Subject: Production for machinery for Machine shop x

As you know the company is contemplating opening a new machine shop in the near future. Our operations have been expanding so rapidly that such a development now appears inevitable.

There are a number of questions, which we need to be thinking about and I would be grateful to hear you opinion on the idea.

1.As to the choice of new machinery I would like to know whether you think we should buy or hire new equipment.

2. Then I would like to hear your proposals on which machinery we should consider acquiring.

3. Closely connected with the purchase or hire of machinery is the matter of maintenance. We also need to be discussed. How many new staff will be required, for example?

4. At the same time I would appreciate it, if you could provide me with estimates of the probable working life of the equipment, which you propose.

Could you please let me have your preliminary thoughts on the questions in time for our meeting next week?
