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.

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.

To: All Premiere Life staff
From: William Fortright, CEO
Re: Annual charitable contributions

Seasons greetings to everyone in our Premiere Life family! We wish you the very best!
It is at this time of the year that we make a special effort to think of those who are less fortunate. We have made a tradition at Premiere Life of choosing one charity each year to make a charitable donation to as an organization, and this year, we have chosen WorldSight.
For those of you unfamiliar with the good work this organization is doing, WorldSight provides medical assistance and food aid to people who are experiencing crises in areas of the world ravaged by famine and war. They are a non-governmental, non-profit organization, and they rely entirely on private charity.
We were very pleased with your generosity last year in response to our pledge to donate to the United Way. We had promised them $25,000, but as a result of your generosity, we were able to give $40,000 - and no doubt made a difference in the lives of many, many people. This year, we're hoping to get even more staff members involved and raise even more for WorldSight.
Alison McGee, the Human Resource manager, will be organizing the campaign this year. She will be passing out a form which you can use to pledge a certain amount of your January pay deposit, and we will pool all of your contributions and make one donation to WorldSight on behalf of all of you. If you would like to be involved, please fill out and return the signed form to her before you leave for your holidays on December 20th.
Let's all give this holiday season and make a difference in the lives of those who are not as privileged as we all are.

Date: December 21
Re: Forgot the form!

Hi, Alison! It's Jay from Accounting. I'm really sorry to bother you over the holidays, but I wanted to find out if there was any way I could get my contribution form to you. I had it all filled out on Thursday, but I guess I was in a big hurry to go on Friday and I totally forgot to drop it off with you. The ridiculous thing is that I had it in my hand. Sorry about that. I'm really interested in contributing, though. And if there's anyway I could get this to you, please let me know. Perhaps I could courier it to you. As far as I know, they're usually open right up until the 23rd for all those people who forgot to mail their Christmas presents! Let me know. I'll look forward to your e-mail.

Take care,
Jay Allen
