Note: In real life, the first sentence of this letter would be unnecessary. (However, the word 'single' is more neutral than 'spinster'.) Also, if Sally puts (Ms) at the end, she does not have to say she is female; it is obvious.

Note: Fiat could be abbreviated to F., though this is not so common. United Kingdom is a bbreviated, but Great Britain is not normally abbreviated in addresses. Ms is unusual in that English words do not normally like to have a stressed Isl v owel. For this reason, many people say /miz/. 98.2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Bachelor of Science (A) Federal Bureau of Investigation (A) Father (could also be 'French' or 'Franc') (C) extension (teiephone) (C) c ompact disc (A) as soon as possible (A) personál identification number (B) for example (C/D) United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation
