8.1.A CREDIT CHECK
1.Altmann Ltd is a small printing business. Recently, some of their biggest customers went into liquidation and Altmann Ltd did not receive any money. This means that they cannot buy paper to continue printing. Harold Altmann, one of the owners, decided to see if he could buy some paper on credit from Jan Peterson, who works at Sweden Paperworks. This is the letter he wrote.
►Does Harold Altmann know Jan Peterson? How do you know?

Dear Jane
I was wondering if you could help us. We need a rather large amount of paper so that we can continue printing. Since we won’t receive any money until our customers have paid us, would it be possible for you to let us have some paper on credit?
If you need a credit reference for your files, you could write to Pelican Paper Ltd, College Court, College Road, London.
I hope that you are keeping well. Please say hello to David for me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Harold
