Dear Ms. Nelson,
I have been a subscriber to Art World ever since the magazine was established. I still have all the issues and never tire of reading the excellent articles and stories again and again. You and your staff are doing an excellent job.
Last month, I was delighted to learn about a sculpting that was being held by the Grover Community Center here in Birmingham from a notice in July’s issue of Art World. The deadline for entering the contest was the last day of July, and yesterday I received an e-mail informing me that my entry won second place.
I would not have heard of the competition had it not been for your magazine. Birmingham needs more local magazines like yours enrich its unique cultural flavor.
Sincerely yours,
Marcus Gordon

Re: New data research program
Dear Mr. Stagg:
As Head of Data Management here at Sato Industries, I am always looking for high-quality software programs that will allow my division to organize our information easily and efficiently. The other day, a friend of mine who works at GloTech’s market research office in Osaka told me about one of your programs his company uses. Apparently, this program, called Sort Right, is very easy to install and can generate a variety of charts. In my department, we have to use graphs practically every day so we need an easy-to-use program.
We would be delighted if a representative from Winston Software could visit us and show us how this program works. Sato’s research staff will be starting a huge new project on October 2, so we hope to arrange a demonstration of Sort Right before the end of the month.
Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you very much and I hope to hear for you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Keiko Aoki

Re: re: New data research program
Dear Ms. Aoki
Thank you very much for your e-mail and for your interest in our software. The program you mentioned has been very popular. In fact, its total sales for this month are 11% higher than last month. Everyone here in my sales department is, of course, very excited about this.
We would also be delighted to provide a demonstration. In fact, one of our sales representatives, Irene Goodine, resides just three blocks from your company and knows exactly where your office is located. In addition, Ms. Goodine has been working in our sales department for 15 years and so is very familiar with all our software. I have already spoken to Ms. Goordine about this matter, and she would be delighted to visit Sato Industries on September 28 anytime between 9:00 A.M. and 2:30 P.M. Please let me know a convenient time.
Again, thank you very much. We hope that Winston Software and Sato Industries will develop healthy and mutually beneficial relationship.
Sincerely yours,
Jeff Stagg, Director of Sales
