Dear Mr. Clark,

Thank you for your offer of 3^rd March.

We are favourably impressed by the quality of your commodity, but feel that the price is rather high. The prices quoted by other suppliers are, on the average, 10% lower. However, in view of the high quality of your commodity, we are ready to make a deal with you if you re-examine your prices. If you reduce your price by 5% we will place an order for some 10.000 items. We trust that in view of the size of the order you will see your way of making this concession.

Your early reply will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Parson

Sales Manager

To Whom It May Concern:

I highly recommend Jane Doe as a candidate for employment. Jane was employed by Company Name as an Administrative Assistant from 2012 – 2015. Jane was responsible for office support including word processing, scheduling appointments and creating brochures, newsletters, and other office literature.

Jane has excellent communication skills. In addition, she is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Jane can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She is flexible and willing to work on any project that is assigned to her. Jane was quick to volunteer to assist in other areas of company operations, as well.

Jane would be a tremendous asset for your company and has my highest recommendation. If you have any further questions with regard to her background or qualifications, please do not hesitate to call me.

Sincerely,

John Smith

Letter 5

Dear Mr. Chandler,

Sir, I would like to send to you my sincere apology for losing our bid against the other company in line with our services offered. I know how much you want this project and I gave my best shot to win the bid unfortunately it was not enough.

I really feel that the failure of our bid is attributable to me and that the only time to feel good again is to ask for an apology. During the bidding process I thought we are going to win it and I took my time not knowing that our rival company had prepared something during the lunch time. I feel that it’s my fault why we lost our bid to this big project.

I do hope that you would accept my apology and I promise not to take things for granted again and instead give the entire best to win all our biddings for more projects.

Yours faithfully,

K.Miller
