Dear             ,
 
     We are considering [updating our office equipment to
include a word-processing system.]  We are writing to
request information from you on [the prices, capabilities,
maintenance records, and expandability of the systems] you
offer.  We are especially interested in [the quality of
documentation, the ease with which a system can be used, and
the available training].
 
     We are a [medium-sized, service business and expect to
eventually acquire five word processors that are compatible
with each other.  Additional functions, such as spreadsheet
analysis and budgeting are less important to us right now,
but a system that could handle such tasks would be a plus.]
 
     Thank you for your time.  We look forward to your
reply.
 
Sincerely,
