Professional footballers earn too much money. What do you think?

Daily Mirror has recently announced that Manchester City could offer Cristiano Ronaldo more than 200.000.000 € to sign him up in their team. What could be done with this amount of money? It is obvious that too many charitable things such as donating money to non-governmental organizations, buying clothes, food and medicines for the Third World…

I consider a big lack of respect that, with the existing hunger and sick people around the world, somebody can accept to earn this huge amount of money for just playing football. Most of them haven’t work hard in their lives. They have only received the gift of having good skills playing soccer, and it is not fair that, for example, a student with a degree in the university had been studying for at least 17 years, working hard and with a lot of effort and sacrifice to earn only the money enough to survive. I find it extremely unfair.

However, I have to admit that between these players, there are some humble ones who do donate money to good proposals. An example is Iker Casillas who every year collaborates with an organization which fights against malaria. We don’t have to confuse these ones with others who only appear in these charities acts to advertise themselves and give a fake image about them. They should learn from humble football players and submit to this world some kind of humility, something unusual around the World.

Hi,

I’m addressing you because I’ve been given a brochure in the Underground about the concert that takes place the day after tomorrow in the Fairfield festival, Manchester. However, before booking, I wanted to ask you some questions.

Firstly, we are planning to attend 5 students, so could you tell me the total price for weekend tickets including booking fees and students discount? Furthermore, I wanted to ask you if there are some other offers for us.

In second place, we are interested in the camping you offer. However, we are only planning to stay one night on Saturday; does it have the same cost as if we stay both nights? Moreover, could you let me know if, between the camping facilities, there are either toilets or shower rooms?

And last but not least, taking into account that the concert begins next Saturday and only two days remaining, post won’t be able to get Spain. Are we able to pick the tickets up in the Festival ticket office, if anyone? If not, could you tell me where we could get them?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Daniel

Hello,

I’m writing to you because I’ve read the flyer about the concert hold at the Fairfield Festival. Some friends and I might be interested in coming, however we would like to ask some questions about the conditions.

First of all, we wondered what the total prize of five tickets including fees and student discounts would be. About the camping, we were asking ourselves whether it included facilities such as toilets and shower rooms, and if the £10 price covered one night or the whole weekend. Finally, as we are aware that it is a last-minute decision and there are only two days left for the concert, we wondered if we could collect the tickets somewhere in order to have them on time.

I would be very thankful if you could answer me as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Aloma.

Last-minute email

Hello,

I've saw your flyer about the concert for this saturday and the prices with the acommodation there. I've to say that with that information, I still have some gaps in my mind, so I hope you can answer me some questions.

Firstly, I'm interested on the ticket prices. We are five people, all of us are students, and we have a discount on that price. Could you tell me how much costs in total the tickets with their discount, as the panphlet says? If it's possible I would like to know how much are the booking fees.

I also want to know the price of just one night for staying on the camping and If with that price we can use all the facilities that you have, If there are.
Another doubt that I have is if there are showers and toilets, and whether there are, If they are public.

As we have only two days to go and that's not time enough for having the tickets, it's possible that you send me the tickets or there's any place where we can collect them here in Barcelona?

Regards.

Hello,

I have just made a last-minute decision to go to the concert with some friends of mine. It looks really good but I don't see some things very clear. It would be great if you could clarify them for me.

For example, could you tell me how much cost five tickets for students, which have discount? You did mention that there was discount for students as we are but I can't find the final price anywhere. It would be great if you tell me a price.

I have another questions about the camping. It is written in the pamphlet: camping available 10 pounds per head; but is this only for one night? And could you let me know if there are some toilets and showers room out there? I would like to know some other facilities that are available at the camping too.

All my friends and I live far from the city where is taking place the concert so we don't have enough time to take the tickets there. Is there any other way to take the tickets? Could you tell me other ways to get the tickets, like ServiCaixa?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Hendrik Johannes

Hello,

I'm writing to you because I have just seen your fairfield's advertisment and I'm interested in going to the rock concerts on the 7th and 8th of July. I have a few questiones about a couple of things before I decide to book the tickets.

Firstly, it would be great if you could tell me how much it would cost for 5 students to atend the concert including the booking fees. I would also like to know how much VIP tickets would cost and to whom are they available to.

Secondly, could you tell me how much it is to stay only the saturday night at the campsite. I was also wondering if there are any special facilities at the site, such as showers or toilets.

Finally, I would like to know if instead of recieving the tickets by post there is another possible way to get them. As there are only two days left till the concert there isn't enough time to post them to me, so maybe via internet would be the most suitable way.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,
