Dear Ms. Shirey,

I drove by one of the houses that you suggested to me on the way home from work
yesterday. It's a convenient location for me since I work at a nearby bank. The house has
great curb appeal with its nice brick work. I also really like that it has a detached garage.

However, I am slightly confused. I have seen two different prices listed for this house, one on
your real estate company's website and the other on a flyer outside the property. The flyer
lists the price as $5 ,000 more than the website does. Which one of these prices is accurate?
Anyway, would you be able to set up a time for me to view the inside of the house?

Thanks .

I'm glad that you are interested in this property. I apologize for the confusion regarding the
listing price. The higher price on the flyer is incorrect as it does not reflect the recent price
reduction . The correct price is the one listed on my company's website .

I would be happy to set up a time for you to view the interior of the house. Just let me know
which days and times you are available this week and I will speak to the owner and schedule
an appointment.

In the meantime, if I can answer any other questions, please feel free to call me at 804-555-

Dear Red Hill, Customer Service Department
I am writing to compliment Red Hill Publication on its excellent service and commitment to its
quality. I recently ordered the guides to London, Switzerland, Italy and Paris in preparation for
a trip to Europe. I paid the charge for regular shipping and was pleasantly surprised when my
order arrived in just four days. When I opened the box, I was even more delighted. The books
were outstanding! I was impressed with the beautiful layout and breathtaking photographs
even before I left for my vacation. When I arrived at my destination, I quickly discovered how
wonderful they truly are.
Every detail was accurate and the guides covered not only famous, must-see sights, but also
many little-known places that turned out to be very worth a visit. Had I not ordered books from
Red Hill, I am sure I would have missed some worthwhile sightseeing opportunities.
Please cour1t me as a new loyal customer. I have already recommended your books to friends
who are planning trips abroad and will continue to do so.
Sincerely,
Silvia

Dear customer,

Our small, child's raincoats in blue are out-of-stock. We took the liberty of
sending one in red because you stated that you need the shipment to arrive
before this weekend when you and your son are going camping. All other
items should be enclosed, as ordered. You did not identify a color for the
Deluxe Pack so we shipped it in black. We tried to call you about both the color
of the Bluebird Pack and the Deluxe Pack. A message was left on your phone .
If your order is over $200, shipping is free. Have a wonderful time camping!

Re: Invoice #4527

Date: September 19

I am return ing the red child"s raincoat using the return label provided. My son is in

a blue phase and will wear nothing else . He and I will shop retail for a blue coat on

our way out of town. I am otherwise very happy with your products and service. We

assembled the tent in the living room to avoid any surprises while camp in g, and my

son slept in it last night. It meets with his approval.

you a check for the correct amount.
