【正确答案】Question 4/Letter
Dear Mrs Cardew
I am writing regarding your invitation to our company to give a presentation at your college. I am Deputy Head of Finance here, and would be pleased to give the presentation.
I understand that the presentation will be open to all of your students, and I hope that the following topic will be of general interest. I propose to talk about the importance of careful financial management, focusing on the potentially disastrous results of poor financial, managerial and ethical decisions. They affect both the businesses which make them, and the communities in which those businesses are located. I shall include many genuine examples from the world of business, which will reinforce the importance of the subject.
This will, I hope, show your students that finance does not simply consist of number crunching', and will give them some understanding of the legal and ethical principles involved. In addition, I intend to present the students with practical problems to solve, as a follow-up to the presentation, and this activity should help them to apply principles and develop their judgement.
The whole session will last around two hours. I would be grateful if it could be held in a room with tables which the students could sit round in groups of about six, and I would also like an OHP to be available, please.
With many thanks.
Yours sincerely
Karen Petherick
