Dear Edward,

My visit to Richmond became a memorable day for me. Mary and you certainly know how to make a guest to feel at home. Mary's meals were delicious and her apple pie was a real treat. I hope you will visit us.

Plan on staying with us in the nearest future and as usual we will have discussions and plain fun.

Give Mary our best regards.

Письмо другу

21 июля 2013 г.

Дорогой Эдуард!

Я до сих пор вспоминаю свой визит в Ричмонд. Вы определенно умеете заставить гостя почувствовать себя как дома! Блюда, приготовленные Мэри, были превосходны, а яблочный пирог — просто чудо. Я надеюсь, что вы посетите нас в ближайшее время, и мы, как обычно, побеседуем и просто отдохнем.

                                    Передай Мэри наши наилучшие пожелания.

Твой Николай Торин

  

Semi-official Thank-You-Letter

September 18, 2013

Dear Pavel Semenovich,

My daughter Emma wants to thank you for the kindness you showed her when she visited the Faculty of Marketing and Advertising, Moscow Commercial College. She has returned home full of enthusiasm.

Emma was impressed by the well-equipped laboratories, methods of teaching and the high professional level of teachers. And above all by the close and friendly relations existing among the foreign and Russian students. She again confirmed her belief that she has chosen the right school.

We would enjoy having you come for dinner and spend a nice evening.

Do give us a call, please.

                                                                                               Sincerely yours,

Charles Taylor

 

Thanking for an Enjoyable Weekend

Dear Mrs Wilton,

I'd like you to know how much the weekend at your lovely house in Connecticut has meant to me. That clean white snow around the house certainly cannot be compared with the slush in the streets of New York. I not only enjoyed myself immensely, but I feel relaxed and refreshed as I have not felt in months.

Many thanks to you and Mr Wilton for inviting me.

                                                                                                       Sincerely,

Timothy Surikov

PUTT BROTHERS PUBLISHING

Ms Sandra Root

1028 Avenue of Americas

New York, New York 10022

Dear Ms Root,

Maria Nelson has been my secretary for five years. I will be sorry to lose her services when she moves to New York next month. But I agree with her decision and feel she is the right person for the position she is seeking with your company.

Ms Nelson is one of those rare individuals who can both follow instructions and take initiative. Her competence extends beyond the secretarial skills for which she was originally hired, she has capabilities to organize team work and manage the personnel.

Ms Nelson put in many hours on her own for working out a document processing system which proved to be very effective. I have no hesitation in advising you to hire her.

                                               Very truly yours,

Joseph P. Putt

Фирма ПАТ БРАДЕРС ПАБЛИШИНГ

14 мая 2012 г.

Адрес фирмы

Уважаемая госпожа Рут,

Мария Нельсон была моим секретарем на протяжении пяти лет. Через месяц она переезжает в Нью- Йорк и я, к сожалению, лишусь ее услуг. Но я согласен с ее решением и полагаю, что она как раз тот работник, который нужен Вашей фирме.

Мисс Нельсон является одним из тех редких сотрудников, который, строго выполняя свои служебные обязанности, проявляет и инициативу. Ее компетенция выходит за пределы профессиональных функций секретаря, которые она успешно выполняла. Мисс Нельсон обладает способностями организовать работу сотрудников и помогать им.

Не считаясь со временем, мисс Нельсон по своей инициативе усовершенствовала систему обработки документации, которая оказалась очень эффективной.

С чувством большой уверенности я рекомендую Вам принять ее на работу.

                                             Преданный Вам,

Джозеф П. Патт
