You might want to consider coming during the week for a more relaxed visit! Thanks again! Dear Ms. Brazinski: It was our pleasure to cater your parents’ 50th anniversary party last fall. We’re glad that you were happy enough with our service that you referred us to your neighbors, the Mayers. As you might know, we will be catering their daughter’s graduation next month. We hope that your parents are doing well on their way to another year together. They certainly are an inspiration to all of us! Thanks again for the referral! Sincerely, Dear Mr. Williams: We received our spring order this morning. What a surprise to find a box of Girl Scout Cookies packed in with the swim suits! Thank you for thinking of us, it was just the thing to ease the tension as we ready for our big sale. With the unseasonably warm weather this week, we anticipate a successful sale. I’m a little worried that we didn’t order enough stock. How quickly could we get a fill-in order shipped? Thanks for your help, as always! Sincerely, |
