Re:
Warehouse Safety Concern
Dear
Tom:
I
am writing because I want to go on record with this: I am concerned about the
safety of the forklifts in the warehouse.
These
machines are more than 10 years old and should be replaced, both because they
are unreliable and because I believe them to be unsafe for anyone driving them.
Compared with newer forklifts, ours are easy to overbalance; those of us who
have been driving them for a while are used to their load limitations, but I am
finding that our newer employees, who are used to more modern equipment, are
prone to overload the machines. Although each new warehouse employee’s
orientation includes training on the forklifts, I think it is time we invested
in some new technology.
I
would be happy to pull together some recommendations and pricing for replacing
the existing equipment. Let me know if you would like that information. In the
meantime, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this matter.

Dear

Thank
you for your letter of January 25 in which you stated that you had received an
incomplete kit of our Danish Modern bookshelves. I understand your frustration
at finding an incomplete package of hardware in the set and appreciate your
drawing our attention to this error.
When
we received your letter, we immediately checked our inventory to ascertain how
this problem happened. Our warehouse foreman discovered that the hardware packets
for the Danish Modern style of shelving had been mixed in with packets for a
similar style of shelving. Unfortunately, the wrong packet was sent with your
order. Needless to say, we have sorted out the hardware so that this will not
happen again.
Our
warehouse has shipped a complete set of hardware to your address, which you
should have received by now. You should be able to complete construction of the
bookshelves with no further difficulty.

apologize for any inconvenience caused by the incomplete shipment and assure
you that this error is not typical of Build-It Furniture. I hope we can count

Dear
Ms. Mueller:
Most
offices the size of Hardesty Construction spend too much on ink cartridges for
printers, copiers and fax machines. This can become a major expense, as
employees often have little regard for saving ink when they are printing or
copying.
But
you can save money on this line item by contracting with Business Ink to supply
all your ink cartridge needs. We offer the lowest prices available on all
brands and models of ink cartridges for businesses of all sizes.
Here
are a few of the benefits of buying your ink cartridges from Business Ink:
- Save 20 to 40
percent on your ink cartridges when you sign a year’s contract.
- Get the ink
cartridges you need when you need them—delivered right to your door.
- Stop searching
for hard-to-find cartridges. We stock most brands and models and guarantee
that we can find anything we do not carry.
To
reap these benefits, simply fill out the enclosed contract form and mail it
back in the stamped envelope. One of our sales representatives will call you to
confirm your needs and begin the service.
Do
not miss out on these substantial savings! Sign up with Business Ink today.

Dear
Ms. Anderson:
Occupational
Health Inc. has been ordering medical supplies from your company regularly for
6 months now. Since we placed our first order with you for $2,300 in
sterilization equipment, we have paid for every shipment either in advance or,
on rare occasions, upon delivery, spending a total of $24,750 to date.
From
this point forward, we would prefer to be billed for our Medi-Stock orders.
Therefore, I am requesting that you open a $10,000 line of credit for
Occupational Health Inc., allowing us to move to a payment-on-invoice system.
If
you require further information or references on our company, I would be happy
to supply anything you need. You can contact me at 555.555.5555 or fax a credit
application to my attention at 555.555.5555.
Thank
you in advance for your help with this matter.

Dear
Mr. Garcia:
Occupational
Health Inc. has a standard line of credit with your company and we have been
customers in good standing for nearly a year now.
I
am writing because our recent expansion will affect our future orders and, I
hope, our future payment method. Beginning next month, we will require
approximately twice as many medical supplies as we have ordered in the past. I
realize that the increased size and price of each order will cause us to exceed
our current line of credit. Therefore, I would like to request that you extend
our line of credit to a total of $50,000.
I
would like to point out that Occupational Health Inc. has an excellent
financial record, and I would be happy to provide any information you need to
approve this increase. You can contact me at 555.555.5555 or fax a credit
application to my attention at 555.555.5555.

Re:
Redistribution of Duties
After reviewing the work that the marketing department does and the division of duties within it, I have decided that it is time for a change. I hope that by shifting some responsibilities around, we will all be able to work more efficiently.
Effective immediately, Art Director Emily Tazlo will handle all aspects of print production for the department. For those of you planning and designing marketing pieces that require printing, you should work directly with Emily. She will act as liaison to printing companies, from getting estimates to going on press checks.
This change will enable our product managers and graphic designers to focus on their important tasks. It should also save on printing costs when Emily batches various jobs.
The reporting structure of the department will not change and Emily will still handle some graphic design responsibilities, as her schedule allows.
Please feel free to stop by my office if you have any questions about this new division of duties.

