Dear Mr. Auger:

Thank you for taking the time to write us as you did on October 1. We know it must have been a disappointment to have received the box of chocolate in damaged condition. Our guess is that the damage occurred in transit. You do not need to do anything about the parcel post claim; we will take care of that here.

 

We mailed a new five-pound box to you today and trust that this one will arrive safely. We are proud of Sweet Savage Chocolate's candies and want our customers to be completely satisfied. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

 

Enjoy!

 

Sincerely,

Lotta Kallories

Re: delivery VAN No C1 22

 

Dear Sirs,

 

We took delivery of this vehicle yesterday and on closer examination our driver has reported a leak of hydraulic fluid and a deflated spare tyre. I take a poor view of this situation as you customarily assure us that you give your vehicles a rigorous predelivery check.

 

Could you rectify these matters before the weekend as the vehicle is urgently required for delivery work?

 

Yours faithfully,

A. Burke

Dear Mr. Sukarman,

 

When your secretary called this morning to tell me that you would not be able to keep our appointment due to a sudden illness, I was deeply concerned.

 

I sincerely trust the medical attention you have received is one hundred per cent successful, that your progress continues to your benefit and to the satisfaction of your medical advisers, and that your stay is as comfortable as possible in a pleasant environment.

 

The few small business matters which we were going to discuss can quite easily wait until you are back in your usual robust health, and at your desk again.

In the meantime, please accept my very best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.

Arthur R. Thompson, Branch Manager
