Dear Ms. Webber,

Thank you for contacting us here at the Daejeon Family Inn. We would be happy to provide you with accommodations during your stay in Daejeon next month. Unfortunately, we do not have any rooms at our inn that operate as suites. However, we can book your family in two rooms that are at the end of a hallway, separate from the rest of the rooms at the inn.

The two rooms are right next to each other, and you would have some privacy away from the other guests. Each room has its own bathroom with a shower and a queen-size bed. We hope they will be suitable for your needs.

If that will be to your satisfaction, we will book you in these two rooms for four nights beginning on June 26. These rooms are $30 per night. This price includes breakfast. Would you like to proceed with this reservation? If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Su Jung Ahn
Manager, Daejeon Family Inn

July 19 - Being a home-business owner presents numerous challenges. Along with the difficulties of promoting the product or service, entrepreneurs also have to organize and manage the administrative aspects of the company. There are many products that claim to help small business owners streamline their projects. Oftentimes these products are overly expensive and sometimes unnecessary. A smart business owner is continually looking for ways to minimize administrative costs and maximize profits. Here are three options that may prove useful:

1. ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising is absolutely essential for a new business owner. However, it can be incredibly pricey. To save costs, try online advertising. Look for Web sites or blogs that specifically cater to the industry or demographic you wish to target. Advertising on sites that have a very specific audience may prove to be effective and yield better results than more expensive, general advertising to a broad audience.

2. TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE - Many small business owners need basic administrative assistance. When hiring someone full-time is cost prohibitive, a temporary agency might provide the answer. Temporary administrative assistants are prescreened to ensure high quality, and they can help business owners manage their email, respond to inquiries, schedule appointments, contact vendors, or write newsletters.

3. LEGAL COUNSEL - The cost of obtaining legal advice can devastate a small business. Depending on the type of business, there may be low-cost or volunteer legal services available. For people working within the arts or in public service, there are nonprofit legal organizations that will take on cases for a minimal cost. In addition, some online sites have sprung up that allow creative entrepreneurs to get general legal advice and tips. The best way to find help of this nature would be to ask a lawyer to put you in touch with someone.

Dear Mr. Gao,

I appreciate the opportunity I have had during the last two years to work as a manager on the sales team at Alphalon Pharma Supplies. I feel that my accomplishments during my time as a manager have exceeded expectations, as I have shown measurable success.

Here are some specific examples of how I have contributed to the sales department this past year.

1. I developed a proposal for a very important client who was prepared to terminate her account. Based on my work, she instead renewed at an even higher level. Her account is now the highest revenue-generating account in the company.

2. I successfully partnered with several sales team members to attract new business opportunities. Last year, I signed on 17 business clients.

3. Given my background as a financial advisor, I was able to serve on a company-wide committee that identified areas of redundancy and ways to cut costs. Ultimately, our committee put together a proposal that was accepted by the executive board and is currently being implemented.

4. I trained three new sales assistants who were assigned to my department. These employees are now successfully working on client accounts and are contributing to the growth of the sales team.

I look forward to continuing to develop my career within the sales department. Give my record of accomplishments and the contribution I have made to the company's profits and growth, I feel that the title of my current position is below the level of work that I am doing. I ask that you consider changing my title to something that reflects my standing in the department and my value to the company.

I appreciate your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Alberto Santos

Raven Classics Dublin, Ireland

August 21

Shadon's Books 8 MacCurtain Street Cork, Ireland

Account number: 209473910

Raven Classics is excited to introduce the terms of a new payment plan for bookstores. As you know, under our old payment plan, we supplied titles to bookstores at 60 percent of their list price, and payment was required before the product was shipped.

This option will still be available to those who prefer it. However, in an effort to support independent business, we have come up with a second option. Under this alternate plan, booksellers will be shipped titles on credit and can hold them for up to six months. If the titles are sold during that time, the bookseller must pay us 80 percent of the list price. If the titles are not sold, they can be returned, and no charge will be incurred. This plan is only available to merchants who, like yourself, have ordered from us in the past. We hope this will enable lower-volume establishments to stock a wider range of our books at less financial risk to themselves.

Of course, participants in either program will still receive our monthly newsletter and promotional posters for optional in-store display.

Due to preexisting agreements with the larger chains, the second option will not be available for titles published in the last three months. After three months, these newer titles will subsequently become eligible for both plans. We will continue to provide free shipping from our warehouse to stores, but we regret that we are not able to cover the costs of return shipments.

