Dear Mr Collins,
I am writing to thank you for attending our school careers day last week
and giving such
an inspirational and interesting speech on career prospects in the
financial services industry.
I am also writing to inform. you that you left a CI}ROM in the computer
which you used
during your speech. Iwould like to return it to you as soon as possible but
Iwas unsure
whether to send it to your company or adifferent address.
I contacted your office but,unfortunately, you were away on business and I
spoke to a
secretary. She said that the disc belonged to your own private consultancy
business and that I should send it there. She provided me with an address but I am afraid
that I may havewritten it down incorrectly. The address I have is as
follows:Collinsi一Consultancies, Box 283A, Bristol. Could you please confirm that this is the correct address to
which I shouldsend the disc?
Thank you once again for your generosity in giving up your valuable time
for the
students at our school and Iam sorry I have been unable to return your
CD-ROM morepromptly.
Yours sincerely,
John Smith
