Answer to Letter Text Reconstruction 1
Dear Mr. Brown,
Because of rising costs, we are forced to raise our advertising rates for next year. We have conducted a survey among many of our advertisers to explain that if we did not do this, we would have to change the quality of the paper of our magazine.
Much to our surprise, over 80% of the respondents said they would prefer a moderate increase in price to a decrease in paper quality. The general consensus was that a magazine devoted to the arts is dependent on quality reproduction.
We are keeping the increase to a low average of 8.7% starting in January, but we are giving our current clients an opportunity to reserve space at the old rates. Therefore, if we receive a contract from you prior to December 1, the current rates will apply for the entire new year.
To take advantage of this opportunity, please call your regional representative and reserve your high-quality, high-interest advertising space.
Sincelery,

Dear Ms Lancaster,
I was sorry to learn that the chair you ordered arrived in pieces. Yesterday, we were able to trace the shipment and even the freight company agrees that the chair had been damaged during shipment.
We are sending you another chair that is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday.
You can send the broken chair back to us with the driver who delivers the new one, if you kindly pack the pieces in the original carton and use the enclosed shipping form.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but I am sure that you will enjoy the new chair for a long time to come.
Best regards.
