Dear Mr. Galoob,
Thank you for sending me a copy of your latest ceramics catalog. You have been sending us your catalog here at the museum for several years now, and I always look forward to reading it. I was amazed yet again at the variety and creativity that you have displayed in your work. Your vases and bowls are quite exquisite! They look so realistic. They really do resemble the plants and animals that they are modeled after. I would like to order 50 more of the ladybug bowls. They are perfect for holding sugar cubes, but unfortunately we have had a lot of breakages this year. However, it was the scorpion cups that really grabbed my attention. According to the catalog, they are available in small, medium, and a limited number of extra-large sizes. I am interested in purchasing approximately 25 of the extra-large scorpion cups. If they are popular, I may consider ordering more, if the museum has the budget. Please send me information on your available stock. I would appreciate receiving the information by fax. I look forward to hearing from you. and hope that we will be able to continue doing business for a long time to come.

TIPS FOR SHOPPING THROUGH THE MAIL
Every year, thousands of people successfully order goods from mail order catalogs. However, some more unfortunate individuals find that the goods they ordered look nothing like the pictures, arrive damaged, or don't arrive at all. Here are some tips to help protect yourself when you shop through the mail.
• Before placing your first order, ask around. Have your friends or family used this catalog before? How was their experience? Were they satisfied with the goods and service? Would they use the company again?

Keep records of your orders, including the catalog name, address, telephone number, and the date that you placed the order. Of course, you should also keep track of items ordered, operator name, and expected date of delivery.

Re: Customer Preferences: Competition
As a result of recent research, we have decided to launch a staff competition.
500 British people were recently surveyed by Sunshine Holidays about their vacation plans for the coming summer. 100 people in each of five different age ranges were surveyed. They were asked to indicate which countries they planned to visit out of four possible choices. The choices given were Italy, France, Britain, and Spain. It seems that as they get older, people tend to choose not to travel overseas. As we can see from the table, the older participants chose Britain as their first choice to visit. When asked about this choice, they gave several reasons, including fears about health problems and access to medical care, worries about communicating in a foreign language, and the desire to spend time with their grandchildren during the school vacations. The youngest group of participants chose Spain as their favorite. They said it was because of Spain’s reputation as a fun and lively place with beautiful beaches. However, overall, France was the most popular destination for all age groups. This is because of its close location to Britain.
We want to increase the number of older customers visiting Spain (target A), and the number of younger visitors traveling within Britain [target B). For this reason, we are launching a staff competition. Please submit your ideas to increase the number of customers in either target group A or target group B. The two lucky winners will win an all-expenses paid trip to Bermuda.

Mankato Herald
Musicians Hurt in Stage Accident Mankato: July 5th. Cheers turned to tears last weekend at the Summer Classics Music Festival in Woodland Park. Saturday night's concert, the culmination of a week- long celebration, was attended by over 250 people. The evening closed with the first movement from Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. For this final number, the Mankato Symphony Orchestra was joined by local band Sons of Poseidon, just back from a tour of the former Soviet Union and China. The audience didn't seem to enjoy the performance which featured dueling solos from lead singer, Vince Voxx, and guitarist Barron von Jamz. There are reports of some members of the audience throwing empty cans at the stage. Just minutes before the close of the piece, disaster struck. According to eye witness reports, the band's rotating drum cage began to spin out of control. Some concert goers say that Vince Voxx had tried to throw back some of the cans, and they became entangled in the mechanism of the drum cage. A stagehand managed to disconnect the cage from its power source, but not before the drummer was knocked unconscious. He is listed in a stable condition at St. Gules Memorial Hospital.

Dear Sir,
I am one of the musicians involved in last weekend's Music Festival, and I would like to say that I feel your reporting was very biased. First, while I saw journalists from many newspapers, I did not see anyone from the Mankato Herald. The details in your report differ greatly from the facts. First, the audience thoroughly enjoyed the performance, cheering and singing along. Cans were not thrown at the stage, and even if they had been, our lead singer Vince Voxx would never do something irresponsible or dangerous like throwing them back at the audience. He is not that kind of person. He can always be trusted to do the right thing. The drum cage did not “spin out of control” and no one was hospitalized. The Mankato Herald has a history of writing negative reports about events involving Sons of Poseidon. I am not sure why. but would like to request that you write more objective articles in the future.
Sincerely, Johan Greer (Barron von Jamz) |

MEMORANDUM
To: All employees
From: Meg Gillio, Office Manager

Re: Stationery Recycling Policy

Re: Stationery Recycling Policy
Since our official merger with MAJOR Electronics, Inc. last month, we have continued to use stationery with our former name, Knottzach Business Systems. Stationery, which carries the new logo, MAJOR Knottzach Systems, is now available from the printer. All employees are requested to use this new stationery for all official correspondence, effective immediately. Please pick up a supply of the new stationery from Ryan Fischer on the 4th floor. However, in order to reduce wastage and to do our bit to preserve the environment, we are implementing two new systems.
1) Sign-out system - each time you receive any company stationery, you must sign a sheet saying what, how much and when you took it. It will be recorded on your employee record card.
2) Recycling - we throw away a lot of useable paper every month.
All paper must be put in the recycling bins now positioned in each office. A $30 gift voucher prize will be awarded to the office that wastes the least paper. If your office succeeds in producing the least wastage for three months in a row, each office member will receive a $20 bonus for each month.
If you take a look at the attached table, I think you'll appreciate why we have made these changes.
Monthly Wastage of Stationery supplies in offices of MAJOR Knottzach Systems. As you can see, we are extremely wasteful, especially with A4 copy paper. Please do your best to reduce this wastage. Thank you.
