Dear Mr. Patel,
I was surprised to receive your letter inviting me as one of the judges for the painting contest that your company is organizing next month. I do not think highly of my ability as a painter and I feel that I am not worthy to be chosen as a judge of other artists. Nevertheless, I am willing to accept your invitation as you have stated in your letter that you have also chosen me because I am a former member of the company’s Board of Directors.
It is fortunate that I am available on the said date of the contest and I will be able to attend as a judge. I only request that you provide me a document discussing the theme and objectives of the contest, a background about the contestants, and the criteria for judging. I want to be ready for the said contest so please send me my request as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Ganaka Naidu
