Salutation Dear Ms. Cole:

Thank you for purchasing your computer equipment at Diskquick Services earlier this year. My
associates and I at Diskquick would be pleased to provide any services we can to your company or act
as a sounding board on your hardware and software needs. We do business with many professional
Body services in the Latin area and are familiar with the challenges of operating a company such as yours.

To familiarize you with Diskquick, I enclose a copy of our latest product listings. Please feel free to call
me or any of my associates on the enclosed list at any time. I will call you within the next few days to
introduce myself over the phone.

I look forward to meeting you.
