Dear ______
안녕하세요?
I located your organization in a news article showing you as one of the most reliable travel companies in your country.
저는 한 뉴스기사에서 당신의 기관이
당신 나라에서 가장 믿을수 있는 관광 회사라고 소개한 내용을 보았습니다.
-----------------↑ 외국기관(단체) 를 발견하게 된 경로 -------------------
Let me introduce myself to you. I am a member of VANK (Voluntary Agency Network of Korea) from Korea.
우선 저에 대해 소개하겠습니다. 저는 대한민국에서 살고 있고 반크라는 단체의 일원입니다
We are cyber travel guides for foreigners who help them better understand Korean culture, language, life, etc through e-mail or postal mail, and at the same time we are providing overseas travel companies with Korean travel guidebooks by post or internet free of charge.
우리는 전세계 외국인들이 한국의 문화, 언어, 상황을 보다 잘 이해하기 위해 인터넷 펜팔을 통해 사이버 관광가이드 역활을 수행하고 있고, 또 해외 관광 회사를 대상으로 우편이나
인터넷으로 한국 관광책을 무료로 공급하는 일도 하고 있습니다
The travel guidebooks provide a wide range of practical information about traveling in Korea. They also offer great tips on accommodations, shopping, transportation, food, and Korean maps.
이 한국관광 책자는 숙박, 쇼핑, 교통, 음식, 그리고 한국 지도등 한국여행에 있어서 실용적인 정보를 제공하고 있습니다
All of VANK's members, ranging from elementary school first graders to housewives, are participating in voluntary activities that are introducing Korea to foreign nations, and enhancing the image of Korea down the road through pen pals and e-pals.
모든 반크의 구성원들은 초등학생부터 주부까지 자발적으로 한국을 세계에 알리는 일에 참여하고 있고, 펜팔을 통해 한국의 이미지를 개선시키는 활동을 하고 있습니다.
-----------------↑ 단체와 보내는 사람에 대해 소개하는 부분 ---------------
I think VANK is a great opportunity for foreigners who are interested in Korean culture, language, literature, and history - or for those who just want to get information on sightseeing, tours and attractions in Korea.
저는
반크가 한글, 문학작품, 역사, 지리등 한국에 대해 관심이 있는 사람들이나 한국의 관광지와 여행정보를 얻고자 하는 사람들에게 도움을 줄 수 있는
좋은 기회가 될거라고 생각합니다.
If there is anyone interested in Korea in your organization, please recommend us to them. We can be cyber travel guides for them so that they may better understand Korea, and at the same time build lasting international friendships.
만약 당신의 기관에서 한국에 대해 관심이 있는 사람이 있다면 저희 반크를 추천해주세요. 우리는 그들의 사이버 관광가이드가 되어 이메일로 한국의 모든 것을 알려드릴 것이고 진실한 친구 또한 되어 드릴 것을 약속 드립니다.
It would be much appreciated if you would consider visiting and linking VANK’s website (http://www.prkorea.org) with your website for promoting cooperation.
당신이 저희 반크의 홈페이지를 방문한후 귀 귀관과 협력를 위해 홈페이지를 링크 시켜준다면 매우 감사하겠습니다.
In addition, we can provide you with the latest Korean tour & travel information with new photos free of charge. If you are interested in receiving the latest Korean tour information, please contact us.
그리고
우리는 새로운 사진이 담긴 최신 한국 관광여행 자료를
무료로 보내드릴 수 있습니다.
혹시 새로운 한국관광
자료를 받으시는데 관심이 있으면 반크에게 연락주세요.
-----------------↑ 친선 서한을 보낸 목적을 정확히 밝히는 부분 -------------
For your reference, tour2korea.com, the official website of the Korea Tourism Organization, has introduced VANK activities.
참고로 한국에서 가장 믿을수 있는 관광 사이트중 하나인 한국관광공사 웹사이트에서도 저희 반크의 활동이 소개되어 있습니다
-----------------↑ 단체의 공신력을 증명할수 있는 추천기관을 언급하는 부분 --
I thank you in advance for your kind consideration and cooperation.
앞으로 많은 관심을 갖고 서로 협조해 나갈 수 있었으면 합니다
Very truly yours,
VANK (Voluntary Agency Network of Korea)

VANK stands for ‘Voluntary Agency Network of Korea’, a civilian international exchange association in Korea. We work promoting Korea's image all over the world by Internet. VANK was established in 1999 by volunteers, and now has over 15,000 members. Using e-mail or internet we serve as cyber travel guides to overseas Koreans and foreigners so that they can understand Korean culture and language better, and at the same time we hope we are building international friendships. VANK is a great chance for those who are interested in Korean language, arts, cultural education, history, geography, social studies, and sciences to learn about our country. We also welcome with open arms anyone just wanting to make Korean friends!

“In the late 1990s the Voluntary Agency Network of Korea (VANK) began an aggressive letter and email writing campaign, all in an effort to get the world, especially map makers, travel guides and geography web sites to include the East Sea, whenever the long-established Sea of Japan was found in print.
At worldatlas.com we play no favorites, nor do we claim to know all of the answers, so until the two countries can reach a unified decision, we will continue to show both names on our maps. We simply ask both sides for their understanding.” - worldatlas.com

branches." - [Matthew] -
