7. What type of letter is it?

Dear Mr. Greenbaum:

I am taking a course in Principles of Advertising at Smithville Community College in Smithville, Ohio, and I am doing my term project on the ways in which American automobile manufacturers are now competing in the small-car market.

I would therefore greatly appreciate your sending me the following specifications on the new RX-7:

1 Fuel economy statistics

2 Technological advances (such as steering system, brake system, and engine capacity)

3 Available options

I would also find it very helpful if you told me in which magazine (or other mass media) you began your advertising campaign.

I am certain my classmates will find this information extremely interesting. I will be sure to send you a copy of my report as soon as it is complete.

Respectfully yours,

a.Inquiry

b.Memo

c.A letter of complaint

d.A letter of rejection
