Dear Work4Freedom,

I read your advertisement in the Bourneville Echo last Friday. I am a 34-year-old homemaker, and I am very interested in making a little extra money to pay for a vacation. I'd also like to put a little aside each month for special treats. for my family. I have not enclosed the $45 that you request because I'd like to find out more about your company first. How many people do you employ, and what is the average amount of income they earn in a month? I want to know roughly how much money I could make before I make a financial commitment to you.
 
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Charlene Smith
