The Principal of Green Valley School, Jaipur, is ordering forty steel chairs and ten tables for the school hall from Sharma Furniture House. Choose the most appropriate closing line for the letter:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Kindly send the items by the end of this month.
A closing line ends the body of the letter. In an order letter, it often asks for the goods to reach by a fixed date. This line does that politely.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: I am writing to place an order for the following items. — Incorrect. It is an opening line. It states the purpose of the letter, so it begins the body.
Option 3: Please send us your latest price list and catalogue. — Incorrect. It belongs to a letter of enquiry. The Principal has already chosen the items.
Option 4: We regret to say that the chairs reached us badly damaged. — Incorrect. It belongs to a letter of complaint. The chairs have not been sent yet.
