Dear Mr. Jones,
Stock Control Software System
Thank you for your letter of 1st September and the information you sent
regarding the stock control system offered by your company. I certainly feel
the system will meet our requirements. However, there are some points which
I would like clarified before we go ahead and order the system.
Firstly, although you mentioned that the system has recently been updated, I
wondered whether we might be eligible for a discount on any future upgrades.
Secondly, the installation and implementation period of three weeks, to which
you refer in your letter, seems rather long. Is there any possibility of getting
the system up and running on a shorter timescale?
I would be very grateful for a swift response to these queries, in order that we
can begin the process as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
J. Brown

Hello Mr. Roger Jones:
I got the letter you sent on 1st September, and the stuff about the stock control
system you make. It sounds great for us, but I want to check some things
before we buy it. You said the system is bang up-to-date, but what happens if
you update it again soon? Do we get money off the new one? You said it
takes 3 weeks to install the system – that’s too long! Can’t you do it any
quicker? Hope you can reply soon, we’re in a bit of a hurry.
Thanks,
Janet Brown
