...Margaret Caldwell 2789 Arviara Park-way Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Mrs. Caldwell We received your letter on November 11 regarding the transactions made at Wilson’s Gourmet market. It’s our priority to thoroughly investigate situations which inconvenience our customers with any of their accounts. Our goal is to continuously improve our services and protect our clients from erroneous transactions. Unfortunately, due to the nature of some transactions common amongst our clientele, we are unable to credit a reimbursement. Our assessment based off the analysis conducted of all the information surrounding your claim, we have verified that the transactions with reference number 1440022-22839837109 were three separate transactions made on the same day at Wilson’s Gourmet market. Transaction numbers generated by this vendor are produced daily, not hourly, so the purchases made on the day of these transactions; $23.02, $110.95, and $47.50 retain the same transaction number. In addition, we conducted an investigation on the vendor’s register and credit machine which concluded that they were operating correctly and without miscalculation. We are very sorry to inform that we will not be able to approve a refund of $181.47 to your checking account, because these charges were not a result of the bank or merchant error. You are a valued customer and...

...October 1, 2013 Binford Tools Inc. 1234 Annapolis Dr. Plumville Pa, 65790 Dear Binford Tools, Lee Valley Tools would first like to thank you for your recent submission of your new midrange hand plane to be sold through its retail stores, website, and catalogs. It can see that you have put great thought and time into manufacturing a fine wood-working instrument. With that said, on behalf of Lee Valley, I regretfully am writing to inform you that it will not be accepting your tool into the family of Lee Valley woodworking tools. While your tool is a fine specimen, it does not meet the criteria Lee Valley has put in place to keep it at the top of the industry. The evaluation criteria are as follows: • Quality of Materials • Precision Manufacturing • Innovative Designs • Cost Quality of Materials: After extensive testing of your product, testers have noticed flaws that could lead to it wearing down quicker then they’d like to see. The steel used for the planer is lacking the durability needed to hold up to the constant use by our customers. The edge must hold its sharpness for much longer than what is being seen through testing. Precision Manufacturing: With the use of lower grade steel, the testers see that thinner irons were used which create more vibrations when pulled across the wood surface. These vibrations affect the quality of finish, which from our products, needs to be of the highest quality. Innovative Design: Lee Valley takes pride in upholding...

...------------------------------------------------- Business letter It is a formal letter and can be used as a formal thing. or between such organizations and their customers, clients and other external parties. The overall style of letter depends on the relationship between the parties concerned. Business letters can have many types of contents, for example to request direct information or action from another party, to order supplies from a supplier, to point out a mistake by the letter's recipient, to reply directly to a request, to apologize for a wrong, or to convey goodwill. A business letter is sometimes useful because it produces a permanent written record, and may be taken more seriously by the recipient than other forms of communication There are two main styles of business letters: 1.

...Transmittal letters often accompany reports and inform readers of a report's context. Typically, the letter includes information not found in the report. For example, the letter contains information about the particular project and/or due dates. A Transmittal Letter is a business letter and should be formatted accordingly; that is, you should include the recipient's address, your address, a salutation and closing. Depending on the project, you may also need to include contact information. Always check with your instructor to determine whether or not you should attach a transmittal letter to your report. In Finance, a Letter of Transmittal is a document used by a security holder to accompany certificates surrendered in an exchange or other corporate action. A Letter of Transmittal may also be a distribution list with the recipients of a memo, report or contract. A transmittal letter accompanies a document and explains what the document is, why it should receive the reader's consideration, and what the reader should do with it. A transmittal or cover letter accompanies a larger item, usually a document. The transmittal letter provides the recipient with a specific context in which to place the larger document and simultaneously gives the sender a permanent record of having sent the material. Transmittal letters are usually brief. The first paragraph describes what is being sent and the purpose for sending it. A longer transmittal letter may summarize key elements...

...several different audiences, including undergraduate and graduate students. The organization of this manual is a logic sequence of chapters including both business communication and correspondence. The first part is dedicated to business communication and the second to business correspondence. The special features found in this edition are: 1. Examples of effective letter writing. Studies have shown students studying written business communication can learn as much, if not more, from ineffective examples of written communication as they do from effective examples. 2. Varied application problems in the writing-oriented chapters. The number of problems has been increased. While the majority of problems require the writing of a letter or report, some are designed to give students an opportunity to develop the often overlooked skill of editing. 3. Many new application problems in the non-writingoriented chapters. 4. New topics, such as nonverbal communication language, various types of speeches and presentations. 4 Part 1 BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE 1. The Business Letter 1.1.

...COPIER CONFUSION CASE STUDY Abstract The Business Company, Inc., badly needed new copying machines. The company had 20 machines, but they were old and copy quality was poor. They broke down frequently. And to change paper size from 8.5 x 11 in. to legal-size, the user had to remove one paper tray containing 8.5 x 11 in. paper and replace it with a tray containing legal-size paper. Newer machines had two trays, one for each paper size, that permitted changing paper size at the push of a button without changing paper trays. The company’s purchasing agent, thought this would be a labor-saving feature and decided to include it in a specification for purchase of new machines. The copying machine industry called this feature, “dual-cassette” design. John Richards, the company’s purchasing agent, thought this would be a labor-saving feature and decided to include it in a specification for purchase of new machines. The copying machine industry called this feature, “dual-cassette” design. The Business Company issued an invitation for bids for purchase and maintenance of 20 replacement machines. The solicitation included a specification that called for a machine that would permit “copying both 8.5 x 11 in. and legal-size paper without manually changing the paper trays.” The term dual cassette did not appear in the specification.

Read Sections 5.6 through 5.10 in Chapter 5 – Evaluating a Single Project and Sections 13.1 through 13.4 in Chapter 13 – The Capital Budgeting Process from the course textbook. Note, as mentioned in class, the error in the definition of “EBIT” on page 552 in Chapter 13 which should read “Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.” Also, in Example 13-3 at the bottom of page 556, leverage, λ, is erroneously called the “debt-equity ratio” whereas it should be called the “debt fraction” or the “debt-to-capital” ratio. 2. Answer Questions 5-12, 5-14, 5-16, 5-17, 5-46, 5-47 and 5-54 found at the end of Chapter 5. Write up your answers, showing all work, neatly and concisely on 8.5 x 11 inch paper.

...business. Therefore what is written and how it is expressed is as much a part of business education as accountancy and economics. Definition of a Business Letter The business letter is the basic means of communication between two companies. It is estimated that close to 100 million Business Letters are written every workday. It is a document typically sent externally to those outside a company but is also sent internally to those within a company. Purpose of a Business Letter The first question for any writer should be, "Why am I writing?" "What is my goal or my purpose for writing?" For many writing contexts the long–range purpose of writing is to communicate to a particular audience. In order to communicate successfully to your audience, understanding your purpose for writing will make you a better writer. Purpose is the reason why you are writing. You may write a grocery list in order to remember what you need to buy. You may write a laboratory report in order to carefully describe a chemistry experiment. You may write an argumentative essay in order to persuade someone to change the parking rules on campus. You may write a letter to a friend to express your excitement about her new job. Notice that selecting the form for your writing (list, report, essay, letter) is one of your choices that helps you achieve your purpose. You also have choices about style, organization; kinds of evidence that help you achieve your purpose. ...
