参考范文：
Dear Alice，
I’m glad to receive your email and thank you for your trusting me.
As we know, stage fright is a common phenomenon. Many people, even the most confident performers can suffer from stage fright. So don’t worry — you can overcome it by relaxing your body and mind. Here I give you a few tips.
Firstly, arrive early. Showing up early can calm yourself down and make you feel more at ease. Secondly, talk to members of the audience. It will make you see that the audience are ordinary and friendly people and you’ll get more comfortable. Last but not least, slow down. Most public speakers may be speaking fast because they’re nervous and want to finish the speech or presentation sooner, but this will actually make it harder.
I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you. I believe you can make it.
Yours，
Li Hua
