Business Letter

Scenario Your company has recently sent a representative to Tokyo for three days to investigate a possible business alliance with a Japanese company. The purpose of the trip, from your company's perspective, was to introduce your business, make business contacts, and create a preliminary draft of a possible contract between your company and theirs. Your company's representative, Danielle MacLeod, has now returned to London, Ontario with little to show for the trip. She has confided in you, her superior, that the two formal business meetings and one formal dinner engagement in which she participated did not go well; she worries that she was very unprepared for cultural differences, and that she may have offended her Japanese counterparts with her Canadian-style business attitudes. You decide to write a letter to the Tokyo business explaining what may have gone wrong and attempting to win back their interest and trust in your company. Feel free to invent details as necessary.
