Julianna Lopez 10:22 A.M. So, it's confirmed. We're presenting a marketing proposal to AEK on July 18 at their headquarters.
John Brenner 10:24 A.M. I heard! How exciting. I went through the company profile in the brochure you gave us. They could be our biggest client to date.
Julianna Lopez 10:25 A.M. Yes. They have 6,000 employees and manufacturing plants in Thailand, Turkey, and Mexico. They also have suppliers in China, Germany, and Korea and generated over $2 billion in sales last year.
Yvonne Bailey 10:25 A.M. I can get to work on the marketing analysis for the presentation. I'd like to use the statistics in the brochure we were given. Do you think they're reliable?
Julianna Lopez 10:26 A.M. That would be fine, Yvonne. I think the figures are accurate. John and Eric, I'd like you to prepare the slideshow and handouts. Start immediately if you can.
John Brenner 10:27 A.M. Got it. It shouldn’t take more than two days to finish.
Eric Zalewski 10:32 A.M. Consider it done, Julianna. Are we going to run through the presentation before the appointment?
Julianna Lopez 10:34 A.M. Let's do a practice session on July 15. During the presentation, I'll give the main talk, and then you three can explain your roles briefly. After that, all four of us can answer any technical or financial questions they might have. Does that sound reasonable?
Yvonne Bailey 10:34 A.M. I think that works for all of us.

23. What is true about AEK?

Blake Dunlap 10:28 A.M. Hi, everyone. I'm happy to announce that Alstrop's board of directors has decided to open a sixth branch in Cleveland. Consequently, they'd like to transfer existing employees so that the branch is launched as quickly as possible. In fact, I need each of you to submit some staffing recommendations.
Cathy Schultz 10:30 A.M. Would the transfers be temporary? Many of our staff members have lived here in Inglewood their entire lives. They won't be happy about this.
Blake Dunlap 10:31 A.M. That will depend on the preference of each employee. Naturally, performance is also a factor.
Roy Reese 10:31 A.M. When's our target opening date?
Blake Dunlap 10:32 A.M. The branch must be fully operational by November 15 to take advantage of our year-end tire sale.
George Kesterson 10:32 A.M. If you're looking for an office administrator, I think Tammy Roselli would do a great job. She does have a family here though, so I'm unsure if she'd want to move.
Roy Reese 10:34 A.M. And for sales director, Charles Kang would be a good choice.
Blake Dunlap 10:36 A.M. Great suggestions! Any ideas for a purchasing clerk? We will need someone to start ordering merchandise right away.
Cathy Schultz 10:38 A.M. What about Carson Drake? He’s been working in the same position for years and he needs a challenge.
Blake Dunlap 10:40 A.M. That is a good idea. Anyway, there are a number of other roles to fill, and I'll forward you all a list later today. Message me or drop by human resources if you have any other ideas.

27. What kind of business most likely is Alstrop?
28. What is mentioned as a concern about staff transfers?

As you requested, I contacted several hotels to find a more comfortable place for the annual shareholders' meeting scheduled on October 17. Among those contacted, the Treasure Island Hotel does have the facilities that meet our needs.

I booked the Conference Room C which can easily accommodate 200 people; the Abbey Room for press meetings, and the Rose Dining Room where the luncheon will be served after the share holders' meeting.

The following equipment and services are also needed:

- Three TV monitors
- A public address system

Dalton, Fitch, and Cope Attorneys
143 W. 23rd St., Unit 130B, Chalmers Building, 13th floor, New York, NY
August 27th

Reginald Mercer, Attorney at Law
19 Market Close,
Newport, MD55055

Dear Mr. Mercer:
This confirms that we have received your August 18th letter and the draft of the distribution contract you enclosed. I have read the draft thoroughly and discussed it with my client, Mr. Fukazawa. The following initial points will need to be resolved before we can move ahead with negotiating the finer points of the contract:
. Term. The term would need to be at least ten years before my client could seriously consider entering into the contract.
. Unit Price. The unit price would need to be at least $140.50 before my client could consider the contract financially feasible.
. Controlling Law. My client does business only in the State of New York and does not desire to engage a lawyer in Maine, so the contract will need to provide that New York law controls.
. Publicity. My client requests that the last sentence of paragraph 3 on page 2 of the contract be changed to read as follows: "Publicity given to the program or services provided herein, including, but not limited to, notices, information, pamphlets, press releases, research, reports, signs, and similar public notices prepared by or for the Licensor, shall identify the Agency as the sponsoring agency and wil not be released without prior written approval from the Agency."
Please discuss these points with your client at your earliest convenience and let me know if your client is willing to pursue negotiation of a contract along these lines.

Yours truly,
Adrian Cope,

cc: T.Fukazawa

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.