Re:

Every 2 years, your human resources department reviews Englehart Whittaker’s employee benefit offerings to see if we can find better benefits for you or save money on specific offerings.
The result of our latest review is that beginning next quarter, on April 1, we will replace our current health insurance provider with Hellington Mutual Insurance Co. Our new health insurance will offer the options of an HMO or PPO, similar to the choice you have now.
I have attached a breakdown of the employee costs per option, including your contribution per check, deductibles and copay information. Please review the options and, when you receive the changeover paperwork early next month, be prepared to select the HMO or PPO option for this new coverage. A list of providers for both programs will also be provided at that time.
Attached please find a revised employee handbook, which has been updated with complete details on these changes. Be sure to replace your old handbook with this one. As always, please contact me if you have any questions.

Re:
Change in Work Schedule
Englehart Whittaker is expanding our business hours so that we can have better communications with customers and vendors on the East Coast. The workday for all employees, both hourly and salaried, is changing to 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. With your current two 15-minute breaks and 1 hour for lunch, you will work 8 hours per day. This is in line with most U.S. companies today.
This change in hours is effective beginning Monday, February 2. If you have special circumstances, such as child care availability that may prevent you from changing your hours in 2 weeks, please discuss your options with the manager of your department within the next week. Anyone who cannot work the new schedule must let their manager know before the schedule change takes place.
Please contact me or any member of the human resources staff if you have questions regarding the new schedule.

the best that can be said is that a middle-aged person has likely learned how

A

states that if you are late one more time after receiving this letter, the next
step will be to place you on probation, and the step after that will be
immediate termination. I certainly hope that it does not come to that, but I

This
letter is in response to your request for help for the Indy Coalition to End
Homelessness.
Though
I agree that this cause is an important one and believe that your efforts to
support the coalition are commendable, we are unable to contribute at this
time.
It
is difficult to turn down your request, but Midwest Industries has limited
funds available for charitable contributions and we have already allocated
those funds to other causes.
Good
luck with your fund-raising efforts; I am sure that you will do an outstanding
job.

Refusing Request for Salary Increase or Promotion

Re:
Salary Considerations
Dear
Beth:
I
received your note of January 18 regarding your upcoming annual review. Rather
than wait for our in-person meeting in February, I wanted to respond
immediately.
First,
let me reinforce that TRX has a set salary range for each position, and no
exceptions can be made to those ranges. The salary range for your position is
$60,000 to $70,000. As long as you stay in your current job, and until those
salary ranges are adjusted by TRX’s human resources department, your salary
cannot exceed $70,000.
Second,
though I understand that you have been doing additional work in the past few
months, I must point out that everyone here (and, indeed, in most companies in
the United States) is working harder than ever. This is the state of our
economy; we must all work harder than we used to. While I agree that your work
is of excellent quality, I cannot reward you for handling additional
responsibilities, as this is true of every employee here at TRX.
When
we sit down for your annual review, I would be happy to discuss how I perceive
your work. However, I want to stress that your initial request is unrealistic.

Re:
Help for the Homeless Fund
Every year, we select a good cause for El-tronics to adopt. In years past, we have helped to build houses with Habitat for Humanity, supported needy children in Sierra Leone and given our time and money to charities for the families of Sept. 11 victims.
This year, El-tronics has selected a local cause. The Help for the Homeless Fund is a charity based here in Cleveland that not only feeds and shelters the homeless in our metropolitan area, but provides counseling and funding to help get some of these people off the streets and employed.
I am asking each of you to consider making a cash donation to this good cause. It need not be a large donation, but whatever you give, the company will match. For example, if you donate $50, we will give an additional $50.
Please use the enclosed envelope and form to make your donation directly to the fund. All donations must be in by March 15, and at that time, I will write a check matching the total amount of funds given by El-tronics employees.
I hope that you will participate in helping this cause; together, we can make a difference in getting homeless people in our community clothed, fed, off the streets and into homes or shelters.

Specifically, I have added full responsibility for press relations and press
releases to my regular workload.

increase for an employee with a good or excellent review is six percent. I

percent.

Dear
Mr. Mansfield:
Today
we received a VGB Binders invoice for our order #7492943. I wanted to contact
you before this paperwork was sent to discuss a change to our agreement and I
trust it is not too late.
As
you know, this order for 5,000 binders did not go smoothly. We received the
wrong materials initially and then had to wait more than a week to receive the
correct binders. This delay caused a backup in our own customer orders.
Therefore,
I think it would be fair for VGB Binders to reduce the costs on this order. I
propose that a fair discount for our inconvenience and that of our customers
would be 20 percent, making the cost of this invoice $4,985.
I
realize that this invoice has already been processed on your end and that
making this change will entail some backtracking. However, I would like to
stress that Brink Information Services (BIS) would like to continue to rely on
your company for our materials for a long time to come. Making the extra effort
of revising this invoice will go a long way toward showing that your company
also plans to pursue a long-standing and lucrative relationship with BIS.
If
you would like to discuss this matter, please contact me directly at
555.555.5555.

