Attn: All advertising associates

The meeting with Gilman Electronics was rescheduled from Friday, April 22, to Monday, May 25. I received an e-mail from their CEO, Robert Towney, informing me that Gilman Electronics is not ready to introduce the new computers due to production delays. Apparently, technicians discovered a serious defect in one of the microchips and consequently all of the computers have to be re-evaluated. Therefore, we have about a month to work on the advertising campaign. I recommend that we meet early next week - perhaps Monday or Wednesday - to discuss the current ad campaign and determine whether or not we want to change it now that we have some extra time. Please e-mail me by 4 p.m. today with your comments or suggestions about the Gilman account. As you know, Gilman is our biggest client so it is critical that we provide the best service possible.

Sincerely,

Mark Johnsons
Director of Advertising

Proposal for funding of new communications studio at Weston College in Burmingham, Alabama

Background: Weston College has offered matriculating students as well as statewide high school students opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful in a variety of disciplines within the mass communications field for 20 years. With a small communications program of 100 students, Weston is able to provide students with one-on-one attention and instill program participants with a wide spectrum of educational facilities in order to promote a well-rounded student population. The private college receives less than 5% of its annual income from public funds and mostly relies on private endowments for scholarship and facilities.

Proposal Project: The mass communications department, by request of the students, has decided to create a local television station which would provide community members an outlet for public service announcements, calendars and promotion of non-commercial, not-for-profit events. The station would be entirely student-run with the exception of school advisors and mentors.

Needs: To maintain a competitive status within the educational community. Weston College must keep up with technological advancements made in the communications industry. In order to continue to draw in top achieving students, the school should be able to continually provide students with all the educational facilities larger universities are offering without increasing matriculation costs.

Donor Benefits: The Weston College production studio will honor the program's top donors by using their name on the building and they will be recognized during a ribbon cutting ceremony at the time of the studio's grand opening. Other donors will be recognized publicly when the station is up and running.

Dear Mr. Galoob,

Thank you for sending me a copy of your latest ceramics catalog. You have been sending us your catalog here at the museum for several years now, and I always look forward to reading it. I was amazed yet again at the variety and creativity that you have displayed in your work. Your vases and bowls are quite exquisite! They look so realistic. They really do resemble the plants and animals that they are modeled after. I would like to order 50 more of the ladybug bowls. They are perfect for holding sugar cubes, but unfortunately we have had a lot of breakages this year. However, it was the scorpion cups that really grabbed my attention. According to the catalog, they are available in small, medium, and a limited number of extra-large sizes. I am interested in purchasing approximately 25 of the extra-large scorpion cups. If they are popular, I may consider ordering more, if the museum has the budget. Please send me information on your available stock. I would appreciate receiving the information by fax. I look forward to hearing from you, and hope that we will be able to continue doing business for a long time to come.

Sincerely,

Linda Trump,
Manager, Bugs and Beans Coffee Shop

Burnett & Sons, Professional Reupholsters
Enhance the Value and Beauty of Your Furniture!

Provided that a sofa or chair is in good shape on the inside and only needs new fabric on the outside, all that's needed is 'recovering.' When a piece needs work on the inside, including new webbing, re-tied springs, new fillings, and re-cushioning, then a full-scale reupholstering is called for. Either of these jobs requires the skills of a professional upholsterer, and that's why you should choose Burnett & Sons. We are specialists in this field, and have been in the upholstery trade for 18 years. Call us now at (020)7622-9347.
If your old piece has a good frame, there's some significant savings to be had. Remember, good frames don't wear out! If your old sofa frame has lasted ten years or more, it's probably good quality. Reupholstering that sofa instead of buying a new one can mean significant savings. The price of a good wooden frame has jumped by more than 100% in recent years. And they don't make them like they used to!
The professionals at Burnett & Sons use only the highest-quality modern materials and time-tested traditional skills, providing you with results that are even better than the original. You'll get a full measure of value for your money, with quality that's hard to match. Stop by our workshops conveniently located in central London, or stop by our website at www.burnettuupholsterers.com to see our impressive gallery of before-and-after photos. We offer convenient door-to-door pick-up and delivery service and are available to visit your home for a quotation.

Additionally, the New Jersey Chapter is pleased to continue supporting the High School Engineering Outreach Program as part of the conference.

The program includes a special luncheon where students can interact with practicing engineers.

Businesses are also invited to run advertisements in our program brochure or display promotional banners at the venue.

To: Melinda Rose
From: Paula Vance
Date: January 22
Subject: Conference

Dear Ms. Rose,

Thank you for processing our request. A digital copy of the full-page advertisement meant for inclusion in your brochure has been attached. Other marketing materials will be sent in a separate e-mail as soon as they are finalized. I also received the four conference tickets as part of the benefits package. Incidentally, I'd like to inquire about the price of obtaining full conference tickets on the day of the event. A colleague from an affiliated company in Europe is interested in attending, but he cannot be sure of his availability until a few days before the event. He is not yet a member of the AME but belongs to the European Society of Engineers, with whom we will be working closely on a future project.

I appreciate your assistance and look forward to hearing from you shortly.
