Mr. Fisher,
Zenith Carburettor Co.,
Honeypot Lane,
Stanmore,
M'sex.

Dear Fisher,

A friend of mine has bought a Minx. He says it only does 20 miles to the gallon which is obviously ludicrous.

I have asked him to call upon you next time he is in London. Whatever the trouble is I am sure you can improve matters or alternatively fix him up with a new carburettor for a modest sum.

I shall be very glad if you can do this for him.

Yours sincerely,
