This web site is based on our popular Windows 9x/NT/2000 application, Business Letter Punch.  The complete Business Letter Punch program features four different ways to write a business letter: through persuasion, request, complaint and response, social business.

The current topic, "Your company has regularly purchased storage boxes for its computer software products from one supplier. Recently orders have not been filled promptly, and deliveries have arrived with an unusual number of broken boxes. Write a letter to the supplier presenting your company's complaints," comes from the complaint and response section of the program.

Periodically we will change the topic that is presented on the web site. If you have any suggestions or requests, please contact us.
