of public relations.

 

I am at present developing new synergies of public relations. In fact, during the last few months I’ve been in different seminars to uplift my knowledge and techniques regarding the subject matter. This event is a good opportunity to convey my expertise and to share to the students the evolution of public relations.

 

I am planning to use MS PowerPoint in my presentation and I would appreciate it very much if you could provide me with an overhead projector and projection screen. Since I will be speaking to more than 200 students, it would be more comfortable to speak on a podium.

 

Thank you for arranging hotel accommodations for me. I look forward to seeing you at the conference.

 

Sincerely,

 

Th. How
