Sample 2
To : Sunny Electronic
House < SunElectromics@suneh.com.hk.>
Our college will have an intake of around 2,000 new students in January, 20001, and we would like to update our language learning facilities. Our language learning laboratory seats 40 students and we envisage each student with a cassette deck for language learning purposes. We would therefore be looking at an initial order of 40 cassette decks. We would also appreciate any advice you could give us on the appropriate design and layout of a language laboratory. We look forward to hearing from you.
