Pinkella Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi I want to write a letter to all the estates in this country, I want to send it to the head Game keeper or whoever is in charge of purchasing. How do I address them? ie Estate manager? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi It is my experience that most estates of any reasonable size are likely to have an Estate Manager, to whom the Head Keeper will 'report' to. It should be possible to get the name of the EM failing which I would suggest the letter is addressed to the EM and then 'Dear Sir/Madam' (you never know!)

hushpower Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Precourmant department is the modern term/speak for purchashing depts ,depends how big and modern the estates are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJon Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Or find a company that already sell to most the estates and/or contact them each year before shooting season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieT Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi It is my experience that most estates of any reasonable size are likely to have an Estate Manager, to whom the Head Keeper will 'report' to. It should be possible to get the name of the EM failing which I would suggest the letter is addressed to the EM and then 'Dear Sir/Madam' (you never know!) L If I receive a letter addressed to Dear Sir or Madam it goes straight in the bin, the same as all the other circulars. If someone is so lazy that they can't be bothered to find out my name or gender they don't deserve my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkella Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks guys, a bit more effort could make all the difference I'll get my mum started on this Monday She's writing the letter for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitfitter Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hope its not rude to ask but I come within the category of people you are set to write to just what is it that your selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnerbob Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Procurement is correct, if you are going to be writing letters and all. You're at it again Mongrel.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 You're at it again Mongrel.. . Pinkella has stated she wants to write a letter, all I've done is correct a potentially important spelling mistake. Such is life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Well, your Mum's going to be pretty busy writing a letter to "all the estates in this country", jeez, there must be thousands of them, your mum must think a lot of you ... You say you live in Coventry, smack bang in the middle of England, what if you get an offer from an estate in Cornwall, then another one from Northumberland, how would you deal with that..?? You haven't said what will be in the letter..?? If it's pigeon shooting permission that your after, it's far better not to write a letter but to call in and have a word with the farmers on the estate, most estate managers couldn't care less about the pigeons, they leave it to their tenant farmers to sort under their tenancy agreements. Forget about letter writing, they'll all go straight in the bin, wait until you see pigeons hammering a crop, then approach the right person, more often than not they'll give you a days shooting.

-Mongrel- Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Cat, she makes and sells traps so I'd suspect it's tied up with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Cat, she makes and sells traps so I'd suspect it's tied up with that. Doh....silly me, I thought it was a pigeon shooting forum.... I should have looked at her profile first. Cat.
