Example of a formal email
Hello,
I read on your web that you offer Music CD Copying for large
quantities of CDs. I’d like to inquire about the procedures
involved in this service. Are the files transferred online, or
are the titles sent by CD to you by standard mail? How long
does it usually take to procedure approximately 500
copies? Are there any discounts on such a large quantity?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I look
forward to your response.
