&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Director of Customer Services&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;(or Director of Sales/Marketing or whoever named in your contract to handle refund requests)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Ryland Homes&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Any street&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Anytown, Any state +Zip&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;My name is XYZ.&amp;nbsp; On August 26, 2005, I paid a sum of $&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; to your company as earnest deposit money on a property located at any street number, any town, state + zip code. The sales contract that I signed with your company clearly states that I will be entitled to a refund of my deposit if I cannot get an approval for my mortgage. On January 1, 2006 (pick a date), I was informed by the financing institution (specify the name) that my mortgage financing application was not approved. On January 3, 2006 (pick a date), I informed Mr. So and So, your real estate broker that I would need to cancel my contract since I could not get the proper financing. I was promised that my refund would be forthcoming.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;It is now July, and I have yet heard anything from your company regarding the refund of my deposit.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;With this letter, I would formally request that your company refund to me my deposit as soon as possible&amp;nbsp;per the terms of the sales contract. Please send the refund to the following address:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Mr. XYZ&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Any street&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Anytown, Anystate +Zip Code.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Thank you very much for your prompt attention to my request.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;XYZ&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;Notes&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;I donât know whether this letter would help you. There was scant information given in your sample letter. If you signed a contract in last August, and you have not been given back a deposit when you informed the company of your inability to obtain approval for your mortgage, then there is something rather amiss between you and the real estate company. I hope that you did in fact inform verbally someone at Ryland Homes&amp;nbsp;once you knew that your mortgage application was not approved. Your real estate broker should have taken the initiative to handle your refund promptly.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#333333&gt;I suggest that you contact a real estate attorney if you donât get any refund from the company.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Two sample letters - do the job?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TwoSampleLettersDoTheJob/blzmx/post.htm#139227</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Sep 2005 11:07:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:139227</guid><dc:creator>Dmitrij</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;hi nona the brit,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Thank you very much for your attention to my letters. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;I rewrote my second letter according to your suggestions. I also dared to&amp;nbsp;insert my own&amp;nbsp;corrections&amp;nbsp;which, I believe, might&amp;nbsp;be also helpful.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;TASK 2&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;You hired a car from a car hiring company. You were involved in a minor car accident. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Write a letter to the hiring company about how the accident happened since they need to provide the information to the insurance company. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;a: You need to mention and explain the accident&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;b: You need to include the information on when you hired the car&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;c: You need to indicate what measures you took after the accident.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;SAMPLE LETTER&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Dear Sir/Madam, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;I am writing you to explain a minor accident that happened with the car I hired from your company on 12 October. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;The car was a white Ford Sierra with the registration number QAZ 123 and engine number HTA 4563727798. This morning I pulled out of the parking lot into the street and took a left turn unaware of another car coming my way from the opposite direction. I swerved from a head-on collision but not fast enough to avoid damage to the right headlight of my car. After the accident, I got out of the car to check if anything else had been broken. Obviously, everything except the shattered headlight was in order.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;The other car had a few scratches on its front bumper so the driver agreed to be paid on the spot. I reported the details of the accident to the police. I also took a few photos of the scene which I enclosed with this letter.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Tomorrow, at 2.00 pm, I will return the car to your agency. I would like to apologise for the inconvenience I might have caused you.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;*** &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

It was taken from a sample fund-raiser for a hospital picnic. Itâs not totally appropriate â clumsy and not always believable. Good luck with it. Post again if you can use it and want help tailoring it further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 10, 2001&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Robert Christian&lt;br /&gt;Chairman&lt;br /&gt;4th Annual Meadowbrook&lt;br /&gt;Greek Community Literacy Committee&lt;br /&gt;1105 Carling Ave., Suite 1501&lt;br /&gt;Ottawa, ON, K2G 1P8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Robert:&lt;br /&gt;The President, the Chairman, and the Board of Directors have each asked me to make sure that you receive our collective appreciation for the wonderful job you and your committee did in organizing a generous trust to enhance the appreciation of literature within the Greek community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As everyone knows by now, the projects to be funded by your generous trust needed at least twice what resides in our treasury. With growing interest in literature, we anticipate that our own efforts would have proven to be inadequate gestures after too many more years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all well aware that a viable and bright future is assured for the Greek Community Literacy Project by virtue of your generous trust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A number of our community donors have telephoned to say how much they and their families appreciate your generosity and that they are already planning for next yearâs writersâ festival. This enthusiasm has never been evident before and it means that we can already count on some major additional sponsorships for next year. An increase in Ad hoc donations will really ease the burden of next yearâs salary/reimbursement program and augers well for another record-setting number of college acceptances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, we sincerely thank you for your selfless gifts of time, energy, and organizational skills in making this the most generous trust recorded for the promotion of literature in our communityâs history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Yours sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plato&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
