Hi, all. I just reviewed the copy of the advertisement campaign for our hotel
that we plan on running in the Kingston Times and would like to request one
change.
Nigel Yalk [1:31 P.M]
Hi, Rachel. What would you like to change?
Rachel Long [1:33 P.M.]
The ad states that the free airport shuttle bus operates five times a day.
However, Mr. James recently added two more runs.
Andrew Rose [1:35 P.M.]
Yes, that’s correct. Sun Air recently started to offer more regular flights to the
city, and Mr. James is keen to ensure that we do the same.
Nigel Yalk [1:37 P.M.]
Oh, no, I sent the ad to the newspaper this morning. The deadline for this
Friday’s issue was lunchtime today.
Andrew Rose [1:39 P.M.]
I've worked on ad campaigns with that news outlet before. That place is
usually quite flexible. I have a contact who works on the advertisement team. I
will get in touch with him and ask if we can make a minor change to the ad.
Nigel Yalk [1:40 P.M]
That would be really useful. I know that more shuttle runs will be a major
draw for many business travelers, so it would be great to promote them.
Rachel Long [1:42 P.M.]
Thanks, Nigel. One more thing that you may wish to check is whether the fax
number you provided in the ad is still in use. I’m not sure whether we have a
fax number anymore.
Nigel Yalk [1:43 P.M.]
Good point. I’ll double-check that immediately.

Subject: London Trip
Hi, Jake!
You and your wife must be so excited about your trip! I loved visiting London. Yes, it
is quite an expensive city, and you can pay a lot of money for admission fees to all the
sites. But I used a tour agency while I was there and highly recommend it.
Admission fees for all the sites were included in the price, so it might help you save
some money. I visited St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace,
and Trafalgar Square on my tour, and the cost was only $65. But I know you are
interested in Shakespeare, so there is another tour which is offered that I would
recommend. You don’t have to worry about transportation or even drinks as everything
is provided. The Web site is www.aroundlondontours.co.uk if you want more
information.
I hope you have a great trip!

Hi June,
Further to your recent request, I contacted four landscaping companies to request
quotations for the work we require to improve the appearance of the area outside the
building. Please find a table attached that contains the full details of the estimates I
received. I would appreciate it if you could inform me how flexible you are in terms of
the budget of $5,000 and the target completion date of November 3.
As you will see from the attached table, each proposal is relatively unique, and it is
difficult to decide which provider to recommend. However, I do have previous
experience working with the most expensive vendor and can vouch for the quality of its
work. I am confident that firm will do good work.

Thanks for your e-mail and the detailed information. Unfortunately, we are only able
to consider providers who are able to complete the project in advance of the targeted
completion date because we are hosting an open house in the middle of November and
it is important that the landscaping be complete by then.
I personally think that the fragrant flowers would be a nice addition and might be more
attractive than box hedges, so let’s go with that option. I want to take this opportunity
to tell you that I have been impressed with the way in which you have handled this task.
Given the fact that you are new to the role, your approach has been commendable.
Please make the appropriate arrangements with the vendor and let me know when you
have finalized the work schedule.

To Whom It May Concern:
Last weekend, I placed an order online for a new bookcase. The box in which the
bookcase was shipped appeared to be undamaged when I signed for the item. However,
when I unpacked it, I found that the side of the bookcase was severely scratched. I have
attached some pictures of the bookcase and the packaging for your attention.
I have purchased many items from you online in the past without incident. As opposed
to a refund, I would appreciate it if you could send me a replacement bookshelf. Please

Subject: Your visit to Christchurch
Samuel,
I have been contacted by a company called Camden Medical Supplies. Please
find the e-mail attached. I would appreciate it if you could meet with the general
manager, Roy Bond, at its headquarters during your trip to Christchurch.
Roy told me that he is available on July 9. Please make the required
adjustments to your schedule to ensure you are available to meet him. You will
need an additional set of product samples for this meeting. According to my
calculations, the total weight of all the samples you will require will be about 27
kilograms; therefore, you will need to take an additional suitcase.
This is a promising opportunity, and there is a strong possibility that Camden
Medical Supplies could become a major client in the future, so I am sure the
extra ten kilograms of weight will prove to be worth it.
Regards,
Brent Cambridge
CEO, Raffles Medical
Mr. Cambridge,
Thanks for the e-mail. The travel booking company informed me that I will be charged
an additional 15% if I change my flight after June 9.
24
When I contacted Mr. Bond, he told me that he would not be available on the day that
he had originally discussed with you; however, he was confident he would have some
time free on the days thereafter. I can use my loyalty points with the Central Street
Hotel to extend my stay without incurring any additional costs. I will extend my stay
there until July 12 so that I will have an opportunity to meet with Mr. Bond.
Regards,
Samuel Martin
