When writing a letter to a work experience placement can you ask a question?

May 282010

I am writing a letter to confirm a work placement, however i need to change my work times as i have an exam that i cannot miss. Can i ask a question within my letter asking if i can start my placement the following day? I am asking as i have been told that i cannot ask a question when writing a letter. Thank you :)

    hi, i am aso applying for my work experiene around this time and i honestly think that you should wait and see if you get the job before your exams so then yu can tell them after and they cannot say no. at the moment everyone is wanting work experience so if i was you id grab mine quick and then tell them.

    hope i helped!!

    Really with letters you don’t ask questions so much as telling them what’s going on. You could say something like "I have recently discovered I have an exam on the day I was due to start, I hope it would not be too much inconvenience to see you on Tuesday 3rd May (example) instead."
