Dear miss Susan

Recently I have bought the restaurant and I have check that the equipation in cutlery of it is insufficient and very old. I need knives, forks and spoons, 200 of each of them, large and small.
Last week I saw an advertisement of your shop of professional kitchen equipment.
I would ask you for a catalogue whit your products and their prizes included.
When I will have seen your catalogue and if I am interested, I would send you a letter with my order.

I hope to receive the catalogue soon.

Your Sincerely




Jorge Soler
Owner of the restaurant
