Subject: the modification for existing promotional mode
I’m writing this letter to inform you that we are scheduled to modify our company’s existing chief promotional mode. The poor performance resulting from newspapers and magazines we previously employed to advertise our products, coupled with the mounting competitive pressure from our rivals in the market, has forced us to make some changes.

Notice

Welcome to our university ! As a librarian, I would like to provide you with some detailed information about our library.
The University library opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. from Monday to Friday, but from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. Secondly, if you need to borrow books, bring your student card and register first at the librarian’s office. At most six books can be borrowed once from the library. But keep in mind that you can keep the books you borrow just one week. If you exceed the limited time, some fine should be paid.
If you have any questions about borrowing or returning books, send an e-mail to university@163.com. We sincerely hope you all enjoy the study and life in our university.
