Clara Dalton [2:01 P.M.] Good afternoon, everyone. As I'm sure you all heard on Monday, the board of directors has scheduled the opening of the Erik Masterson art exhibit for next month. We need to start letting people know about it, and I'd like to get a sense of how everything's going.
Aaron Cobble [2:04 P.M.] I finished designing the personalized invitations for everyone who attended our last exhibition, but the mailing list hasn't been compiled yet. George, do you think this might cause any problems?
George Duffy [2:10 P.M.] A delay of one day is fine. But the guests should receive their invitations before Saturday when we publish a press release about the opening. So, we need to get them to the courier by Thursday at the very latest.
Clara Dalton [2:12 P.M.] All right. I'll ask Steven to take care of it. Deborah, how about the posters?
Deborah Emerson [2:14 P.M.] They're ready to be printed. Do you have any thoughts on where I should tell our volunteers to put them up?
Clara Dalton [2:16 P.M.] I've heard that Masterson's work is popular with college students.
Deborah Emerson [2:20 P.M.] Oh, what about Randall University? The gallery is within walking distance of it.
Clara Dalton [2:21 P.M.] That sounds great. Maybe we should give a presentation on campus to promote the exhibit as well.
Deborah Emerson [2:22 P.M.] Sure. I'll call the university to check on that.

30. What kind of organization does Ms. Dalton most likely work for?
31. When will the event be formally announced?

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.

Ms. Carol Lambert
Coby Electronics
P.O. Box 2
Framingham, MA 01702

October 27, 2007

Dear Ms. Lambert,

On October 10, 2007, I purchased a Coby 135 MP3 player from your Helena, Montana dealership. After only two weeks of use, the device started to show significant problems with downloading music from the Internet. I made a complaint to the branch manager, but he told me to contact the manufacturer instead.

According to my product warranty, however, the seller is fully responsible for any defects up to 60 days after the purchase of the item. It also states that a customer is eligible for a full refund or replacement with a new product in such a case. As I purchased the product at a Coby's branch, my contract was made with Coby Electronics, not with the manufacturer.

On top of that, since the Helena branch manager was inappropriately impolite in dealing with my issues, I have no intention to get a replacement. Therefore, I am requesting a full refund of the purchase immediately. Additionally, please confirm that you have received this letter as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Mike Hermanson

41. What is the primary purpose of the letter?

To: Meghan Michaels(dataanalyst@datawar.com)
From: Patty Gore(director@dataware.com)
Subject: Salary Inquiry

I received your e-mail about your request for an increase in your salary, which you submitted to the Human Resources Department on February 22. We certainly appreciate the demands that this position places on you, and understand that other companies pay more for the same amount of work.

As you know, however, Dataware is a small domestic company that just began operating in New York a year ago. Therefore, we do not have a large enough budget to comply with your request. As we discussed in our initial interview, there is a possibility that you will receive a promotion and a ten percent salary increase at the end of this year. Unfortunately, we can not offer you anything at this point. In fact, I was quite surprised that you were requesting a salary increase less than two months after the date you signed the contract.

I understand that you are currently looking for other work. If you do not find this response acceptable, then I regretfully accept your resignation.

Sincerely,
Patty Gore
