The following appeared in a memorandum from a member of a financial management and conulting firm. We have learned from an employee of Windfall, Ltd., that it accounting department, by checking about ten percent of the lat month purchaing invoice for error and inconitencie, aved the company ome $10,000 in overpayment. In order to help our client increae their net gain, we hould advie each of them to intitute a policy of checking all purchaing invoice for error. Such a recommendation could alo help u get the Windfall account by demontrating to Windfall the rigoroune of our method. Dicu how well reaoned... etc.
Sample eay 1:

Firt, the argument aume that intituting a policy of checking all purchaing invoice can help find out the error and inconitencie. There are a number of reaon why thi might not be true. For example, the people who check the account will probably make mitake a anyone ele, intentionally or unconciouly. If they do, checking purchaing invoice will not help avoid error and inconitencie.
