MODEL ANSWER:

Dear Mr Thomas,

I live in Cox Town, which is just 500 meters east to your shop. I am writing to you to enquire about the purchase of specific books which I have been searching for quite a long period.

Since I started living here in the town, I realized that the only shop which sells the latest science fiction books is yours. I have been to your shop twice and I really appreciate your service. Now, I would like to know whether you can order ‘The Mystical Aliens’ for me. Since I have been longing to read such a wonderful book, I would like to know the estimate of my order, if it is placed.

I would also require the autobiography of Sir Isaac Newton, which is really a rare piece. If you could order me these two, I would like to know the estimated time of delivery. I would also like to know whether I can hold them in advance.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Martin
