Mr. Thomas Wendell
553 Aberdeen Road
Chattanooga, TN 37402 Dear Mr. Wendell:
Your order for a Guardsman 10-horsepower, 40-inch, electric-start Lawn Tractor shows your concern for quality. The Guardsman exceeds the American National Safety Institute's standards and offers the ruggedness and durability of solid steel construction. We usually try to fill orders for Guardsman Lawn Tractors in about two weeks, and we can understand your desire to have your Guardsman when the grass begins its spring spurt in April. Because of the steel worker's strike and an unprecedented demand for Lawn Tractors this season, it will take us six to eight weeks to fill your order. For this reason, we want to make sure that you understand your options and believe that you'll find that the Guardsman is worth the wait. The electric-start, 35-cubic inch, 10-horsepower engine has plenty of power to tackle the toughest of home-mowing needs. The engine governor automatically increases the gas feed to maintain blade speed in tall grass and weeds--even on steep hills.
In addition to the many features designed to make the Guardsman 10 the most versatile home lawn tractor on the market, any family member old enough to drive it can use it with complete confidence. The Guardsman comes with a safety interlock which permits the engine to start only with the mower in neutral and the blades disengaged. Another safety feature you'll appreciate is the automatic cutoff that disengages the blades and kills the engine should the driver leave the tractor seat while the tractor is in gear. Guardsman is the only lawn tractor available with this important feature.
Please use the enclosed card or call me at our toll-free number to let us know your decision. We will continue to process your application for credit but will hold your deposit until we hear from you.
Now that the steel workers' strike is over, we're building Guardsman 10 Lawn Tractors as fast as possible without sacrificing the famous Guardsman quality. Because we want you to be fully satisfied with your Guardsman, we assemble each one carefully so that the Guardsman you receive will not only work flawlessly but also look good.
By calling or returning your card today, you can receive your Guardsman 10 before June 15--in plenty of time for you to use it to make those midsummer and early fall chores easier than ever before.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Yeager
Marketing Manager

Mr. Robert Wilson
Best Bargain Hardware
2825 Stadium Drive
Boise, ID 83725-2825
Dear Mr. Wilson:Your order and application for credit indicate your awareness of the current demand for solar heating equipment. We're glad to hear that you anticipate increased sales in your area.
In making the routine checks you authorized, we discovered that your present level of indebtedness exceeds the 2 to 1 ratio generally considered safe for credit transactions. Until that ratio is met, cash transactions would help you avoid further indebtedness while improving your assets-to-liability ratio. The references you provided all confirm the excellence of your customer service and state that you would provide the kind of customer support we expect of our dealers.
Because of your excellent reputation, we'd like to work along with you as you improve your ratio. By taking advantage of our express shipping, you could offer Sun Glow solar heaters to your customers without needing to maintain a large inventory. Our store displays and catalog should help you sell Sun Glow products without increasing your indebtedness. Even with the added charge for express shipping, your profit margin would still be above a healthy 20 percent.
The two quarter-page ads a year in the newspaper of your choice that we provide all dealers would increase your customer traffic and help you sell Sun Glow products all year.
By completing the enclosed request form, you'll receive Sun Glow's catalog and our 3' X 5' wall display. Let us know your decision. The peak sales period for many solar heating panels will be coming up soon, as people review their winter heating bills.Sincerely,Sylvia Everard, Marketing Specialist

April 12, 20xxMr. George Rambo
Cardboard Container Division
Building 41
Perry Packaging Dear George:
As you know from reading the daily newspapers, local business has been hit rather hard by the recession. In spite of a 40 percent decline in our business, Perry's Packaging has tried hard to retain all personnel during this difficult period.
Because of another recent downturn in business, we find that some layoffs have become necessary if the company is to remain solvent. The layoffs were determined strictly by seniority. Because you have low seniority, George, your layoff will be for 90 days. Your work has been excellent, and the layoff is not a reflection of your abilities. To ensure receipt of the appropriate Workers' Compensation payments and automatic recall, please stop in the Personnel Office and see one of the Compensation Specialists.

Should the market improve soon, you can be sure that we'll notify you. We will be glad to have you back at Perry's as soon as possible.

Sincerely,


Perry Mason, President
