Dear Andrea,

With reference to your letter of 1th february, I'm writing back. I'm very sorry but I can't send you a brochure and pricelist because we got the new ones from 2010 yet. If you can tell me what the four languages are, then I can tell you the prices.

Also I have checked your website. We offer website editing services as well. We offer services like: renewing websites, keeping them up-to-date and giving them complete facelifts. I enclosed a pricelift for the editing services, in case you're interested.

Yours sincerely,

Beau Stolwijk

3 opmerkingen:

  1. top: the appearance is correct.

    tip: the sentence i'm writing back seems silly. she's reading your letter so she knows you have written her.
    tip: then must be than. then means toen and than means dan.

    Format and lay-out are correct. The only thing you forgot was to add a subject line.

    Grammar:
    "1th February" = 1st (first)

    Sloppiness (slordigheidsfouten):
    "we got the new ones from 2010 yet"= we HAVEN'T got the new ones FOR 2010 yet
    "I enclosed a pricelift (??)"

    The tone and style of this letter are not polite enough for a business letter.
    'Also I have checked your website. We offer website editing services as well.' This sounds as if they have created a very bad website and
    so should let you improve it.
    'in case you're interested' sounds rude (I'm sure you didn't mean it to sound rude but in English it sound a bit sarcastic..)

  3. Tip: 'I'm writing back', isn't correct because when she receives your letter, you have already written her ;)
    Top: Lay-out.
