Sixteen years in London, England, making clothes for Lords, Dukes and other titled people should entitle me to your consideration.
Perhaps you may have some lady friends who need garments remodelled, cleaned, pressed or repaired, who would be glad to know of my shop.
I assure you I will attend to all orders promptly and do your work as you want it.
Yours very truly.
[Signature: M. B. Andrews]

He starts out with an apology and his sentences are involved. His boast about the work he has done for titled nobility abroad indicates that he is a snob—the whole letter lacks conviction.
Sometimes a man-to-man appeal may have the heart interest that strikes a responsive chord.
Dear Mr. Smith:
