From: Brent Watson To: Marketing Staff Date: October 12 Subject: New Office To all staff members, You may have observed that the demand for our department’s services has increased substantially over the last two quarters. As a result, we have had to double our workforce. Unfortunately, the addition of staff has not produced the expected increase in productivity. After studying the problem, I have found the cause to be a lack of adequate facilities. I raised the issue with upper management and am happy to announce that during last week’s meeting, the board approved a proposal to move our offices to a larger space on the eighth floor of the building. The new office will come with fully equipped workstations for everyone, as well as several rooms for holding meetings and training seminars. Renovations on the eighth floor are expected to begin at the end of this month and last through November. In the meantime, some of us will begin working out of a temporary office space on the third floor. I appreciate your understanding. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Brent Watson Marketing director

Business Today In the spotlight: Heyworth Industries A known producer of high performance protective equipment, Heyworth Industries ensures the safety of workers in the chemical, healthcare, and automotive industries, as well as other sectors that involve the handling of hazardous materials. Founded 30 years ago in Syracuse, New York, it began by designing and manufacturing a broad array of protective garments such as fireproof clothing, chemical resistant clothing, and limited-use and disposable clothing. Over the years, these products became widely known and used by companies not only within the United States but all over the world. As a result, Heyworth Industries developed from a small local business into a multinational corporation. To meet rising client demand, Heyworth Industries established its first overseas headquarters in Toronto, Canada. Two years after that, it opened a factory in Guadalajara, Mexico, to increase its production capacity. Last year, another facility began operations in Shanghai, China, which helped in the manufacturing process while at the same time lowering costs. Heyworth Industries also boosted its logistics system by building a warehouse in Birmingham, Alabama. Finally, a shipping and distribution center was opened in Chicago, Illinois, to handle the shipment of products to various locations in the United States. In addition to the continuous improvement of its facilities, Heyworth Industries has made the placement of orders easier for customers. Orders are now received through its toll-free hotline at 1-800-555-2948, by fax at(315)555-2950, and through its Web site at www.heyworth.com.

To: Basil Argyros From: Ophelia Persakis Date: August 23 Subject: Sign Permit Application Dear Mr. Argyros, I am writing on behalf of my company, Victrix Travel Agency, about the sign permit application that we submitted to your office on August 20. We are planning to have a booth at the Pygmalion Travel Festival to promote some of our new package tours. The two banners that we intend to use at the festival have just been delivered to our office from the printer. Could you please dispatch one of your representatives to our agency to inspect the material as soon as possible? I would bring them to your offices myself, but they are too large to transport easily. We need the banners to be approved by the city’s deadline on September 1. Please call me directly at the number indicated in our application to let me know when someone will be available. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, Ophelia Persakis

Promotional Offer Dear Mr. Bushnell, I am the sales manager of Zoet Bonbon Company, a chocolate manufacturer specializing in hand-finished chocolates and other cocoa-based products like chocolate drinks, brownies, and cookies. You can find our products sold in malls and supermarkets in Belgium, France, the UK, and the Netherlands. We are pleased to say that this year we are expanding our operations into the Asian market, starting in Japan and South Korea.

That was why we were pleased to find out that your company has such a huge selection. We also know that you offer a special promotion to new clients. While Zoet Bonbon only requires 9 tons of products for this year, we are hoping that you will provide us a 20 percent discount if we sign a five-year contract. Let me know if this is possible. I would appreciate it very much if you could provide us with more information about your services. Please contact me directly at(+32)555-8169 as soon as possible. Thank you. Liesbeth Weidman

To: Bertram Kiersted From: Adriana Handsel Date: March 16 Subject: Price Inquiry Dear Mr. Kiersted, My name is Adriana Handsel and I am the owner of Forseti Bed-and-Breakfast, located at 8261 Jostein Road near Roskilde. Your business was recommended to me by my associate, Damian Jantzen, who has been your client for the last five years. He vouched for your reasonable prices and competent staff. I would appreciate it if you could send me a quote for the weekly cleaning of the 50-meter pool at my establishment. Is it possible for the first cleaning to be scheduled next week, specifically on March 25? I would like to personally meet the crew in charge and introduce them to my assistant, who will be overseeing their work in April while I am away on a business trip. Thank you, and I hope to receive a response soon.

Once again, thank you, and I look forward to doing business with you. Yours truly, Bertram Kiersted Manager Laufey Pool Cleaners
