Mr David Bintley, 4 Keen Street, Foxhill, Cambridge, CA25 3VC.

Dear Mr Bintley,

I, like you, currently work in the same field but have recently taken up the offer of a new business opportunity to run alongside my business, in order to maximise income potential and time-effectiveness.

As this move has proven very successful for me, I considered that others in a similar situation may wish to benefit from the same opportunity.

This business requires no recognised skills - only a commitment to succeed. It can be worked on a part-time or full-time basis, enabling you to maintain your tuition business, if desired.

To give you some idea of its potential, our group of associated businesses is now turning over in excess of £ 4 million per month in the UK alone. This is from a standing start three years ago.

You may be interested to know that our business is currently expanding into Europe and may be able to offer you business internationally.

This business has been termed the 'opportunity of the 90s' and offers any participant the potential for extremely high rewards - both financially and in terms of enjoyment - together with a refreshingly ethical approach.

If you are interested in the above and have an open mind, I would be grateful if you would telephone me to discuss this matter further.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Me Caig Partner

It is the most common format nowadays, it is popular because it is quicker. No time-consuming is required -everything starts at one margin. Here is an example of a blocked style letter
