You have just rented an unfurnished flat and a friend has told you that the Opportunity Shop in the shopping centre has cheap second-hand furniture.

Model Answer

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have just arrived from overseas and purchased a flat which needs some furniture. A friend has recommended me your store and he and told me that you sell budget-friendly second-hand furniture and I am writing to inquire about a few of them that I intend to purchase.

Regarding my intention to purchase furniture, I would like a single bed, a kitchen table, four chairs, a cupboard for clothes, a bookcase and a wooden cabinet. If you sell home appliances, I would like a microwave oven, a television set and a rice cooker. The furniture must be in good condition and the electronic goods must be branded products with at least six months valid warranty remaining.

I would really appreciate it if you could inform me of the availability of those items along with their prices and details. I hope you can offer a good bargain as I am looking for something cheap. If you do not supply electrical goods, can you recommend another shop which does? Also, could you let me know when can I come and inspect the items in person?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Garcia Hall
