Dear Mr.Hives,

A friend of mine is ill advised enough to want to put his son in the motor trade. According to the man, the boy is the usual mechanical genius.

I believe Rolls Royce have an apprenticeship scheme. Will you tell me if there is any chance of getting him into your firm?

Kind regards,

Yours sincerely,
p.p. T.C. Skinner
