Dear Sir,
We intend to purchase a new office copier. We would like to
consider a BHP copier and wonder if you have a model that
would suit our needs.
Our office is small, and a copier would generally be used
by only three secretaries. We run approximately 3,000
copies a month and prefer a machine that uses regular
paper. We rarely need to run off more than 25 copies at
any one time.
We would also like to know about your warranty and
repair service. We hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Mr. Gul,
In a courier service, I am sending you six copies of our
catalog, Prime Gifts. I am very pleased that you want to
circulate it.
The catalog explains everything but I do want to say that
for quantities of 20 or more gifts we offer an attractive
discount.
Please let me know if I can be of help in other ways.
Yours cordially,

Since your door opener is several years old, you may want
to consider buying a new one. We have made many
improvements to our door openers since yours was
manufactured, including a sealed circuit board that would
prevent the possibility of damage from moisture. A new
door opener, which costs Rs. 3500.00 postpaid, should give
you even longer service than your old one did.
Please let us know whether you want us to repair or
replace your opener.
Yours sincerely,
