Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this email to thank you for awarding me the first place within your competition. I am humbly grateful to have been given such an opportunity. Let me express my sincerest gratitude for choosing my suggestion as the winner. It is such an extraterrestrial feeling to come to visit the chocolate factory in Switzerland. This is so, as chocolate is my favourite snack and I have never been outside of my country of residence. I have been longing to visit Switzerland, thank you for making my dream come through. I look forward to visiting your factory soon. Additionally, I am seeking clarification and confirmation on two conditions within the prize which was granted.
Firstly, I would like to be given clarification on the date of my departure, what travel arrangements were made for me and the accommodations of my tenor in Switzerland. Finally, it was made mention that I have the opportunity to bring a friend along with me. Could you please confirm if both travelling and accommodations would be free of charge for my friend also. I look forward to receiving a favourable response in a timely manner. Thank you in advance.
Yours respectfully.
Here are a few pointers; hope this is useful)
Ovation-by definition- is show of appreciation from an audience, for a person's accomplishments or flaw.
"Everyone deserves a standing ovation because we all overcometh the world."
A person's accomplishment could be how they made a positive change in this world, strong leadership- that makes them a effective leader or simply helping others. A person's flaw- mistakes in life, sin or even guilt should also be considered an appreciation- an ovation for representing mankind's flaw and that humanity makes mistakes, fulfilling at least one deadly sin such as greed, lust, selfishness etc.
Thus, regardless of a person's achievement or flaw- a person deserves an applause for, not the least, living in this society and this world that we are all living together and dying together.
That was just the introduction.. the best part is yet to come.. now it's your turn!!
Here are other pointers to talk about in your essay:
Shakespeare's famous line "All the World's a stage. That agrees with your line: "Everybody deserves a standing ovation..."
Shakespeare explains that men and women are like players: they live, and die, some being celebrated and some forever living in solitude till their death. Shakespeare states the world is a "stage" which symbolizes that mankind is in its peak. The world is changing everyday: little by little and humanity is falling behind.
Due to our world turning into machinery: factories, an automotive future: where humans only job to live (entrance) and to die (exit) the famous humans remembered and the flawed not recalled.
This is according to Shakespeare's imagery.
I don't know what grade your in, but I think simplifying Shakespeare's word of mouth in your essay would be handy and useful as it has strong references of your quote, and agrees strongly in your essay.
Hope this helps :)
<span>1692, the Massachusetts Bay Colony executed fourteen women, five men, and two dogs for witchcraft. The sorcery materialized in January. The first hanging took place in June, the last in September; a stark, stunned silence followed. Although we will never know the exact number of those formally charged with having “wickedly, maliciously, and feloniously” engaged in sorcery, somewhere between a hundred and forty-four and a hundred and eighty-five witches and wizards were named in twenty-five villages and towns. The youngest was five; the eldest nearly eighty. Husbands implicated wives; nephews their aunts; daughters their mothers; siblings each other. One minister discovered that he was related to no fewer than twenty witches.</span>
