V． Friendship Bookstore
472 Dongfang Road
August 16, 1987
Dear Mr. Cooper,
I work at the Friendship Bookstore on Dongfang Road where you often come to buy books. The other day when you bought a dictionary at our bookstore I make a mistake about the price. You looked at two different editions of the same dictionary, one costing 30 yuan and the other 21 yuan. you took the 21 yuan one but I accepted 30 yuan from you. I found out my mistake only after you had left. Will you please come to the bookstore to get your change or to return your dictionary and get a 30 yuan edition instead? I apologize for this trouble .
Yours truly
Li Hua
