Dear
PT AryaGuna
I
am writing this letter to inform you of a new product which I believe will
interest you.
We
have just introduced a new compressor, the Excellor II. As your new
manufacturing building has begun to operate at higher capacity, this new
model is well suited to your facilities. With a flow capacity 175 % of the
Excellor I model, switching to the Excellor II will enable you to increase
volume by roughly 25%.
I
have taken the liberty of enclosing pictures and price lists for the Excellor
II and I will be pleased to visit your place to give you a demonstration.
Call me at 021- 7678 if I may be of any service to you.
Yours
very truly,
Tony

Dear Mom and Dad,
I
am writing to share my enjoyable experience with you. I hope this letter will
findyou all well.
Yesterday
my classmates and I went to visit five tourist objects in Yogyakarta and its
surroundings e.g. the Sultan Palace, Tamansari Water Castle, YogyaKembali
Monument, Prambanan Temple, and Borobudur Temple.
We
hired a mini bus. Leon, my closest friend in Yogya, acted as a tour guide. We
departed very early in the morning and were back home at 6.15 p.m. So we
spent the whole day.
All
of the five objects are interesting but Borobudur and Prambanan Temples are
more interesting than the others. Borobudur is a Buddhist temple, while
Prambanan is a Hindu one. A friend of mine said that these two temples were
really wonderful. After I saw them by myself, they are even more wonderful
than what I have imagined.
Of
these two objects, Borobudur is the most wonderful object I have ever seen.
It is much bigger than Prambanan; it is one of the biggest temples in the
world. No wonder it is famous throughout the world. Everyone there looked
very amazed by this huge building. I am sure you will admire it, too. Make
sure you take your camera with you when you visit it next year.
Well,
I will write to you again next week to tell you more about the temples
mentioned above. The two temples were really amazing.
Love,
Joanna
