4. Assignment:
An enquiry
You are Kim Zimmermann from Spielwaren Zimmermann in 10787 Berlin. You have a small shop at Hardenbergplatz 8 where you sell toys. You also offer a range of model cars for collectors.
You are a subscriber to TOYS FOR ALL, a quarterly trade magazine for toy retailers. You don’t read every copy of the magazine, but in the most recent edition you saw an advertisement by Knott Limited.
It presented their new collection of model cars.
The classic Mini models caught your eye. The advertisement didn’t give the scale of the models and you only sell models of scale 1:43. These are about 7 to 10 cm long.
The advertisement didn’t give any prices. Now you want to write an enquiry to Knott Limited.
a) Collect the details for your letter and write these down. Organise these points in the best order for the letter and send in this list as your answer to part a) of the exercise.
b) Draft the letter, then edit and correct it. Send in the complete letter as your answer to part b).
Tips: You should include the complete letter ready for signing. Business letters are typed or printed, never hand-written. If you cannot type or print your letter, then write it as clearly and neatly as you can in the correct layout on a sheet of white paper. Write your name and student ID at the top of the page.
Remember to send in both parts of this exercise: the numbered list of points and the complete letter.
