To: Clarke’s Auctioneers
From: Eugene Wood
Subject: Consignment question
Date: August 16
Dear Clarke's Auctioneers,
I saw on your website that you are interested in handling items from the public on consignment. First of all, I’m wondering what type of commission you take on items sold. Secondly, I would like to know if you would be interested in a 2002 Toyota Supra car. It’s in excellent condition, with the exception of a small scratch on the top of the trunk and a bit of fading on the seats. It has been driven close to 16,400 miles and is a two-door model. Please let me know if you’re interested and how much you think it would go for.
Sincerely,
Eugene Wood
