Dear Mrs. Michaels,
November 7, 20__
I received your e-mail last week, stating that you will not require my
services for the upcoming tax year. (141) came as a surprise
to me, as I have always provided you with timely service. My records show that
your company received a large refund from the government last year.
I understand that you, like many small business owners, (142)
to use a do-it-yourself tax kit this year. While this method may seem
less expensive because it saves money on an accountant’s fees, there are hidden
costs. It takes a lot of time to gather all the data needed to prepare your own
taxes. My firm, on the other hand, already has this information on file, and we
know the best ways to save you money on your taxes. I hope you
will think (143) your decision to forego professional
accounting services this year. If you do change your mind about this, I would be
more than happy to provide you with the same efficient and accurate service that
I have in years past. Sincerely, Peter Jones
Peter Jones
