Madam:

The advent of wide spread environmental pollution that we are experiencing at present
gave us the idea of coming up with the safest drinking water and convenient facilities.

If your canteen consumes at least six 5-gallon containers in three days we shall provide
you with a free unit of water dispenser furnished with cold and hot water system.

With comforts, your students will still be assured of the safest potable drinking water.

Yours truly,
