Dear Albert,
I am writing to complain about your proposed changes to our agreement regarding business
flights.
Employees from TNN have been flying (fly) with BusyAir for over twenty years now, and
our relationship until now has been (be) more than cordial.
Each year we have negotiated a reasonable increase in fares and every month our accounts
department has dealt (deal) promptly with your invoice.
I fail to understand why on this occasion you have chosen (choose) to communicate your
proposal in this impersonal manner.
,Regarding the price increase itself, I can only hope you have not made (make) a mistake.
This year we have been paying (pay) on average nearly 80 per cent of the full business rate
and you are now proposing that we pay the full fare.
Since receiving your fax, my colleagues and I have been discussing (discuss) our
relationship with BusyAir and we wish to express our indignation at the lack of respect we
have suffered at your hands.
Yours sincerely,
Benjamin Murray
