Attn: All advertising associates
The meeting with Gilman Electronics was rescheduled from Friday, April 22, to Monday, May 25. I received an e-mail from their CEO, Robert Towney, informing me that Gilman Electronics is not ready to introduce the new computers due to production delays. Apparently, technicians discovered a serious defect in one of the microchips and consequently all of the computers have to be re-evaluated.
Therefore, we have about a month to work on the advertising campaign. I recommend that we meet early next week- perhaps Monday or Wednesday – to discuss the current ad campaign and determine whether or not we want to change it now that we have some extra time. Please e-mail me by 4 p.m. today with your comments or suggestions about the Gilman account. As you know, Gilman is our biggest client so it is critical that we provide the best service possible.
Sincerely,
Mark Johnson

To respond to your question about how I became involved with political issues, I knew I wanted to become a politician from the time I was a child. After I began studying politics at Queen’s University, I knew that I had made the right career choice. When I became president of the university student council I had little time left to spend with my classmates. At age twenty-five, as student council president, I introduced twenty new regulations to try to change the atmosphere of the school. I was proud with what I had accomplished, but I was worried that I wouldn’t go beyond student-level politics. However, now after being recently elected as state governor, I am happy to have been given the chance to have become involved so early.

Question 83 - 85 refer to following paragraph:
May 19
Customer Services Office
World Travel Limited
25 Cramden Road
London
To whom it may concern:
I spent most of the last two days calling your customer service lines in an effort to resolve this situation (see my customer reference number, A802234-202), but I have gotten nowhere.
So, I’m writing in the hopes that this letter will get into the hands of a more effective person. I’m really hoping you can help me.

On Monday, May 16th, I was in the airport checking my baggage for a light to Amsterdam, and the young man who was helping me – James Strathcona was his name – tore the handle off my suitcase when he was lifting it onto the conveyor belt. I have since inquired as to how much it would cost to fix and was told it would be at least US$45.00. I have enclosed a photocopy of the quote from the repairman.
On principle, I really feel these repairs ought to be paid by WorldTravel, as the damage was done while one of your people was handling my luggage. However, I am being given the run-around by your customer service staff whenever I call. One young man was even so bold as to suggest that the suitcase was probably worn out and ready to break anyway. I assure you that this is not true: I only recently bought the set, and the only reason it was broken was that it was handled with excessive force.
In all other dealings I’ve had with your company, I have had very positive experiences and I have no wish to fly with another airline.
I look forward to hearing from you soon, and I very much appreciate your help.
Yours faithfully,
Edith Smallwood

Question 86 - 90 refer to following paragraph:
Passage 1:
Hours of work
All employees are expected to be present and on time for every working day. When circumstances prevent you from reporting to work, or when you know in advance that you will be late, you are expected to notify your manager prior to your normal start time.
If you are absent from work for three consecutive working days for reasons of illness, a doctor’s statement regarding the nature of your illness and verifying consultation time and date may be required. Failure to provide doctor’s verification of illness upon request may result in the time off being classified as an unexcused absence and your pay may be adjusted.
If you are absent from work without notification, it may be assumed that you are not returning, and we reserve the right to immediately terminate your employment and include a note in your record stating “voluntarily quit without notice”.

Passage 2:
March 11 , 2005
Dear Mr. Witherspoon,
I’m writing to you in the hopes that you will understand my situation. I trust that by now you will have heard about my situation from my manger. I hope that I can at least be given the chance to explain my side of the story. As for my manager, she is only doing her job, but I do think she has been totally unreasonable in following company policy to the letter and not giving the least bit of consideration to normal
human error.
I was very ill from February 20 to 24 , and I took those days off work to recover. I did not go to the doctor as it was just a case of food poisoning, and all I really needed was bed rest. I did, however, call each day to tell my manager. When I returned to work, she asked me for a doctor’s note, and I told her I couldn’t produce one. That was the last I heard about it until payday when I noticed that my pay was short. I
asked my manager about it, and she told me that I wasn’t being paid for the days I was home sick from work. That’s when she told me about the policy. And when I complained, she insisted I bring it up with you.
Needless to say, I’m very upset that this money was withheld from my pay. It was my understanding that I was allowed to take paid sick days from work, and I’m sorry to say that I had no idea about this policy about having to hand in a doctor’s note. I really need that money as I have a very tight budget this month. It was a mistake, and, had I known, I certainly would have gone to the doctor about my condition. I hope you can understand my situation.
Yours sincerely,
Brenda Wilson

Re: HR Manager Position
Attachments: Christina_Appleby_resume2007.doc
Dear Mr. Blake,
I’m not sure if you remember me. We met at the company Christmas party last year. My name is Christina Appleby, and I work in the information systems department. My manager, Chris Knowles, recently informed me of a position that is opening in the Human Resources department for an HR manager and suggested that I apply for it.
I have attached my resume for you to look at, and I think you will find that my background is what you are looking for. As you will see, I’ve been working in this industry for more than twelve years, the past five of which I’ve been with this company. I hold an MBA from Sloan MIT. The team that I’ve been in charge of has consistently produced results on schedule, and I feel this demonstrates my ability to manage and motivate others.
I understand that the position would involve relocating, but this would be fine. My husband is actually considering a job in the same area as it so happens.
I’d be very pleased to meet with you to discuss my suitability for this position. Thank you for your consideration.

Passage 1:
Advanced Financial
244 Harbor Rd.
Portland, ME
June 22, 2007
Dear Mr. Benson,
I have written to you several times over the past two months requesting an explanation on why you have failed to bring your account with us up-to-date.
By ignoring these requests, you are damaging the excellent credit record you had previously maintained with our company. In addition, every month that you fail to pay your account, you receive a $25 late payment fee. As of the date of this letter, your account balance is $235.04
Unless I hear from you within ten days, I will have no other choice but to turn your account over to a debt collection agency. I am sorry that we must take such drastic action but I am afraid you leave us no choice. You can preserve your credit rating by sending us a check for the amount stated above.
Sincerely,
Ross Gunter
Director of Accounting,
Advanced Financial
