Memorandum
All this is to write a letter. You do not need to make a 300 words.
Imagine that you are a representative of a manufacturing company. Your boss has asked you to attend the Fabtech Trade Show which is September 13-16, 2021 in Chicago, Illinois, at the McCormick Place.
The purpose of attending the show is to meet with a company at the show that has products or services that your company could use.
For this discussion post, write a letter to a representative from this company and request a meeting at the show to find out more about the company’s products or services. Use the format for a letter from Chapter 6 and include the following information:
For your greeting, if you cannot find a person’s name to use, address your letter to the department of the company that would be relevant such as “Sales Manager” or “New Product Development Manager”. Do not use “To Whom It May Concern”.
Introduce your company briefly and explain your interest in the other company.
Ask at least three specific questions about the company’s products or services or their capabilities.
Provide options for when and where you would be available for a meeting.
Show appreciate for the representative’s time.
Include your contact information.
