7. Say it in style (6 points)

Barbara Jäger, from a German company, sends a letter to Janet Baker confirming the participation of her company’s employees. Translate these standard German phrases (in brackets) into their English equivalents.

Dear Ms Baker Thank you very much for sending us the registration forms. (A) (Ich freue mich, Ihnen mitzuteilen)

that all our sales reps (12 people) who took part in the workshop in September will also participate in your workshop in December.

As you said, there will be a maximum of 12 people in a group and if there are more people interested in the workshop, they will be divided into several groups.

(B) (Unsere Mitarbeiter (innen) würden es schätzen)

if you could perhaps assign them to Mr Martins’s group, as they already know him from the first workshop.

(C) (Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar)

if you could send us a detailed agenda as soon as possible.

(D) (Darf ich Sie ebenfalls bitten)

to send your invoice to our head office in Frankfurt (P.O. Box 100303, D-60583 Frankfurt), to the attention of Wolfgang Schmidt, our head of accounting?

(E) (Rufen Sie mich einfach kurz an oder schicken Sie mir eine E-mail) if you need any further information from us. (F) (Ich hoffe, bald von Ihnen zu hören.) Kind regards

Barbara Jäger, head of human resources
