MEMORANDUM
Liberty Legal Services 302 Pine Street, Suite 2300
Los Angeles, CA 80214

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to introduce the newest member on our staff. Andrea Langley comes to us
straight out of Hanfard Law School, where she graduated at the top of her class. As is
typical of our new lawyers, she will spend her first six months here working with various
people in the office.
This month Andrea will be working with Karen Jackson in our real estate division. Next
month she will work with Larry Dean in licensing. That is as far as we have her schedule
planned. If any of you have some time to spend with Andrea and have some interesting
projects coming up, please let me know and we may be able to arrange for her to work
with you. Please keep in mind that we do not want an intelligent and eager young lawyer
like Andrea doing busy work. Her mind is much more useful to us than that.
Please take a moment to stop by Andrea’s desk and introduce yourselves. And
congratulate her for passing her exam.
Thanks,
Scott Hartman
Senior Partner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I need you to do a big favor for me. There’s a package sitting on my desk that needs to be
sent to the London office. They had asked me to edit our annual report before it goes to
press and they need it back this week. The manuscript is packaged and addressed; it
needs to be sent with some kind of express mail service.
Please go online and look at the In-A-Flash Delivery Service site
(www.inaflashdelivery.com).

Enter the destination (London office), how much it weighs (1 pound), when you need it
to arrive (overnight). You can pay for it online and they’ll automatically send someone
over to the office to pick the package up. Make sure you print a receipt when you pay for
it, and make sure you get a receipt when the package gets picked up. The package weighs
about a pound. It needs to arrive in London by Friday.
I have meetings all day and won’t be in the office until around 4p.m. Can you please see
that the package goes out this morning? Once it’s been sent, can you send Peggy an e-
mail and just let her know the package is out the door and that she can expect it before
Friday?

Thanks,
Jason
