Sally Legazia, IMT International

Itinerary for European Trip

March 14, 9:45.25 a.m.

Dear Ms. Legazia:

Attached please find a copy

of

your itinerary. I was able to make all the reservations for

your one-week trip in England, Germany, and Austria except for two. 1) The flights

on your preferred carriers from London to Berlin were all full for Monday morning,

March 27, both economy and business class. I can still get you on a low-cost carrier for

that morning, or,

if

you prefer, I can get you on an afternoon flight at 1 45 from London

to Berlin on SAS. Please let me know immediately. 2) Your requested hotel in Vienna

does not have any suite vacancies for March 31-April 1 The Edelweiss Hotel, a four

star hotel in the suburbs, does. I can get you a large double room in

your

preferred

downtown hotel. I would advise the latter because transportation on your tight schedule

from suburbs to city could be a problem.

As soon as I hear from you, I will make the changes suggested above or try any new

ones you bring forward. When you are thoroughly satisfied, I will send you the bill for

airlines and hotel reservations. Thanks for thinking of us at EuroTravel.

Dear Sirs:

Our company, Fabulous Photo Agency, recently purchased several pieces of business

office equipment from you. Our invoice is

3137,

and we have paid the bill in full.

After

your

movers set

up our

office, we noticed a few

problems.

First

of

all your movers bumped some

of

the file cabinets. Though this does not affect

the units' usefulness, they do look aged already. Another

problem

witl1

the

file cabinets

is that you did not provide enough dividers to keep files separate.

One

of

the office desks is missing its keys. The invoice lists the desk as 19201. The

last problem is that

one

of the

desk

lamps is not functioning properly. We changed the

bulb, but it still doesn t work right. That item is listed as 19249 on the invoice.

We have shown good faith in prepaying our bill. Please contact us at your earliest

convenience to discuss

how

you will attend

to

the above-mentioned

problems. We

hope

to do future business with you as our own grows. Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

~ ~

This year s cell phones feature a lot of style. However, if you were hoping for big

advances

in

technology, you ll probably be disappointed.

Brokia Bgs: This phone will cost you

an

arm and a leg. However, for all that money,

you do get a phone with Internet access a video camera, and an MP3 player. Our

recommendation: Buy last year s model, which has almost as many functions, and save

your money.

Jamsung 3 : Trying to tell the difference between this phone and the Jamsung 2ooo

was a challenge. Instead of being brightly colored, this one is black. Other than that,

this is really just the 2000. Our recommendation: A lot of money for not a lot of phone.

Don t bother.

Todorola Lite :This one doesn t have Internet or e-mail, either. However, it doesn t

have the high price of the Jamsung, and it s got a great video camera and

an

MP3

player. Our recommendation: As long

as

you don t really need

to

surf the Net on your

phone, this is the phone

foryou.

Dear Tech Magazine:

I have a problem with the "Cell Showdown" article in your most recent issue. In

particular, the author wrote

th t

there was no n

ew

eel/phone technology this year.

In fact, this year's eel/phones have some important technological changes. A new

kind

of receiver w s put in cel phones this year th t affects using the Internet on eel/phones.

t

doesn't change wh t you see on the screen, but it m kes Internet access faster nd

more widely available.

Before you write an article

s ying

there

s

no

new

technology in something, you should

get

the truth first. I hope

th t

you can write an article

bout

this very interesting

eel/phone technology in the ne r future.

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Daniels:

Thank you for your inquiry about our recipe page. It s always great to hear from our

magazine s readers. Here s what we have to say in response to your letter.

First

of

all, we suggest that you always consult a doctor and do your own research before

eating anything you find questionable. That said, people have been eating raw eggs for

years with only a handful

of

sickness cases. One thing to keep in mind before consuming

any is how fresh your eggs are.

It

s advised that you only consume very fresh raw eggs.

Otherwise, you might be asking for trouble.

As for your other question, sherry

s

a suitable replacement for rum or brandy when

making eggnog. However, it s best to test how well the flavor blends with the other

ingredients before preparing a batch for guests. It

s

possible some

of

the other spices

could interfere with the sherry s original flavor.

Attention

All

Employees

Due

to

the unusual cold snap in December

our

gas bill for

the month was the highest

on

record.

In

anticipation of further cold weather in January

and

February Duvall

Manufacturing

is

instituting the

following

energy conservation

measures

immediately until

further notice:

All offices, storage rooms and warehouses will lower their thermostats from

77•F

to

74•F during working

hours.

After hours

all

managers

are responsible for reducing the

temperature

further to 70.F. Upon starting work managers should raise thermostats to 74·F.

This

small

measure is estimated

to

save the company

at least 400 per

month. The

company

advises the wearing of a sweater or vest to work.

All

doors and windows

must

be secured

after

working hours in

offices. This

will reduce

any unwanted drafts from further cooling buildings.

The factories will set thermostats to

70•F

on all shifts. The heat from

the

machines and

human

activity

should

make work there within the comfort

range.

Many

factory

workers

already complain about the

warm

temperatures in

their

work spaces.

Our

heating gas

bill-and

probably yours

at

home-is

a major expense. Prices for liquefied

gas

have risen by more than

30

since last winter . Please help us to reduce costs

and

keep

everyone at Duvall at work.

Advisory on Blue Mountain Mite Infestation

Random

fields by the Idaho State Agriculture

Department have revealed the

presence

of the Blue Mountain mite in

southern

Idaho. Though short of a warning, we are advising all those living in those areas to

be aware of the possible spread of these harmful arachnids.

The Blue Mountain mite inhabits sandy soil. In addition

to

causing damage

to

potato crops, this mite has been known to cause illness in humans. The Blue

Mountain

mite

is nearly impossible to notice, especially as its light brown skin

blends easily

with

of the

soil. It is mildly venomous. All

those

working in or

Possible Blue Mountain Mite Infestation

Dear Sirs:

I think I may have Blue Mountain mite infestation on several hundred acres

of

my property

here in Gooding. I m a potato farmer, and I ve noticed what I think are insect bites from

time to time. However, I ve never seen the insects . They leave a small hole with red dirt

around it I m worried that this could be the Blue Mountain mite, but I ve never been sick

from them.

My crops have suffered an average amount

of

damage, but nothing out

of

the ordinary.

Do you want me to prepare a few samples

of

my soil or potatoes, or will you do that

yourselves? Please contact me at home at 421-8001 , or reply by e-mail. I m awaiting your

response. Thank you very much for your attention.

MEMO

Subject:

Christmas

Office Party

I

just

read a

newspaper article

on

some high-quality, inexpensive

speakers. I was

wondering

if we have enough money in the budget

to

buy

a

stereo set to

play music for

the upcoming Christmas

party

and other

parties

in the future. A

company

called Jazz Hipster makes

great

products, many

of them using new

technology

that reduces

wire

hazards

while providing great

sound. Last year, Melinda

tripped

over a

speaker wire,

and many of our colleagues complained about the poor

sound quality.

I

think

we can use money

for

this from the employees

union

budget

and the

company s

employees

safety

budget.

I m

going to take a

look

at their showroom this weekend. I ll follow up with

you on Monday. In

the meantime, why don t

you

approach

Martha

about the

possibility

of

purchasing a new sound system?
