Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
email regarding an important
book
that I need for my study plan at university. I have been looking for
this
book
for 2 weeks and am still unable to find it in my city.
Therefore
, I kindly request that you offer
this
book
in your store. The
book
is called 'Creative Writing' written by John Smith, who is an American writer, and famous for his academic writing. It's the second edition for

students.
In addition
to that, the
book
is highly recommended by most of my teachers in college and got a high rate on the Internet.
This
is why it's out of stock from all the bookstores in my area. I need
this
book
because it's required for me in order to pass the final writing exam. The test is set
at the end
of the year, and I have to learn how to write an essay before I finish the foundation year.
Also
, my writing skills are very weak and need to be developed.
Therefore
, I need the
book
as soon as possible.
Furthermore
, I would be very grateful if your store provided a Visa payment, because I believe that online payment is the most comfortable method for me
instead
of cash. I am looking forward to hearing from you. If you need any
further
information please contact me by email. Kind regards,
