Dear Mr Trevor,
We are submitting our account sales for the consignment delivered ex-SS Orianna. You will find our draft for £1,190.80 enclosed, which is for the total sales, less our commission at 10 per cent and charges.
A number of booksellers here have been asking us if they could get scientific text books, or classic fiction which is written in a simplified form of English and would be suitable for students of an intermediate level in English.
If you produce a series like this, would you send us a list? If not, could you put us in touch with a company that specializes in these books?
Yours sincerely,
L. Chailing
Encl. account sales and draft.
