Dear Mr Owels,
I am writing
this
letter in regards to selling a vintage antique piece of jewellery to your esteemed shop.
I am a resident of Sector 76, NOIDA, which is quite close to your establishment and found the location and contact details of your store from our local weekly magazine, where it was clearly mentioned that your business deals in purchase and sale of old valuable items.
My great-grandfather, one of the prolific writers of his time, worked quite closely for the king of Junagadh, who presented him with a beautiful piece of necklace. It has a silver thread with multiple jewels dangling from one end to the other, with a large sapphire in the centre.
Additionally
, it comes with a nice set of earpieces.
Since the core jewel on the item is very heavy, I think it must be of great value. I am planning to put the item for sale at a price of INR 40 lacs, but I am open to negotiating at a lower value as well.
Also
, if I can get all the money upfront, I can further
provide a 5% discount.
I hope to receive a positive response from your side.
Yours faithfully,
Abhishek SinhaSubmitted by abhishek.sparta on
