    Dear Chris,

    Off the top of my head here are a few more links

    1. Companion website the book "Working with Specialized Language"

    http://www.routledge.com/textbooks/0415236991/links/links.html

    2. The PolyU English Department Language Bank

    http://langbank.engl.polyu.edu.hk/indexl.html

    3. Mark Davies' VIEW service (finely definable registers):

    http://view.byu.edu/

    4. Business Letter Corpus:

    http://ysomeya.hp.infoseek.co.jp/

    I'm sure there is a lot more.

    Regards,

    Przemek
