Given below is a copy of a mail sent by an organization to M/s. ABC Car Rentals Ltd. Review the communication and give a brief account of actions you would have taken if you ever receive such a mail.

Mr. S Mohan President June 15/ 2014 ABC Car Rental Ltd.
Dear Mr. Mohan,
I was contacted by Mr. Ajay Gupta in December 2013 regarding our requirements for car rentals and how your company might be able to serve us. I find myself needing to order for these services for a large international convention we are organizing in August 2014 and therefore decided to contact your company for information. Instead of obtaining information. I am totally frustrated. First I went to your website. "Cool", I thought", I can click on the buttons and get information." Wrong, no help there. so I tried to e-mail you from that site didn't work. Additionally, there was no e-mail address on either letterhead or your website. My next step was a phone call. I called and got a menu. I pressed the number for the sales department. Then I had a wait through another menu to get a sale person. Ajay was a good choice, I thought/ wrong. He's out of the office, so I followed his instructions and pressed 222 for someone else-more voice mail. Okay, then I pressed "O" for an operator. "All I want is talk to someone in sales/" I told the lady who answered. I was transferred to someone who picked up the phone and hung up. So I'll go elsewhere for my requirements.
A. Roy Vice-President
