E. ‘Selling’ the product

F. Offering an alternative
A wholesaler is out of stock of the adapters that her customer has asked for, so she offers a substitute.

G. Quotation of terms
This is a reply to a general enquiry in which Mr Crane, Chief Buyer at F. Lynch & Co., asked for certain

This estimate is sent in tabulated form in the body of a letter. It refers back to the exchange of email
