Dear Mr Blackwell,

I am writing to you regarding the volunteer programme at the Prambanan Temple Compound in Indonesia. I am interested in becoming a volunteer and would like to have some information about the programme.

Firstly, do you know what kind of training volunteers get? I have never worked at a heritage site before and I am a bit nervous about what I should do.

Secondly, could you tell me more about the accommodation with the families? Do volunteers have roommates? I also want to know how far the accommodation is from the site.

Finally, I want to find out more about the participation fee. Can you let me know if there are any other costs during the programme? I need to know the total cost for the trip.

I look forward to your reply and learning more about the programme. It sounds like an excellent volunteering experience. Thank you in advance for the information.

Kind regards,
