Help translate letter to University

[lake]

Hi guys. I'll be going to Xiamen University in February of next yr. Now, I need to post the questions below to the University's administrator as the instructions sent to us were somehow vague. I would really appreciate it if you can help me translate this letter.

---------

Hello sir. Thank you for the Admission Notice you sent to me last month. I would appreciate it if you can briefly answer the following questions for me:

1. When is a good time to arrive in Xiamen? Your instruction says that I have to be there to register on February 19-20, 2005. Should I arrive before the 19th to fix my residence permit and all that?

2. When does our Mandarin class officially begin?

3. How soon can the dorms be available for us? If I arrive on or before the 19th, would I have to check-in a hotel first or do I go straight to the campus to register, with luggage in tow and all that.

4. Can i pay my tuition using a visa credit card?

5. What other things or papers do I have to bring?

6. Is there an ATM inside the campus? If none, what atm is the nearest or most accessible? What is the name of the bank that owns this atm?

7. Do we have a say in choosing a rommate? If so, I would prefer rooming with someone who cannot speak English and if possible, not a Filipino like me.

Thank you so much. I look forward meeting you and studying in your school.

Kind regards,

Karen

I think don't need to translate it . I suppose they could understand English as university's faculty.

尊敬的先生/女士:

您好!

谢谢您上个月寄给我的入学通知书。我有如下几个问题，请您在百忙中给予回复。

1． 什么时候抵达厦门比较好？您在通知书说我必须在2005年2月19-20日内注册，那么我是否必须在19日之前处理好我的居留证等等？

2． 我们的普通话课从什么时候正式开如？

3． 什么时候学校才能分给我宿舍？假如我在19日前到达学校，我是否可以带着我的行李直接在学校注册或我需要在酒店先预定房间？

4． 我可以用VISA卡付我的学费吗？

5． 校内是否有自动取款机？如果没有，附近的自动取款机是哪家银行？请告之银行的名称。

6． 我是否可以自己选择室友？我想和一个不会说英文的人一起住，最好不是和我一样也是菲律宾人。

望您能尽快回复， 谢谢！

此致

敬礼！

Karen
