Re: My Reservation

Hello,

I would like to make an adjustment to my reservation for next month. I am currently scheduled to check in on the 14th of November and check out on the 19th. Unfortunately, I have some important business that I have to attend to on Saturday the 18th. It looks like I will need to _____(1) my holiday by a couple of days.

Please note that I will be more than happy to pay the standard nightly rate for my stay. I originally planned to _____(2) advantage of your special 5-night offer. As I will no longer be at your hotel for this long, I don't expect to be entitled to a discount.

I hope you can get back to me soon to _____(3) this change in arrangements.

Kind regards,

Karl Nourse

Allie, when is your vacation to Cancun? Will you still be out of town on the 18th?

Allie Chen [1:27 P.M.]
Yes, I'll be gone for four days from the 16th to the 19th. Is something the matter?

Gary Perkins [1:28 P.M.]
We have a speaker coming to give a lecture here on the 18th, and I'm checking to see who can help out given that it's a Sunday.

Gary Perkins [1:29 P.M.]
So far, I've already recruited enough volunteers to handle the banquet and the decorations. I'll be picking up the speaker myself, so we just need people to help set up the stage.

Allie Chen [1:29 P.M.]
I see. I'm sorry I can't lend a hand.

Gary Perkins [1:31 P.M.]
No worries. There are still plenty of people I can ask. Someone's bound to be free.

Allie Chen [1:34 P.M.]
If I remember correctly, Ms. Farley should be back from her vacation on the 13th.

Gary Perkins [1:35 P.M.]
Is that so? I'll message her later. Thanks, Allie.

First Global Expands Further
December 28

Electronics giant First Global, which makes components for smartphone manufacturers, said in a press release on Tuesday that it expects to start building its 20th overseas production plant soon. The announcement comes at the end of a successful year, with sales in the fourth quarter surpassing those in the third quarter by 15 percent. President and CEO Ms. Genevieve Durand attributes First Global's growth to its efficiency in manufacturing. -[1]-. "We find ways to do more with less," Durand claims, "producing high-quality goods at competitive prices." -[2]-.

Upon completion, the new factory will be situated near Beijing, China. It will be First Global's largest and one of six of its facilities located in the East Asian region. -[3]-. Just as First Global has done before, it is using its own earnings to fund construction rather than taking out additional loans or selling off assets. It is hoped that the new factory will boost productivity by approximately 20 percent. -[4]-. Construction on the plant will begin in spring of next year.

Rochester Times
Keeping up with the times

ROCHESTER—Train and subway stations across the state now offer passengers comfortable waiting areas, spacious platforms, and better safety features. Sadly, Rochester Central Station is lagging behind. This current situation, however, is expected to come to an end soon. The city government has been negotiating with financiers and the federal government to procure funding for renovating and enlarging the Rochester railway facility, which was built back in the early 1950s. Local government officials hope that there will be sufficient funds to proceed with much-needed updates and expansions within a few weeks. Should financing be secured, starting on February l, the city plans to request proposals from contractors with ideas for making Rochester Central Station a transport facility that residents can be proud of. Plans call for the inclusion of additional retail and dining facilities, enlarged waiting areas, two new platforms, and an upgraded ticketing counter and an automated payment system. Officials are positive that financing will be found and that Rochester will have a fully upgraded station by the end of next year.

Gunton City Council to Consider Blandfolk Superstore Proposal

At a Gunton City Council meeting on May 2, members listened to a presentation from representatives of Blandfolk Superstore about building a branch locally. The retail giant proposed erecting an outlet measuring 9,500 square meters just within city limits on Medford Avenue. However, the chosen land has not yet been authorized for commercial establishments, so Blandfolk has requested that the property be rezoned. Gunton mayor Claire O’Rourke told representatives that the council would discuss the proposition this month and address it at their next meeting in June. A spokesperson for Blandfolk said the corporation hopes the proposal will pass, emphasizing that the development would provide employment for up to 190 local residents.

I am writing in regard to an article printed in your newspaper’s May 3 edition about the construction proposal from Blandfolk Superstore. As a long-time business owner in Gunton, I am concerned. I manage Ballas Boutique, a clothing store in the downtown area, and many of my friends and business acquaintances also operate private shops in the city. Large corporate retailers have forced many smaller stores out of business in other locations where they have opened, even when such establishments have been situated on the outskirts of towns. I’m not sure most businesses like mine will be able to compete without significantly dropping prices and, by extension, the quality of our goods. For now, Gunton is a very vibrant and diverse city, and I hope the mayor and council members will reject the proposal in order to keep it that way.

DATE: May 8

Dear Mr. Pinero,

I came across your comments on the Gunton Herald Web site. Your concern is something the board of the Gunton Chamber of Commerce has been discussing, and we agree that something must be done to protect stores in the downtown area, like yours. On June 3, the city council will be holding a public meeting that some of us will be attending. It would be helpful if you joined us at the event. You could give a short talk describing the concerns you mentioned in your comments. You are welcome to use visual aids, bring supporting documents, and invite others who share our concerns. Please let me know if you would like to participate.

Sincerely yours,

Adeline Morris
Secretary, Gunton Chamber of Commerce
