Affirmative reply

The beginning of an affirmative reply is quite clear: it is either acknowledgement or a reference to some previous contacts. The middle part of the letter is more complicated; it deals with the matters or questions raised during the previous contact. Here are some possible ways of developing the middle part of the letter:

You have received one the following letters:	An affirmative reply should be done along these lines
1) A request for information	The required information should be given either in the letter or in the enclosed brochures and catalogues (sometimes appropriate explanations are made).
2) A request for some action	The actions which should be made are stated and may be explained
3) An enquiry	An offer should be done
4) An order	An order acknowledgement should be given
5) A request for an appointment	The appointment should be confirmed
6) An invitation	The invitation could be accepted.

The letter ending may contain either a conclusion of what we discussed in the middle part or some courteous phrase.

Dear Mrs McSweeney,

I am delighted to enclose a skyways Holidays Golf brochure for next season.

This brochure offers the widest selection of golf holidays available today. Choose between a holiday near to home in Portugal, Spain or Madeira, or fly further afield to exotic destinations such as the Caribbean, the USA, Kenya or even Thailand.

Free Skyways UK Flights to Heathrow or Gatwick are available to connect with many holidays, and you will find a host of bonus offers at selected hotels throughout the brochure. With guaranteed no surcharges, you can be sure of real value of money. I do hope that this new brochure will help you find the holiday of your choice. Our specialist Golf Reservations Team on 01293 487725 will be delighted to help you with your booking, or alternatively visit your local ABTA Travel Agent or Skyways Travel Shop. If you have any specific questions, please call our Golf Advice Help line on 01293 890572.

We look forward to welcoming you on a Skyways Holiday soon.

Yours sincerely,

Avril Sinclair
