A student wrote a letter to a powder coating company requesting brochures and illustrations about fluorocarbon coating of structural aluminum materials to help with a research paper that is due on February 16th. The company responded by sending two brochures about fluorocarbon coating as requested. They explained that fluorocarbon coatings are made through a process called fluorination that makes the carbon-fluorine bonds very strong, stable, and resistant to high temperatures. The coatings can be used on pans and cooking utensils to make them non-stick.

Attention: Mr. Harvey Henderson, Manager, Powder Coating Department
Dear Sir:
Subject: Fluorocarbon Coating of Structural Aluminum Materials
Due to my desire to accomplish my research paper to be submitted on February
16, 2007, I write this letter to ask for a brochure and illustrations about
Fluorocarbon Coating of Structural Aluminum Materials. With that brochure and
illustration, I can gather such pertinent data that I need regarding on that topic.
I appreciate your response about this matter.
Very Truly Yours,

To Whom It May Concern:
Upon receiving your letter, I am glad that our company serves as an aid to
your research paper. I have a complete portfolio of the Fluorocarbon Coating of
Structural Aluminum Materials that you are searching with.
A process called fluorination in which atoms of hydrogen in hydrogen
carbons are replaced with fluorine atoms makes fluorocarbons. The resulting
carbon-fluorine bonds are extremely strong and fluorocarbons are usually very
stable, inert and resistant to high temperature. They can be used in coating pans
and other cooking utensils to make them non-stick.
Enclose are two brochures that you are requesting. However, I am sorry of
being unable to provide illustrations because of their in availability.
Hoping for a good outcome of your research paper.
Sincerely Yours,
Harvey Henderson
