Persuasive Communication

1) Request for letter of recommendation

25th October 2017

Mr. David Lettermen
5896 Michigan Street
Westland Park


Subject: Request for Letter of Recommendation

Dear Mr. Lettermen:

I am writing this letter to re-introduce myself. I was your student in Bahria High School. I took COM-213 from you back in 2012. We had our class every Tuesday and Thursday in the Academic building room 413. You gave me an A on my final exam. To help you remember exactly who I am I want to remind you that it was I who accidentally broke the window by hitting a pencil on it and you were so surprised as how it could even happen.

The reason I re-introduced myself is because I need a favor from you. I have been offered a summer job with Dalton Community College which I will be attending in the fall. I will work in the student record office processing applications from entering freshmen. But to get the job I require a letter of recommendation and I was hoping if you could send it for me. The reason I asked you to recommend me is because you once said, “if you ever need a push to reach your goals, feel free to contact me.” Mr. Lettermen I think this is where I need a push from you.

If you decide to write the letter of recommendation, the letter is to be sent to Mr. Anglo Anata, Personnel Director, Dalton Community College, and P.O. Box 749, San Diego, CA 92109.
Mr. Lettermen I really hope you will write this letter for me because this job will help me pay my University tuition fee so it is a big deal for me.

Yours Truly,

2) Room Reservation

25th October 2017


Mr. Ben Steve
Del Coronado Hotel
Coronado
CA 92113

Subject: A Golden Chance

Dear Mr. Steve:

I am very happy to announce to you that Mr. Brad Pitt will be staying at your hotel for a five day vacation. Therefore, I would like to make reservations for a room in the Ocean Towers from 1st November 2017 to 5th November 2017.

We will be arriving on 1st of November early in the morning and will depart from the hotel at 2 o’ clock in the afternoon of 5th November. As mentioned earlier, the room should be in the Ocean Towers preferably with the view of the Ocean. I am looking to book a room with two double beds as I and my wife will be staying with Mr. Pitt and his wife.

You may already be aware that Mr. Pitt staying at your hotel will mean paparazzi following him and posting his whereabouts on the internet and this will act as a free publicity for your hotel. So, in return I request you to reserve the room for the lowest rate possible.

Mr. Steve, this will be a golden chance for your Hotel as no celebrity has ever stayed here and this might just be the start. I request you to please confirm my reservation as soon as possible. I am also attaching below a $100 check as a deposit as per your hotel’s policy of making reservations at your resort.

Yours Truly,

3) Inquiry about the Billing System

20th October 2017

Mr. Sam Phillip
Legal Beagle Software Inc.
3854 Centinella Avenue
Topeka
KS 66604

Subject: Billing System Inquiry

Dear Mr. Phillip:

I wish to make request for information regarding your billing program specially designed for the legal offices.

Upon researching for a computerized billing system for our legal office, I came across your advertisement about a variety software package which includes a billing program. Our firm has been using an IBM personal computer and is willing to switch to a more modern billing system to make the process smooth. Therefore, I would like to gain more information on what your software package includes, specifically the functions, contents and the features of the billing program. I would also like to know about other programs that you offer for legal offices. So, if you offer a booklet which describes the other programs, please send it to me so that I can get a better insight.

Mr. Phillip, I would request you to please send the required information before 25th of October because the meeting to discuss the computerized billing system has been scheduled for the 25thand I require information from you to present in the meeting to see if it matches our needs.


Yours Truly,
