You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. You would like to buy some electrical goods at a shop in a nearby town. Write a letter to the shop and ask if they have the things you want or whether they will be able to order them. Ask what the prices are and how long they will be able to hold the goods for you.
Dear Sir,
I am Jane, residing in St.Johns avenue which is an hour drive from your store location. I am writing to enquire about few electrical supplies that I need to purchase for my new apartment.
Firstly
, I would like to buy a ceramic chandelier with minimal lights to decorate my living room. I am also
looking for some small fancy switches that would fit in my bathrooms and bedrooms. The apartment that I live in is about 1500sq ft with two queen-sized bedrooms and a modular kitchen and I am assuming small switches would suffice. I would like to purchase the items as soon as possible and it would be of help in calculating my budget,
if you could give me an estimate for the products. I understand prices would differ according to their brands, Remove the comma
apply
however
, I would like to know the indicative price of the supplies. I also
want to buy two 5 watt bulbs for the porch lights in my hallway as it always feels dark when I walk past the hallway.
I hope I made myself clear on the list of items that I want to buy. Please let me know if the products are readily available in stock. If not, could you please make a pre-booking of my order in a bigger store? and keep me posted on the duration of when the products would be available. I appreciate your efforts in providing me with an offline service, please also
let me know, how long you can hold the order for me as I expect a delay in picking up the order.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards,
