Re: Photocopier

Forestwood, CA

Dear Mr. Masters,

After conducting an extensive performance review of all the employees in the Advertising Department here at Dunn and Dunn Inc., we have decided to promote you to Corporate Accounts Manager. Since you started working for us five years ago, you have consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and the ability to produce quality work. The executives feel strongly that your proposal to implement new advertising techniques helped the company to secure 20 new clients in 2004-2005. Additionally, in 2006 you voluntarily created an Office Policy Manual for new employees, which demonstrates your dedication to the company and desire to make the office environment as efficient and friendly as possible. Your responsibilities as Corporate Accounts Manager will include delegating work to subordinates, researching potential advertising campaigns, organizing meetings with clients, and determining the annual department budget. In return for your extra work, you will receive a 25 percent increase in your current salary, seven additional vacation days, and a $5,000 bonus.

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

Re: Appointment Cancellation

Mr. Walker,
I apologize for having to cancel our appointment last Friday at the last minute. There was some urgent business at another job site, and I had to attend to it personally. I hope that we can reschedule for sometime next week.
Also, in your last e-mail you asked for some different options with regard to materials and our turn-around time. The sample books I couriered to you last week are the standard wallpapers that we use - 1.75 meter-wide, printed. But we have also started using a new process with large, floor-to-ceiling rolls that produces a papered wall without seams. The papers are the highest grade, and most have silk highlights. As your project is a luxury apartment complex, these products may better suit your needs. This is a specialty process, requiring special equipment, and so there would be additional charges on top of our usual labor costs. Since you would be doing so many units in your building, perhaps we could offer you a discounted rate on the labor. I will discuss this possibility with our sales manager and let you know when we meet.
With regards to our turn-around time, using standard-process papers we would be able to complete the 15 units in one week. The seamless wallpaper application process makes use of a large roller mechanism; so, potentially, we could complete the work in 3 days. Again, I am sorry to cancel our appointment. Please let me know at your earliest convenience when you would like to reschedule. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Peter Lasco
Sales Rep,
All Walls, Inc.

Joanna Saunders

Vernon, BC V0E 1W2

Jan. 22

Dear Ms. Saunders,

I would like to extend our thanks for your support during the Klondike Historical Preservation Society's annual fundraiser. This year's country fair was even more successful than we expected.

In the past few years, the number of people attending the fair has increased dramatically. It is thanks to volunteers like you that we are able to host such a large number of visitors. Without this support, we would be incredibly understaffed.

I am pleased to report that $85,000 was raised at the fair this year, which far surpasses any record set at previous fairs. The funds will be used in the restoration of historic buildings in the downtown area.

Thank you again for all your help and support.

Jennifer Lumley
President, Klondike Historical Preservation Society

Lynn Hurley is in the news again, but this time not for her acting. The 32-year-old movie star was caught shoplifting from a fancy downtown department store.

Security guards stopped Ms. Hurley at the doors of a well-known department store with over $1,200 of jewelry in her purse. Officials are investigating the case and trying to decide if Ms. Hurley was only stealing for fun or if she really needed the jewelry for her next movie. Bail was set at $2,500 for the release of Ms. Hurley, but so far her family has refused to pay. If convicted of the crime, the actress could be subject to a fine of $10,000 or one month in jail.

Hi, Troy.

As you already know, I’m going on a family trip tomorrow and won’t be back until next Monday. —[1]—. I need you to look after the store, and there are some things you need to do while I’m away. —[2]—.

I already ordered 3 days’ worth of products, so all you have to do is receive the deliveries and sign the forms that Mr. Torri, the deliveryman from Freshness First, hands you. Please organize the products on the shelves like you normally do during the day. Don’t forget to throw out the expired products. Before you leave, make sure to turn off all the power except for the coolers. Lock the cash box and the doors. Place the keys inside the mailbox as always. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. —[3]—. Thanks for your hard work. I will double your pay for the time I’m gone. —[4]—.

Business Kitchens, Inc.
April 19, 20--

Dear Mr. Conner,

I am writing to follow up on our conversation of last Monday. You said you were looking for a new provider for kitchen supplies for your office, and that your particular need at this time was for a large-capacity coffeemaker. I have looked through the coffeemakers we have available, and believe I have found the best one to suit our needs. The primary advantage of the 300X Office Coffeemaker is that it reduces mess. The coffeemaker is filled with water daily. Then, to make a cup of coffee, the user simple inserts a premeasured package of coffee into the machine and presses the "on" button. The coffee is ready in one minute. There are no pots to clean or filters to change. The machine can make tea and other hot drinks as well. The 300X is also the most durable machine on the market.

I am enclosing a description of the machine and price information. We can also deliver refills of coffee and tea to you on a weekly or monthly basis. In addition, we stock other kitchen appliances such as microwave ovens and office-sized refrigerators. Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing such items.

Sincerely,
Laura Baker
Sales Manager

Johnson Research Affiliates
April 26, 20--

Dear Ms. Baker,

Thank you for the information on the 300X Office Coffeemaker. I think it will meet our needs for large-capacity coffeemaker at an affordable price. Our office is large, so I would like to order two at this time. I don't think we will need the regular deliveries of coffee and tea. Our need for these varies so much from week to week that it is better to order them on an as-needed basis. My assistant is good at staying on top of these things, so we don't have to worry about running out. Currently, we don't have a need for ovens or refrigerators although we may in the near future. I will keep you informed. Meanwhile, we will send you a purchase order for the coffeemakers. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Matthew Conner
Office Manager
