Sample Appreciation Letter – Replacement of Merchandise

November 14, 2001

Mrs. Natividad Cheng

Dear Mrs. Cheng:
R&R Enterprises
4143 Avenida Rizal, Manila

Dear Mrs. Cheng:

I wish to thank you for your courtesy in replacing the T-shirts and baby’s dresses which I recently returned and wrote to you about.

This is particularly generous of you, as there is no guarantee given with the said merchandises.  It was hardly to be expected, however, that merchandises of such brand and quality should be defective.  I hope that I shall be more fortunate next time.

In the meantime, please accept my grateful acknowledgment for your fairness and promptness in attending to my complaint.  The incident leaves me more convinced than ever of the expediency of trading with a firm that always stands back of its goods

Very truly yours,

Rowena Martinez

Mr. Jose Gregorio
Pantalan, Orani, Bataan

Dear Mr. Gregorio:

I was glad to meet you at Rotary in Quezon City last Tuesday, and I enjoyed chatting with you about some of the problems of handling volume correspondence.

You promised to tell me more about how you have improved correspondent procedures in your offices and suggested that we get together for lunch on the 16th.  Unless I hear from you, may I assume that our appointment is still “on”?  I’ll plan to arrive at your office about 12:30

Truly yours,

Engr. Kristina Melanio

Sample Letter of Application

Mr. M.A. Lindstrom, Head
Personnel Department
Rhode Island Oil Company
Sarnia, Texas

Dear Mr. Lindstrom:

I talked to your Austin representative, Mr. Clapper, and he informed me that it is a policy of your Company to employ college students of petroleum engineering each summer as assistant gaugers.  I should like to submit my application for that position.

While working with the Marshall Drilling Company, I became thoroughly familiar with the location of wells on your Chalker and Sarnia fields.  In fact, I happened to be working with the crew that drilled the first deep dual-completion well on the Dole lease last summer.  The course which I completed this year in Petroleum Production covered production gauges and their functions and operation quite thoroughly.

Please refer to the enclosed data sheet for details of my education and experience and the names of persons who have consented to express an opinion about my ability and character.

I shall be glad to go to your Sarnia office any Saturday on a few hours’ notice.  Unfortunately, my schoolwork makes it virtually impossible for me to go during the week.

Yours respectfully,

Malcolm Richards
