6. Dear Jason,
I am writing regarding the consignment of tables we received to the above order yesterday. There seems to be a mistake in the order as we ordered light pine-finished tables not the heavy mahogany-finished units that were delivered. As I have firm orders for the tables I asked for, I would be grateful if you could send my consignment as soon as possible, and collect the wrongly delivered goods. Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards, Jane Lopez |

It was very enjoyable to speak with you about the assistant account executive position at the Smith Agency. The job, as you presented it, seems to be a very good match for my skills and interests. The creative approach to account management that you described confirmed my desire to work with you. In addition to my enthusiasm, I will bring to the position strong writing skills, assertiveness and the ability to encourage others to work cooperatively with the department.
