Dear Mr Fiddle,

Thank you very much for your letter of        and C.V., which we
read with great interest. Your          from the University of
Dullshill and relevant        of working with composers made you
a very strong        and it is therefore with regret that I must inform you that we are unable at this time to offer you a permanent        as concert violinist. However, I have        you to the board and there is a possibility of a        post becoming vacant in the near future. If you would provide the names and addresses of two        the board will contact you to let you know if you have been successful. The details of your letter will, of course, remain strictly confidential.

Yours sincerely,
P. Trumper
