Select from one table which is not in another

I am trying to select records from a vendor table which is not in a vendor delete table.

I am not allowed to add columns to any of the tables and i am not allowed to delete any. so i decided to make a delete table and select everything that is not in is.

this is what i have and i have to base the select statment on 4 colums rather then one ID as usuall.

Can someone tell me what is wrong here and help me with this.

SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT CompanyID, DivisionID, DepartmentID, VendorID, VendorName, AccountNumber
FROM dbo.VendorInformation
WHERE (SELECT *
FROM dbo.VendorsDeleted
WHERE dbo.VendorInformation.VendorID <> dbo.VendorsDeleted.VendorID AND
dbo.VendorInformation.DepartmentID <> dbo.VendorsDeleted.DepartmentID AND
dbo.VendorInformation.DivisionID <> dbo.VendorsDeleted.DivisionID AND
dbo.VendorInformation.CompanyID <> dbo.VendorsDeleted.CompanyID)
ORDER BY VendorName
