Dear Mr Carter,
I am writing to congratulate you on winning the first prize in our ‘Word Wizard’ competition. My company says I need to confirm your address and arrange for the prize to be sent by registered post, or for a courier to drop it off. I have therefore tried to telephone you loads of times to talk about this, but the number you gave us on the entry’ form didn’t work. I also sent an email to the hotmail address which I got from the entry form, but it bounced back, so I reckon the address had something missing. I’m sure that you would like to sort this out asap, and I’m really sorry about the delay which has been caused. I would therefore be grateful if you could get in touch with me on the above telephone number as soon as you can.
Yours sincerely,
Jeremy Barker

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you very much for coming to our school to give a talk about healthy eating. Unfortunately, you left your mobile phone in the school hall.

I would like to return it to you, but I have had difficulty contacting you. I have tried to phone you several times and sent an email, but I have not received a reply.

I have a possible address for you, but I am not sure if it is correct.

Please contact me as soon as possible so that I can return your phone.

Yours faithfully,

[Your name]
