Your $  $incerely, 

The next day, you received this letter of reply :

Oh my dear: 
I kNOw you have been working very hard. NOwadays, NOthing much has changed. You must have NOticed that our company is  NOt doing NOticeably well as yet. 

NOw the newspaper are saying the world`s leading ecoNOmists are  NOt sure if the United States may go into a NOther recession. After the 

NOvember presidential elections things may turn bad.  

I have  NOthing more to add  NOw. You kNOw what I mean.
