BULATS Writing about Product Development

BULATS Writing on the topic of product development

BULATS Writing Part 1

You have received the following email from a business journalist:

I am writing to you because I am working on a story on the next generation of
solar panels and I would like to ask your company about its future product
plans.

Could you please tell me something about what the efficiency will be like
compared to your products now? I’d also be interested to find out about when
you plan to launch the new panels, and what the cost will be.

Thank you in advance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours

Alex Case
