Drafting: How To Do It
LETTER TO MR PERRY: DRAFTING
Now that you know what drafting is all about, you can draft the letter to Mr Perry.
To do this, you need to have your plan with you so you can write according to your plan. You also need a pen and paper.

Don＇t edit.
LETTER TO MR PERRY
Use the information on this screen to draft a letter.

Situation:
Our customer, Mr Robert Perry, deposited a cheque through ＇Quick Deposit＇ into his Premier account. Unfortunately, the name on the cheque (the bearer＇s name) was not exactly the same as the name on the account. The name on the cheque was Mr Robert Pery (not Perry). As a result, the money was not credited to Mr Perry＇s account.

Solution:
Mr Perry needs to ask the drawer to write another cheque, making sure the name is exactly the same as on the account card. Then, the money can be deposited into this account.

Account Details:
Name: Mr Perry
Address: Flat 3A, Bayshore Tower, Mary＇s Point, Vancouver
Account No.: 613 556556 888
Cheque No.: 60263
Payee Name: Mr R Pery

When you finish, write "First Draft" on the top margin of your letter. You＇ll work on the draft later in this chapter and also in Chapters 4-6 and 8.
