Your seminar work for this semester consists of two business letters.

These will take the form of correspondence between two parties, i.e. you will choose to cooperate with a colleague from your seminar group.  

One in the pair will initiate the correspondence by sending the colleague a business letter dealing with a particular issue concerning his/her business (for sample types see below), to which the other will reply. For the second set of letters you will continue the correspondence dealing with the issues more specifically or focusing on a different topic. The letters will be numbered 1,2,3 and 4 according to the logical sequence and will bear the name and UČO of the author.
