The coffee shop across the street from your tiny apartment is your haven away from home -- great beverages, healthy snacks, an atmosphere that is convivial but not so lively that you can't focus on homework, and free wifi. It lacks only one thing: some way to print out your homework and other files when you need hard copy. Your college's libraries and computer labs provide printers, but you live three miles from campus, and it's a long walk or an inconvenient bus ride.

Required:
Write a letter to the owner of the coffee shop, encouraging her to set up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Propose that the service run at break-even prices, just enough to pay for paper, ink cartridges, and the cost of the printer itself. The benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop. You might also mention that you had to take the bus to campus to print this letter, so you bought your afternoon late somewhere else.

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Dear Mrs Parker,

I'm one of your numerous customers at your coffee shop and I must say it's really an amazing place and you're really doing a great job.

The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you about the few changes that you could make that'll bring further revenue to you and also be of immense benefit to your customers.

Firstly, I believe that you are aware that most of your customers are young people especially college students like myself. Printing out our school works and other printing works are really a challenge to us. There are no printing shops around and we've to take a bus back to the campus anytime we want to print and this is really costly and Tien consuming.

It'll be worth it if you consider setting up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Apart from the fact that the printing service runs at break even price, the benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop.

When the printing shop is opened, the college students among us will find it beneficial as we won't have to go back to the school campus in order to print.

Furthermore, when people come to the printing shop, they'll also realize that there's a coffee shop there as well, and this can bring about an increase in the demand for coffee which ultimately increases the revenue generated from the sale of coffee.

In conclusion, I hope this letter catches your attention which will be beneficial to everyone.

Peter Williams.
