- Dear Mr. Naeem,
Our Collection Department has informed me of their intention to file suit as you have failed to answer any of our requests for payment of Rs.5000/-, which is now 4 months overdue.
Before taking this action, however, I would like to make a personal appeal to your sound business judgment. I feel certain that, if you telephone me, we can devise some means to settle this matter out of court.
Therefore, I ask that you get in touch with me by the 25th of this month so that I may avoid taking steps which neither of us would like.
Truly yours,

Do you think Marketing is a piece of cake? Do you need magic to solve your marketing problems?
Yes! We got the solution! We are enclosing a specimen of the book “PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING BY IHSAN ULLAH IHSAN”. This book is a comprehensive guideline for preliminary learners, and it covers all the major areas of marketing.
The most important feature of this book is that it’s a project-based approach. Whatever is discussed theoretically is practically explained. I hope your students will appreciate it.
When this book is used by a competent and experienced teacher like you, the students will get gratifying results in their final examination.
Just give it a trial and see the miracle.
For further correspondence, complete detail is given on the book sent to you. Looking forward for your kind consideration and suggestions, if you have any.
Yours faithfully,

- Dear Mr. Ahmad,
We are a newly established appliance repair business interested in acquiring a business credit card. Small shop owners in the area have informed us that business credit cards are a convenient, organized, and efficient way of handling small day-to-day expenses, such as office supplies or lunches.
Please send us more information concerning the terms of your business credit cards. Particularly, we are interested in interest rates, annual fees, and the process of obtaining a card, remittance requirements, and security measures available. Any additional information would also be appreciated.
Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,

- Dear Mr. Hassan,
You are right to expect high-quality merchandise from ‘The Automatic Door Company’. We try to give you the best for your money and to stand behind our products when they fail as a result of defects in material and workmanship, as our warranty states.
We appreciate your sending the door opener to us for analysis. It appears that the opener has got wet. Excess of moisture over a period of time causes this defect.
Our service manager estimates that cleaning and repairing your door opener would cost Rs. 2500. Since your door opener is several years old, you may want to consider buying a new one. We have made many improvements to our door openers since yours was manufactured, including a sealed circuit board that would prevent the possibility of damage from moisture. A new door opener, which costs Rs. 3500.00 postpaid, should give you an even longer service than your old one did.
Please let us know whether you want us to repair or replace your door opener.
Yours sincerely,
