Dear Mr. Preston:

Nighthawk Seafood is a new chain of elegant seafood restaurants on the Gulf coast. Many of our new colleagues in the restaurant business have suggested that we gain membership to the Association of Southern Restaurants. They indicated that your membership roster is the largest among restaurant associations in the country.

We would like more details concerning the benefits and duties of membership. Please provide us with information concerning your role in networking, public relations, and government policy. Information on general membership and fees would also be appreciated.

We look forward to establishing ourselves as a respected Southern restaurant and hope that your association can be a catalyst in the process. Thank you for your time.

Regards,
[/tab]
