Reply to Inquiry for Holiday Caravans.

 

Dear Sirs,

 

We thank you for your inquiry of 17th December and are sending you our latest catalogue.

The Midland Motors Holiday Caravans combine the greatest comfort and convenience with excellent road-holding and manoeuvring qualities. No wonder they are fabulously popular in Great Britain and on the Continent. A new engine steps up performance considerably: better acceleration, higher cruising speed, better hill climbing.

As you will see from the catalogue, we offer four different models with prices ranging from ₤… to ₤… In order to facilitate the introduction of our caravans, we are prepared to grant you a special discount of 10% on our catalogue prices.

The quotation is without obligation until final confirmation. Our terms of payment are cash against documents. At present our time of delivery is two to three months.

Any orders you entrust to us will receive our most careful attention.

 

Yours faithfully,

Encl.

Dear Sirs,

 

We thank you for your inquiry concerning our 'Europa' Belt Conveyors.

This new range of light portable Conveyors has been specifically designed by G. Hunter (London) Limited to meet the need for a simple and inexpensive Conveyor. Production costs have been kept to a minimum by limiting the range of sizes and by employing a novel, robust type of construction. The result is a Conveyor, called the 'Europa', which can be wheeled out into the yard by one man. The boom of the Conveyor consists basically of a rigid, rectangular, hollow section which also houses the self-lubricating ball bearings, thus achieving simple, strong construction with clean lines. These Conveyors can be used for very steep angles and are highly suitable for loading lorries with, say, parcels up to 50 lbs. The 'Europa' is ideal for Grocers, Warehouses, Distributors and Retailers. It gives you speed, with positive grip, at the very reasonable price of £217.

In addition we are also manufacturing a stationary version of the 'Europa' mounted on adjustable legs, and a 'Low-Loader' model mounted on front and rear castors.

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours faithfully,

G. HUNTER (LONDON) LIMITED,

Dear Sir,

Although you must surely know THE FINANCIAL TIMES, you may not know it as a regular daily reader. Yet it is for European business leaders such as yourself that the regular reading of THE FINANCIAL TIMES can be of most value. It will equip you with the extra knowledge on British and international matters which you require as a supplement to your own national press reading.

The enclosed brochure will give you some idea of the kind of paper we are publishing, but nothing can take the place of handling the paper in your office, or your own home, and judging its usefulness to YOU solely on its merits, over a period. This is what we would like you to do, at our expense, and without the slightest obligation on your part. Please complete the enclosed postcard and return it to us and we will do the rest.

We will be really disappointed if you cannot see your way to cooperate with us by affording us the very real pleasure of sending you a complimentary copy of THE FINANCIAL TIMES for two weeks.

Yours faithfully,

For THE FINANCIAL TIMES,

 

Leonard F. Shapland,

CIRCULATION MANAGER.

 

P. S. There will be others in your office who will benefit - not least in their knowledge of Commercial English usage - by reading our newspaper day by day.

Follow-Up Letter to Prospect.

 

Dear Mr. Cooper:

It is obvious – you are interested in our new Phoenix Charge Posting Cash Register. That’s why you asked for our catalogue, which we sent you last month.

A few weeks ago one of our representatives, Mr. Black, demonstrated our system to Mr. Bauer of Bauer’s Food Fair in your city. The system has now been installed, and Mr. Bauer writes “My new Phoenix Charge Positing Cash Register makes the handling of charge accounts as easy as recording of cash sales. It helps me save a lot of time, and my charge accounts are always up to date. I’m very pleased with its operation…”

You will realize, no doubt, that a catalogue cannot answer all your questions. Only an expert can do so, after he has carefully studied your particular requirements. Mr. Black would be pleased to show you how a Phoenix Charge Posting Cash Register can help you, too, save a lot of time – and money. Just fill out and mail the enclosed card.

There will, of course, be no obligation for you.

Yours very truly,

Encl.

 

Reviving Inactive Account

 

Dear Sirs,

We note that you have not entrusted us with your orders for some time. This is a matter of great concern to us, and we are wondering if in any way we failed in our efforts to please you. Should this be the case, you would do us a great favour by letting us have your frank comments. You may be sure that we will make every effort to set things right.

Under separate cover we are sending you our latest catalogue, from which you will see that we can now offer an even wider range on first-class kitchen utensils and appliances. We have recently extended and modernized our factory. These improvements have enabled us to increase our output and shorten delivery dates.

We look forward to a renewal of our cordial business relations and assure you that we will do our best to give you efficient service.

Yours faithfully,
