Time: 2 days

Instructions:

1. Select the name and address of a business from the given list.
2. Since each student must select a different company, record your choice with the instructor.
3. Write the letter briefly identifying your energy project and request information for your paper. Format the letter in the exact style given for a business letter.
4. Submit the handwritten rough draft for approval in English.
5. Bring a stamped, business-size envelope to class by Thursday since your letter will actually be sent.
