The following is academic writing. I have read your manuscript with some attention. […] I will not enter into any discussion of your principles, though you seem to desire it. At present I shall only give you my opinion, that, though your reasonings are subtile and may prevail with some readers, you will not succeed so as to change the general sentiments of mankind on that subject, and the consequence of printing this piece will be, a great deal of odium drawn upon yourself, mischief to you, and no benefit to others. He that spits against the wind, spits in his own face.

Dear Ms. Daley

I am writing to inquire about your latest photocopiers. We are renting a model from you but now we want to purchase one. I'd be very grateful if you sent us a copy of your brochure, and some product literature.
