Questions 1-3 refer to the following letter. 12 Singlewell Road Northfleet, NY 22109 Juan’s Taco Co. 8231 La Junta Way Oxnard, CA 91344 Dear Sirs,
I recently bought three packages of Juan’s taco shells from my local grocery store. I
had bought these to use for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. She loves tacos, and I
had promised that she and her friends could have them at her birthday party.
However, when I opened the packets to prepare her birthday meal, I found every
single taco shell in all three packets to be broken. It was too late to go out to buy
new shells, so instead of serving the tacos that I had promised, we had to order
pizza. My daughter was terribly upset, and her birthday party was ruined. I would
like to receive a full refund of the money I paid for the broken shells. Sincerely, Mark Martin

because we are buying them directly from the manufacturer. However, I have
recently found an Internet dealer who can supply us with unlimited black cartridges
for only $1.50 each and color cartridges for $2.50 each. If you are interested,
perhaps we could talk about this in more detail at your convenience. Sincerely, J. Mascis Print Shop Manager
