Sample Asking Letter

September 17, 1980

Mrs. Rebecca Martinez
Underwood Typing Center
2243 C.M. Recto, Quiapo, Manila

Dear Mrs. Martinez:

Last week you gave a set of records, “Typing to Music” in your seminar on New Discoveries in Self-instruction Typewriting. Because of a precious appointment, I was not able to attend that seminar; but, I would like very much to have a set of the records.  Several of our employees are brushing up on their typing skills, and I know that the records you made would be beneficial to them.  I also would like to listen to the records myself and prepare a descriptive write-up about them for our personnel bulletins in all of our branches.

I shall be very grateful for the attention you will give in this regard, and I am enclosing a self-addressed stamped envelope for your convenience should you have a set to spare one.  I shall also appreciate a charge phone call from you.

Very truly yours,

Eileen A.  Fernandez
Personnel Manager
