Limiting Paragraph Length to Achieve Conciseness – pg. 80

As you know, we use electronics to process freight and documentation. We are in the process of having
terminals placed in the export departments of some of our major customers around the country so they
may keep track of all their shipments within our system. I would like to propose a similar tracking system
for your company. We could handle all of your export traffic from your locations around the country and
monitor these exports with a terminal located in your home office. This could have many advantages for
you. You could generate an export invoice in your export department, which could be transmitted via
the computer to our office. You could trace your shipments more readily. This would allow you to
determine rating fees more accurately. Finally, your accounting department would benefit. All in all,
your export operations would achieve greater efficiency.