Dear
Ms. Bagnall:
You
should be among the first to know: Payroll Plus is adding two exciting new
features to our services.
I
know that your accounting department appreciates the ease of our Web-based
technology to view and update payroll information, but did you know that you
can now offer your employees the same convenience? We have updated our security
features so that our clients can offer each of their employees unlimited
password-protected views of their current and past pay stubs online.
In
addition, we have enhanced our direct deposit acceptance. If an employee
chooses, we can now split his or her monthly pay between two accounts. For
example, if an employee wants 20 percent of every paycheck to go directly into
his or her savings account and the remainder into his or her checking account,
that division can be automated by paycheck, month or quarter.
Our
beta testers for these Payroll Plus features, including several Fortune 500
companies, were delighted with the convenience. This is a terrific way to
provide more benefits to your employees at a minimal cost.
I
will call you next week to discuss adding either or both of these new features
to your Payroll Plus package. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

warehouse at 4338 N. Ashland Ave. will expire at the end of June. I would like
to assure you that we are interested in renewing that lease but would like a

The
current rental market in San Diego favors tenants, and we have many options for
moving and saving money on rent. However, there are a number of reasons why we
would prefer to stay at this location and continue to rent from Culver &
Culver.
Therefore,
I propose that we renew our lease for the standard time frame of 3 years with a
five percent decrease in our rent. This decrease would bring our payments more
in line with the current market, and we would be willing to accept this minor
reduction in order to avoid the costs of moving. You would benefit by ensuring
you have a paying tenant for the next 3 years with no effort on your part.

let me know if this proposition suits you. I will need an answer by the end of

Dear
Ms. Fleishmann:
Never
before have Americans consumed so much exotic tea. In fact, this past year
marked the first year that tea sales exceeded sales of bulk coffees. Special
Teas Inc.–a wholesaler of exotic, high-end teas from Asia that sells to major
retail chains and smaller specialty stores around the U.S.–has statistics on
geographic sales in supermarkets to show buying patterns.
This
is exciting news for all of us here at Special Teas and I believe readers of Grocers
World Journal would be interested in learning about this news.
If
you are interested in writing an article on this subject or would like to learn
more, please contact me.
Sincerely,

Re: Letter
to Shareholders Providing a General Update
January

Dear
Shareholder:
Last
year, despite a shaky economy, Stein Software managed to hold steady. We did
lose a few clients─companies that went out of business, underwent acquisitions
or simply lowered their IT budget─but we were able to make up for these losses
with some cost controls and a reorganization.
Overall,
consolidated revenues for 2007 were $3.2 million, a decrease of just six
percent from the previous year.
Stein
Software could not have succeeded so well in 2007 without the hard work and
sacrifices of its staff and leadership. I would especially like to thank CEO
Jillian Thomas for her leadership through these challenging times. And I would
like to thank you, the shareholders, for your support of Stein Software.
We
are looking forward to better things in 2008 and are confident that we can keep
expenses low and thus increase our profits as we explore new markets and
opportunities.

Dear
Shareholder:
As
a shareholder in Stein Software, you should hear major news about the
corporation directly rather than reading it in the newspapers. That is why I am
sending you this letter.
As
you saw in our last annual report, we had plans to put some major cost controls
into place in 2008. The first stage of that plan was implemented today, as we
laid off 100 employees, or 14 percent of our workforce. Most of these layoffs
occurred in our customer service department. As part of our new reorganization,
our salespeople will take on customer service relations for their own clients.
Also, Web-based and other automated programs will replace in-person
communications.
You
may see something about this subject in the press in the next few weeks. I want
to assure you that everything is under control at Stein Software and ask for
your continued support and goodwill as we handle this situation.

Dear
Mr. Mansfield:
I
received a copy of your company’s price list and payment terms and would like
to propose a slight change that would make purchasing materials from your
company more palatable to Brink Information Services (BIS).
Rather
than paying for orders with cash on demand, which entails giving a check to our
driver to turn over to the recipient on your end, we would prefer to have the
order charged to our company credit card on the day we receive the order.
I
hope that you will consider adopting these revised terms; you will still
receive a confirmed payment in full at the time of delivery, and we can avoid
having our drivers handle checks for us.
Please contact me when you are ready to discuss this proposed change. You can reach me at 555.555.5555.

