What would be the first sentance in a business letter about why to quit smoking?

We Answered:

“People always come up to me and say that my smoking is bothering them... Well, it's killing me!” This quote, even though it was said in jest, beautifully sums up how I feel about smoking and why it is important to quit.

NOte: This can be your opening sentence. In the second paragraph, talk further about how smoking harms people. Give some hard hitting statistics.

In the next paragraph, further develop the letter by saying that it is very difficult to stop, but it does not mean it cannot be done. Perhaps you can mention some famous people who used to be smokers, but have now quit.

End the letter by again stressing how smoking is so dangerous, and quitting it is probably the best gift anyone can give to themselves.

Elizabeth Said:

What type of professional business letter should I use in this situation, and where can I get a free template?

We Answered:

That's probably something that would be better started with a phone call. I don't know that there are templates of letters like this... I don't think it's common enough yet.

You would want to call and ask for the marketing manager, and leave a voice mail stating that you want to discuss the domian and url of the web site. Don't say what you want to discuss in detail - like the actual purchase, but if you just leave your name and number you won't get a call back.

After discussing it with them on the phone, you will likely exchange contact information including email addresses. If they're using the domain for their corporate email, then the likelyhood of them selling the domain is very slight. If they're not, then you need to figure out what's in it for them to sell it. It likely won't be profitable for them unless you're willing to pay a lot for the site.

The emails can be informal until the actual sale comes about. One of you will need to draft a contract of sale - it's better if it comes from you, but either way you'll want legal advice before entering into the agreement.

Good luck!
