Assignment #7 Free Stuff Letter

Go online and find the mailing address of a company that you like.  If you can find the name of someone in that company that's even better.

After you have found the company's information, go to your Google drive and create a new document.
Rename the document "Free Stuff Yourlastname," and share it with me.

Make sure you format this business letter correctly.  Everything is left justified and there is a single space between your address, date, the company's address, greeting, etc. until you get to the end.  When you finish the letter with "Sincerely yours," or "Respectfully yours," double-space before you type the "handwritten signature" and double-space again before you type the typed signature.

In the body of the letter, write about how much you like the company detailing the products that you use from the company (at least 1 paragraph- 4 sentences).  In the last paragraph, ask the company if they have any free stuff or coupons.
