Dear Mr. Bingham:
Several months ago we were contacted by the Mayfield Chamber of Commerce concerning membership. We were unable to join at the time but are now currently interested in acquiring membership. The information you initially provided has been misplaced. Please send us the most recent copy of your packet.
We are hoping the information you send will answer the following questions: What efforts do you take in recruiting new and out-of-town customers? Do you have local economic data and business information available to members? Is counseling available for members? What are membership fees for businesses with fewer than ten employees?
We are excited about the prospect of joining the Mayfield Chamber. Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
[/tab]

Dear Mrs. Parker:
Our fresh produce company has recently moved its head of operations to the Baltimore area. We have always been active members of our local Chamber of Commerce and are interested in securing membership here. Please send us more information about benefits available. We are particularly interested in the following points:
• methods used to advocate for local businesses
• legal defense, if available
• committees and events to provide networking opportunities
• ability to provide certificates of origin (for exports)
• membership dues
We look forward to joining you as advocates for locally-managed businesses.
Sincerely,
[/tab]
