Sample email.

Dear Ann,
I am writing to ask for some information and advice on higher education in your country.
I am going to finish secondary school this summer and I have been thinking about pursuing higher education in the UK. Here are the points that I want to consult you about.
Firstly, how can I deal with culture shock when I first come to your country? Are there any activities I can take part in to get involved in the community and get more knowledge about your culture? How can I balance my life in a new culture and what should I learn to adapt to it? Although I have spent a lot of time reading books, magazines, news to get more understanding about your culture, I am not still confident enough to overcome the cultural shock.
Secondly, can international students take a part-time job? I know some countries do not allow international students to get part-time jobs. Because I just have a limited budget, I want to get a part-time job to earn some money. Moreover, I think it is a great way to integrate myself into a new society.
I wish you and your family the best. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Lan
