Task 1 Letter: Perfect example 5

You would like to buy some electrical goods at a shop in a town which is far from your home.

Write a letter to the manager of the shop. In your letter:

say which electrical goods you want
ask questions about the cost of the goods and how to pay
explain how you will collect the goods.

Write at least 150 words.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to enquire if you have some electrical items that I need to purchase. I have tried to find these in the shops in my town but the options here are very limited and I have not been able to find what I need.
The first item I need is an external Blu-ray drive, preferably Sony, and a Smartphone with a 12 megapixel camera. I am also looking for a printer which combines copying and scanning functions. If these items are available, could you please keep them for me at the shop as I would like to collect them in person when I visit the town next week. I would also like to know if it is possible to pay online with PayPal or by telephone with a credit card, or if I can pay when I pick up the goods.

I would really appreciate it if you could reply to my enquiry as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,
John Johnson
