Subject : Findings on your selling

Date : 9 September 2022

I write to your on the above subject. Based on what I have discovered ,I am writing telling you that
you are making some losses in your business. On some of your items your selling price is bigger than
your buying price.

For example ,I would advise you make some changes in your business so that you make profit. On
exercise books I think that you should increase your selling price to four dollars so that you make a
profit . On sweets you can even make your selling price the same with your buying price, it will now
be called a break-even.

I really hope that you take my advice on adjusting your selling price in your business.
