Fire Damages Pet Food Warehouse

Rochester: April 1st. Late in the evening of March 29th, a fire caused extensive damage to the Huggy Dog Co. pet food warehouse on West 24th Street. There were no injuries. The only employee on the premises was security guard Russ Loupinek, who called in the fire at 9:47 p.m. Fire fighters arrived minutes later and put out the blaze. Most of the loading area was destroyed. The cost of the damage is estimated at $400,000.

Early investigations point to a faulty heating system as the cause of the fire. According to a Hugggy Dog spokesperson, the company that installed the system, AMC Heaters, had ignored numerous complaints about the heating units over the past 4 weeks. Huggy Dog plans to take legal action against AMC Heaters.

23. What business is Huggy Dog in?
24. What part of the warehouse was most affected by the fire?
25. What will the company do?

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

26. What is the primary purpose of the letter?

18 Pine Hill Rd.
Mulberry, Michael
65489

22 October 2007

Dear Mr. Johnson,

We received your request to change the dates of your reservation at the Glenwood Resort from April 15-22 to June 20-28. Unfortunately, I have checked the database and there are no rooms available for those dates. I sincerely apologize that we can not accommodate your request; unfortunately June, July, and August are our busiest months because we offer special summer discounts. I understand that your company is relocating you to London in July and therefore you can't make a reservation for any other date. I would like to mention, however, that Phillip D. Humboldt, the owner of Glenwood Resort, recently opened another luxury resort, Woodshire Retreat, just thirty minutes outside of Mulberry. If you would like to make a reservation at this resort, the number is 1-800-238-948. Or you can make a reservation online at www.humboldthotels.com.

Sincerely,

Richard Kent

Greg Fournier 9:11 A.M. Welcome to RMP Financial Trust's live chat service. How can I help you?
Vivianne Gonyer 9:12 A.M. I was wondering whether an account I have with your bank still works. I stopped using it when I moved overseas, but I was hoping to revive it when I return home permanently in a few weeks.
Greg Fournier 9:12 A.M. May I have the number on your ATM card?
Vivianne Gonyer 9:13 A.M. That's the problem. I didn't keep my ATM card because I didn't think I'd need it.
Greg Fournier 9:14 A.M. I see. For security reasons, I need to match your name with an ATM card number.
Vivianne Gonyer 9:14 A.M. I thought that might be the case. Could you tell me what your policy is regarding inactive accounts?
Greg Fournier 9:15 A.M. What kind of account did you have?
Vivianne Gonyer 9:16 A.M. It was a checking account, and the last time I used it must have been over two years ago.
Greg Fournier 9:17 A.M. Oh, in that case, it's probably expired. Checking accounts are closed if they have not been used for more than two years.
Vivianne Gonyer 9:17 A.M. OK. Can you tell me what my options are at this point?
Greg Fournier 9:18 A.M. Well, you could open a new account, one that doesn't expire for five years. Or you could open another checking account. Whichever you prefer.
Vivianne Gonyer 9:20 A.M. I would prefer the latter. Can I do that online? Or should I call someone from my branch and have them open one for me over the phone?
Greg Fournier 9:20 A.M. I'm sorry, but they will need to verify your identity, and you have to be there for that.
Vivianne Gonyer 9:20 A.M. OK, then. Thanks for your help.

31. At 9:13 A.M., what does Ms. Gonyer mean when she writes, "That's the problem"?
32. What is suggested about Ms. Gonyer?
33. What does Ms. Gonyer want to do?

Helen Gatineau [3:35] I'm sure you've all heard that we're going to be merging with Fresh Food Wholesalers at the end of next month. We will have a meeting to discuss transition plans next week. But in the meantime, I will try to answer questions you may have about the merger.
Leo Kinghorn [3:36] Everyone in the purchasing department is wondering how we will be affected by the change. Are there any firm details available?
Mimi Hanway [3:38] It's my understanding that administrative functions will be carried out in only one building for efficiency's sake. As a result, administrative personnel, including me, will be moving to the Fresh Food Wholesalers' building in the coming weeks.
Helen Gatineau [3:39] That's right. But, we are going to maintain separate warehouse facilities at their present locations.
Jude Mason [3:41] Any idea how that will change my routine?
Helen Gatineau [3:42] You'll stop at both facilities before taking your deliveries to the retail store, Jude. We'll hire additional warehouse workers to speed things up so you have time to visit both spots. They will help you load items.
Leo Kinghorn [3:45] You know, the workers at Fresh Food Wholesalers will probably need to take a health and safety seminar before they can handle meat. I believe that Fresh Food Wholesalers hasn't dealt in meat products yet.
Helen Gatineau [3:47] That makes sense. I'll arrange for instructors to visit as soon as possible.

35. What is the online chat mainly about?
36. What are some personnel required to do?
37. In what department does Mr. Mason most likely work?

To: All Leisure Services Local Directors
From: Derek Gray, New Town Leisure Center Director
Re: Tennis promotion
Date: April 10th

We are trying to increase use of our tennis courts and facilities. At the moment, many of our courts are hardly ever used. If we want to maintain government funding, we need to show that there really is a demand for these facilities. I am planning on displaying the following poster in every local leisure center. Before I send it to the printers, could you take a look and give me your comments and suggestions? Do you think anything should be changed or added?

Many thanks,
Derek Gray

Tennis continues to be one of the most popular sports all over the world. One of the main attractions of this sport is that it can be played by people of all ages, young and old. Although tennis has a reputation for being an expensive sport, it doesn't have to be. A good racket can cost only $40 and a can of balls only $2.00. But where to play? Sure there are fancy private clubs that cost $100 a month, but why not try one of the many public parks and leisure centers which offer tennis courts free of charge and lessons for a very reasonable price? Contact your local leisure center director for information on how you can get involved in this exciting sport!