I placed an order online on April 5. My confirmation number is 341A7T. I need to make a few revisions to my order, and I'm hoping it is not too late to do so. Unfortunately, I mixed up the quantities for items 103 and 104. I should have requested 20 wide paintbrushes and 30 narrow paintbrushes. Could you please change this? Also, I would like to cancel the order for item 143 altogether. Finally, I'd like to order an additional five packs of item 164.

I was originally planning to pick up my order tomorrow, April 8; however I realize that you probably need time to correct my order. Would I be able to pick it up the morning of April 9 instead? I am scheduled to start a large job that same day, and I will need the sandpaper and the painting tape in order to begin. If for any reason the whole order is not available that soon, perhaps I could at least pick up those two items, I appreciate your assistance.

Attention all managers:

Thank you for your diligent efforts in tracking the travel expenses of the employees you supervise. As you know, we only began this practice in the last year. The decision was made as the company began to expand beyond a size where reimbursement could be managed informally.

We are implementing the following changes and ask that you communicate them to your department. First, it has come to our attention that many employees do not feel that the current daily amount allowed for food expenses is enough. We are going to increase this allowance to $50 a day beginning on October 1. Second, we wish to trim expenses by requiring that employees make advance copies here at the office of any paperwork they will need while on business trips. When employees use commercial vendors to make copies, it tends to cost the company more than is necessary. As of November 1, we ask that you not approve any such expenses.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Lance Shelly
Vice President, Accounting

Dear Museum Patrons,

We wish to thank you for your patronage of the Science Museum of Birmingham. The Science Museum has been a respected establishment within the community of Birmingham for the last thirty years, contributing to science education for children and adults. We would like to invite you to participate in a fund-raising campaign to commemorate our opening 30 years ago. Through this campaign, we hope to raise enough money to expand our offerings at the museum.

We hope to raise at least £20, 000. These funds would allow us to create an interactive wing within the Science Museum that we know children and families would enjoy visiting. Our new exhibit would feature equipment and materials that allow visitors to explore, theorize, and even conduct their own experiments. Should we be able to raise £30, 000, we would also embark on a small renovation project, creating a new front entrance to the museum that would provide better insulation during the winter and help to conserve energy and reduce pollution.

If we meet the ambitious goal of rising £40, 000, we would also be able to add a cafe within our gift shop, something many visitors have requested. And finally, if we are lucky enough to reach our ultimate goal of £50, 000, it will be possible for us to do all of those things and host an incredible traveling exhibit on "Wild Music: The Songs of Life". This exhibit has been at prominent science museums throughout Europe, and we know the Birmingham community would richly benefit from it.

Any support you can provide to our campaign would most appreciated. We look forward to seeing you at the museum soon.

Sincerely,
Laura Jenkins, Curator

Minutes from Science Museum of Birmingham Staff Meeting - September 8

1. Reviewed weekly museum attendance for August. Numbers were slightly low, but this is probably due to people being away on holiday.

2. Received an update on the amazing success of our fund-raising campaign. Many thanks to everyone who assisted with this undertaking.

3. Laura Jenkins will soon solidify the dates for the Wild Music exhibit we will host next year. Paul Jacobs gave some details on the large publicity campaign he is planning to inform people about this exciting exhibit.

4. Work on the new interactive section of the museum begins next week. Jian Zeng went over the plans for this new area. The grand opening is scheduled for December 1. The staff brainstormed about additional ideas for experiments that visitors could participate in.

5. Manik Bhatta reviewed the calendar for upcoming school group visits to the museum. He has hired an additional staff member, Beverly Thompson, to help him with the work of scheduling the visits so he can concentrate on developing curricula for learning programs and inviting guest lecturers.

Common Issues with the YJD Video Camera

From: jerry. pintar@malomail. com

Subject: Issue
Date: May 12

I recently purchased the YJD video camera from a local electronics store. The camera records high-quality videos, and I have been very pleased with how simple it is to transfer the files to a computer or video disc. However, I have begun to have some complications with a couple of different features on the camera.

First of all, the focus on my camera does not adjust on its own. I followed the instructions in the manual, and that worked fine. However, whenever I turn off the camera, the problem repeats itself. Is there a way to save the settings?

Also, despite the fact that my camera is only a few months old, the battery life is very short. I have also tried what your manual recommends on this topic. I feel that I should be provided with a replacement battery free of charge, since my camera is so new. Could you please let me know to whom I should direct this request?

Thank you so much for your assistance.
