Our pet food company is anticipating high traffic to our Web site and we are currently searching for a server which will best suit our needs. Please send us an explanation of your serving capabilities. In addition, please outline your charges for standard Web site serving fees as well as personal access to Internet and e-mail.

Dear Mrs. Cunningham:
Last spring, we developed a Web site for our company, we’ve grown substantially as a result of its addition. Due to the growth, the traffic to our site has increased; however, our current server has been unable to accommodate the increased flow of users. When we are not easily accessible, our customers become frustrated. In order to remedy the situation, we are considering changing servers.
Your company is well-known for its ability to handle Web sites with high traffic flow. Please send us the details of your service, as well as your current charges.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.

Dear Mr. Vincente:
Our robotics actuator company has recently created a Web site in hopes of sharing our product line with large corporations around the world. Unfortunately, our site has not had many hits since its creation. One way of increasing our hits may be through ensuring that our site is one of the first listed when customers use the search engines.
We have recently been informed that your company provides an excellent site-maintenance program. Since we are constantly updating information and products, we need a maintenance crew which will periodically update our Web site to ensure an adequate listing spot when the subject is located by various search engines.
Please let us know what your company can do for us. We are interested in your monthly charges, as well as any initial fees. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