Dear

Today
we received a VGB Binders invoice for order #7492943 for 5,000 binders. I
wanted to notify you immediately that we will not pay this invoice because what
you delivered was not what we ordered.
After
comparing the information on the invoice to that in our records, we found that
the order attached to this invoice was incorrect and has yet to be replaced. We
did order 5,000 of your standard padded binders, but the materials we received
on February 8 did not match our order. Those materials, which included 4,000
5.5 x 8.5” binders and 2,000 vinyl portfolios, are still in our warehouse
waiting for collection. Although our warehouse manager has repeatedly contacted
your company for replacement of these materials with the 5,000 standard
binders, no action has been taken.
Please
check your own files to make sure that they accurately reflect this order. If
there is a problem with the accounting system or general record-keeping at VGB
Binders, I trust that you will personally make sure it is eliminated so that
this does not happen again.

Dear
Mr. Pritchard:
Thank
you for your letter stating that you received an incomplete kit of our Danish
Modern bookshelves. You should have received a complete set of hardware by now,
enabling you to complete construction of the bookshelves.
You
might be interested to know that we have determined that the error occurred
because of a mistake in our warehouse assembly instructions. We have corrected
and redistributed all packing lists to ensure that everything is complete and
accurate.
I
apologize for any inconvenience caused by the incomplete shipment.
Sincerely,

Dear
Jason:
We
have worked together in one capacity or another for more than 6 years now, and
we have seen our share of ups and downs in this business. I believe we have a
good professional relationship, one that can be relied on for help from time to
time.
Therefore,
I am writing to ask you for a favor. RTG Construction is in the process of
bidding on a job for Tyree Department Stores. They are planning a store in the
South Street Mall, and we want to build it for them. I know that you have
worked with Tyree in the past and believe that a personal recommendation from
you would really help us win this contract.
Would
you consider giving your contact at Tyree a call sometime this month and
mentioning our record of success and reliability? I only ask this because I
know we are up against some tough competition and could really use a personal
endorsement from a source that Tyree trusts.
I
hope that you will consider helping me with this matter. Please know that I
will not hesitate to return the favor if you should ever need a similar
recommendation.

Dear
Mr. Grundy:
As
you are aware, I have registered several complaints about incomplete shipments
from Corrugated Cardboard in the past 4 months.
Our
latest shipment (order #59238502) arrived at our warehouse yesterday and it too
was incomplete. We received only the size B boxes and now have to postpone
several shipments of our own due to the missing A boxes.
We
were willing to overlook a few errors, but now these errors are beginning to
have a negative impact on our business. Therefore, I have decided to find
another box supplier. We will not be ordering from Corrugated Cardboard again,
effective today.
Please
refund the cost of the A boxes that we did not receive and then close our
account.

There
is a serious problem with your invoice system that needs to be addressed

This

$2,460. We never issued a purchase order for these materials and have no record
of receiving them.
I have no intention of paying this bill, which
was issued by your accounting department on January 5. In fact, I plan to pull
your previous invoices to make sure that we received everything that we have
paid for to date.
Please
rectify the situation with this unwarranted invoice immediately. I will watch
for your reply with your assurance that this invoice has been voided and that
this will not happen again.

Apology Letter... A business apology letter can be key to keeping customers.
June 28, 2005
Ms. Rebecca Winston
2595 Dewdrop Circle
Unit No. 29
Birmingham, AL 35233
Dear Ms. Winston:
The purpose of this is to convey to you my sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced last month with respect to the installation of your Internet high speed service.
I just returned from vacation this week and found your file in my in-basket. As soon as I reviewed your case it was clear that somehow your May 20th request for a change in service had somehow slipped through the cracks. The only possible explanation I can give is that we have recently had a number of key staff changes which might have resulted in your letter being overlooked.
Consequently, I have directed our Installation Group to contact you by the end of this week to set up a time convenient to you when they could go to your house and install your new router and make the necessary adjustments to your software.
Because of this serious oversight, and as a testament to our appreciation of you as our customer, we are going to provide you with your first three months of high speed service free of charge. Therefore, your account will not be billed until October of this year.
Ms. Quinlan, let me assure you that what happened in your case is not typical of CableNet's level of customer service. We continue to be committed to providing you and all of our customers with the highest standards of service in the industry.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me at 754-9785.
Yours in service,
Paul Cordero
Manager, Customer Solutions
We, hereby, convey my heartfelt thanks to you for the help extended to us in UAN online activation. Without your active help, it would not have been possible.
