Hi, Gerald. It's Brendon here. Listen! Mr.

Davidson has asked that I contact you, since you are

considered to be our key figure in public relations. The company's in a bit of a slump at the
moment, as you know, but Mr. Davidson has come up with a strategy to improve the situation.
He's suggested that we send all the companies that do business with us fruit baskets for
Christmas. I think that such a gesture will help generate a lot of goodwill between our company
and our clients. He says it's important that we send each firm a different basket. No one has
volunteered to do this, since everyone claims to have so much paperwork to do. Would you
consider taking this on as your next project? Think about it and give me a buzz. Bye.

Hola, Gerald. Aqu es Brendon. Escucha! El Sr. Davidson me ha pedido que me ponga en contacto con
usted, ya que se considera que es nuestra figura clave en las relaciones pblicas. La empresa est en
un momento de crisis, como usted sabe, pero el Sr. Davidson ha elaborado una estrategia para
mejorar la situacin. Ha sugerido que enviemos todas las empresas que hacen negocios con nosotros
cestas de fruta para Navidad. Creo que ese gesto ayudar a generar mucha buena voluntad entre
nuestra empresa y nuestros clientes. Dice que es importante que enviemos a cada empresa una cesta
diferente. Nadie se ha ofrecido a hacer esto, ya que todos dicen tener tanto papeleo que hacer.
Considerara tomar esto como su prximo proyecto? Pinsalo y dame un zumbido. Adis.
Dear Consumer,

In my capacity as vice president of Trotter, Inc., I would like to take this

opportunity to invite you to assist us.

Trotter, Inc. is considered to be one of the leading information-gathering companies in the

country. We are currently conducting a survey, and you have been selected as one of 10,000
homeowners to whom we've sent our questionnaire.

Surveys that are designed to assess consumer habits are known to be very important tools for
helping advertisers assess their target markets and pursue them with greater efficiency.

Ultimately, no one benefits more from this information than you, the consumer. That's why it is
essential that you fill out the enclosed questionnaire and return it to us without delay.

The purpose of this survey is to find out how you, as a consumer, perceive the influence
advertisements have on you. Are you more conscious of radio ads, TV ads, newspaper ads or
Internet ads? Which of these, if any, do you count on for your important consumer information?
And how is this reflected in your consumer buying habits?

After the questionnaires have been returned to us, the data will be analyzed by an independent
consulting firm. The results will be sent to you, along with a small gift to show our appreciation
for your assistance.
My intuition tells me that you're the kind of person who sees things through and doesn't
procrastinate. I'm therefore confident that you will take this opportunity to assert yourself and
voice your opinion, and return your completed questionnaire within ten days.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
Mr. Mark Eagleson
Vice President
Trotter, Inc.
