    We have introduced many innovations into our product line since the last order you placedwith our firm, and if the reason we haven't heard from you has nothing to do with a complaint,we would appreciate having the opportunity to show you these innovations.

    In either case, it would be wonderful to hear from you.

    Decline to Interview Referred Job Applicant

    Dear 

    Having been away from the office for a few days, I didn't read your letter of May 19th untiltoday.

    While I am sure the young man you wrote to me about wouldn't warrant the recommendationyou gave unless he is truly exceptional, I believe it would be unfair to him to set up aninterview at this time.

    We have just had to lay off twenty four employees and there is no way that I could justifyhiring someone new under those circumstances. We anticipate that business should improveover the next six months, but for now, the timing is off.

    Denial of Request for Additional Discount

    Dear 

    This letter is in response to your inquiry regarding our flexibility in the discount rate we offer for early settlement of accounts.

    Our established discount is 2% of the total invoiced amount when payment is received within10 days of delivery. This figure is not one that has been arbitrarily chosen, but is based on cost,overhead and profit. To increase this discount rate for all of our accounts would seriously

     jeopardize our firm and to increase the rate for an individual account would be both unfair andunethical. I believe that you will find that the 2% discount rate we offer our customers isstandard in the industry.

    We consider you a most valued customer and hope that you can appreciate our position in this

    Dear 

    There is such a high degree of anxiety about the proposed merger with (name of firm) that Ican see the effects in my department daily. I do not feel that the\ newsletter put out last week helped assuage the fears of the other employees.

    I believe that it might be beneficial to meet the issue head-on by holding a meeting whereinquestions can be put forth and answers can be provided.

    There is a schism between employees and management that appears to be growing and presents a potential problem. If, for example, this merger fails to materialize, the employeesmay maintain their current feelings of alienation to the detriment of the organization.

    I know that there are many inherent problems in hashing this subject out in an open forum andthese must be weighed against the present alternative. I do feel, however, that the suggestion isworth some consideration.
