6.5. Practice

Here is a formal business letter. Rewrite it so that it sounds more friendly and informal.

Cornfield Pesticides Co Ltd

Dear Mr. Scott

I am writing in connection with your letter of 16 January, in which you enquired about our KILL’EM fly spray.

Unfortunately, we have stopped producing this fly spray due to the fact that sales were rather disappointing. However, we are able to supply you with a maximum of 20 boxes from our stocks. If you would like to order these, please could you inform us as soon as possible.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely

G Wollen

6.6. Letter practice

Last week, you met a business friend who you had not seen for years. You talked for a long time about a new bakery that he has started. Your friend invited you to the opening of his bakery next month. Unfortunately, you have just discovered that you have an important meeting on that day. You will telephone him after the opening and arrange a visit. Write and tell him this.

6B Activity section: a credit check

1. Wainman Ltd is a small printing business. Recently, some of their biggest customers went into liquidation and Wainman Ltd did not receive any money. This means that they cannot buy paper to continue printing. Harold Wainman, one of the owners, decided to see if he could buy some paper on credit from Peter Robinson, who works at Northern Paperworks. This is the letter he wrote.

Does Harold Wainman know Peter Robinson? How do you know?

Wainman (Printers) Ltd

Dear Peter

I was wondering if you could help us. We need a rather large amount of paper so that we can continue printing. Since we won’t receive any money until our customers have paid us, would it be possible for you to let us have some paper on credit?

If you need a credit reference for your files, you could write to Pelican Paper Ltd, College Court, College Road, London.

I hope that you are keeping well. Please say hello to David for me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Harold
