Dear Mr.Russell Sharp,

Many thanks for your letter. We are sending you off today a sample of oil which has run in a gearbox for about 10 hours. The test is still continuing, and we will expect you any time on Friday, when you can have a look at the gearbox either in the car or in the Fitting Shop depending whether the test is finished.

Yours sincerely,
