Dear Mr Perkins,

We would like to introduce ourselves.Our company was organized only two years ago.But we are now one of the largest boat companies in California.As you know,your son bought a boat from us recently,and I think you know how pleased he is with our product.Also,John Webb,one of your son’s friend’s has bought a boat from us and,we understand,is very happy with his boat.We are always happy to know that our customers are satisfied.

We are writing to you now because,as you know,your son has decided to buy a larger boat,and we will need

your signature(签字) on the loan(贷款) papers.The loan application(申请) has already been signed by Danny.As you will see,there is one form to fill out,and there are three contracts(合同) to sign.Danny’s 26-foot boat was returned to our San Pedro Dock(码头) yesterday,and we are pleased to say that the new 36-foot “Challenger” will be delivered two weeks from today.It is being inspected by our manager right now.The auto-pilot(自动领航仪) has already been installed(安装) by our mechanic.It looks as though everything will be ready in time for delivery.All we need are the signed contracts from you.

Thank you.

Tony Valention
