Dear Sir / Madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this letter to request you about the office supplies for Brampton, Canada branch. As you know we hired more staff due to the access work load and now it is becoming difficult to survive on the remaining stock and they are demanding some stationery for smooth work flow.

We required some blue and black pens, A4 size papers for photostat, staplers, sticky notes and envelopes. If budget allows we will require some Glue sticks and markers as well.

I also wanted to know about the procedure of ordering office supplies. If there is a need of filling any form or do I need to email anyone regarding the stock up.

Your Sincerely,

Uma
