Letter of Correspondence

Date: November 12, 2026
From: Elena Rostova, Coordinator of the Intercultural Exchange Program, Center for Language Studies
To: Dr. Julian Mercer, Director of the Municipal Library

Dear Dr. Mercer,

I am writing to confirm the arrangements for the upcoming Ibero-American Literature Week, which our Center is co-hosting with the Municipal Library. As discussed in our meeting last Tuesday, the Center will cover the speaker fees and travel expenses for the three visiting authors from Spain, Colombia, and Mexico. We request that the library provide the main auditorium for the evening lectures (6:00 PM to 8:00 PM) from December 5 to December 9, 2026. Additionally, we would appreciate it if your staff could manage the attendee registration database and set up the reception area with refreshments each evening. The Center will deliver the promotional flyers and bilingual brochures to the library's reception desk by November 20, 2026, so they can be distributed to patrons in advance. Please let us know if these terms are acceptable by the end of this week.

Sincerely,
Elena Rostova

The sender requests the main auditorium for evening lectures, database management for registration, and reception setup with refreshments.
This locates the specific textual details indicating the library's duties.
