Dear Mr./Ms______

I’m writing this letter with the intent of applying for the membership of your group, which I admire greatly. I’ve been a student of philosophy for the past four years and I believe your group will be the ideal place for me to join.

I am a regular subscriber to Philosophy Today and I’m also fan of Michel Onfray, who your club is also known to admire. I’ve read extensively on his work. I’m also good at organizing and am therefore capable of handling workshops and parties.

I therefore request you to kindly consider my application for membership. I would appreciate it a lot if I was granted membership.
