This is an excellent machine which will give you many years of service. We will install it for you. We will even give you a special course to teach you how to use it. But you'll find it difficult to learn. You will soon see how easy it is to store information and to type letters with this computer.

Now, about the payment. We won't ask you for immediate payment. It will be OK if you make a small payment now, and you can pay the rest in three months' time - we will send you a letter to remind you. What's more, we will give you a 5% reduction on the marked price. -And of course, die computer will come to you with a two-year guarantee. But actually, you won't need the guarantee, because there won't be any problems with the machine. If there are, I will deal with them personally. So you want to buy it? Good! I can tell you, sir, you won't be sorry! Actually, I will give you this machine here in the showroom - it's a demonstration model, and it's rather dusty. I will get you another one from the store downstairs. Please wait a moment, sir. I will be back in a minute.
