Dear Jane,

I have had a professional relationship with Joey Barman for the past 3 years. We have worked in many capacities together, including, but not limited to: shop forman, scheduling manager and chief supervisor.

For the whole time that Joey and I have worked together, he has demonstrated incredible leadership quality, always showed respect for his employees, was never late for work, or presented a bad attitude.

I think that Joey would be an excellent candidate for whatever job you have in mind.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 564-342-3422.

Sincerely,

Johnny Clayman

Dear Royal bank,

I am writing this letter to explain the current circumstances surrounding my non completion of the last three credit card payments.

On December 25th, my brother’s house caught on fire. Due to his dire circumstances, I had no choice but to lend him a sum of money to get back on his feet until the insurance company made a payment to him. Due to this, I did not have the available funds to make my credit card payment.

As you can see from my payment history, I have never missed a payment. My brother will be paying me back in three weeks, and I will be able to make up the difference then.

Thanks for your consideration,

Clark Baker

Dear Mr. Brewer,
It has recently come to my attention that Jacqueline K. Cornett will be vacating her current position at the end of the month. While it is sad to see her go, I am interested in filling the post he occupied.
 

I have been working for Brewer Retail for quite a while now, and I feel that I would be a perfect fit to move into his job and take over his responsibilities.

I know there must be many other people in this office that are inquiring about this position, but I truly feel that I am more qualified than any of them are.

When the time to choose his successor comes, would you please keep me in mind? There is nothing I would love more than progress further up the ladder at B Brewer Retail.

Thankfully,
Lincoln A. Alldredge

Dear Glen,

I am writing this letter to explain why I was absent from work on July 14th, 2009.

I came down with the flu the night before, and when I awoke in the morning to go to work, I felt it would be best for me to stay home and try to fight this sickness. I thought it would be a bad idea to attend work and risk my fellow employees getting sick and not being able to come to work.

I am willing to make up for lost time this upcoming weekend if it is required of me. I am available all day from 8am to 9pm.

Please contact me if you need any more information or if you would like to speak to me about this issue.

Sincerely,

Steven O’Gardy

Dear Helen:

I’m the author of Last Minute Meetings, a book I hope you’ll consider for possible inclusion in your catalog and offerings. Last Minute Meetings provides numerous up-to-date resources and ideas to help plan a meeting — quickly, if need be, and on budget.

This book would be an excellent fit with your current offerings. For people new to the industry, it explains in simple language the details involved in planning a successful event — giving lots of real-life examples and forms. Industry veterans can use the book as a resource guide to find vendors as well as definitive “best sources”.

I have enclosed a review copy. Last Minute Meetings is published by Career Press (Franklin Lakes, NJ; December 2000) and retails for $11.99. I’ve included a few recent book reviews as well as a brief bio.

I look forward to the possibility of working together to bring this book into your offering.

Regards.

Dear Mr. Morgan

I am writing to you with a new business idea I have been developing over the past few years. After much planning and research, the time has finally come to bring it to market.

I have attached a detailed fact sheet with all the relevant information you will need.

I am looking for an investment from you for about $100,000. This number is negotiable, but I think that amount would allow us to get started on the right foot.

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact me at 435-231-4231

All the best,

Coretta R. Birmingham

Dear Roger:

I attended “Cold-Calling for the Non-Salesperson” last night and thoroughly enjoyed the session. However, I did want to bring something to your attention. The session’s description (copy attached) listed Stephen Carter — a well-known guru and the reason I registered for the session — as the seminar presenter. In reality, Stephen gave a half-hour presentation and then turned the program over to his colleague, Michael Snyder.

Michael was terrific. I was engaged, I took copious notes, I walked away satisfied with the content. But I felt I was misled by the description in your catalog. I’m taking Carol Connor’s “Clutter-Free Basement” session on October 10 and since she’s also a guru, I’m leery of the possibility of having the same experience I did last night.

Again, “Cold-Calling” was a great session and I understand that it’s difficult to monitor every course, so I did want to let you know about my experience.
Sincerely,
Fern Dickey
