Dear Mr. Mansbridge,
Thank you for the letter dated November 12 regarding your stay at the Winspear Hotel in Edmonton. — [11 —. I understand that you and a colleague were our guests from November 8 to 10 but had some issues during your visit.
The manager on duty, Melanie Depuis, has notified me that one of the rooms you had reserved was double-booked. — [2] —. Unfortunately, we could not correct our mistake after your arrival since the hotel was at full occupancy. We are very sorry, and enclosed are two vouchers for a complimentary one-night stay at any Winspear Hotel nationwide—one for you and one for your associate, David Solomon.
You also said you thought our buffet breakfasts were complimentary. In regard to this, morning meals are only free for those staying in our premium accommodations. — [3] —.As you and Mr. Solomon stayed in a standard room, we had to charge you for your breakfasts. I apologize for any misunderstanding. ----[4]---.
We value the continued patronage of our guests, and we hope the vouchers will make up for any inconvenience.
Sincerely yours,
Kimberley Bell

Dear Mr. McCall,
We have received your inquiry about our natural daily vitamin supplement. You asked if our product contained any chemicals or nonorganic materials. Also, you inquired about some of the ingredients used to make the vitamin powder, as you are allergic to strawberries and cannot ingest grapefruit for medical reasons.
As advertised, we are a provider of certified organic products, so there are no chemical or unnatural materials in our products at all. Our organic ingredients are of the highest quality available, made only from fruits, plants, and naturally raised animals.
As stated, our products do include fruits. However, the daily vitamin supplement does not contain strawberries or grapefruit as ingredients. You can ingest it safely without any worry about an allergic reaction to strawberries or medication interaction with grapefruit. But some of our other products may contain one or the other. For example, Pure Mix energy drinks contain grapefruit seed.
I hope I have provided satisfactory responses to your questions. Enclosed, you’ll find an informative brochure on our most popular products. As always, should you plan to start a regular vitamin regimen, we highly recommend that you first consult your physician.
Sincerely,
Linda Mills

A Very Fruity Idea
Our cities are filled with trees, and the vast majority of those trees produce edible fruits. — [1] — But with no one to collect and process them, most simply fall to the ground and rot, wasting a potentially excellent source of nutrition.
One new organization wants to change that. — [2] —Fresh From The Tree is a non-profit group that aims to collect as much fruit as possible from the city’s trees, and then make it into delicious snacks that can be sold at low prices to local residents.
“We have been doing a survey of the locations of all the fruit trees in town,” says co-founder Michaela Anderson. “Once we have identified a promising tree, we contact the homeowners and ask if we can pick the fruit for them. — [3] —They usually don’t have time to manage it themselves.”
After the volunteers collect the fruit, they give half of it to the owners of the residence, and keep the other half to turn into fruit pies, jams, sorbets, and other tasty but healthy desserts. The group only has a handful of volunteers at the moment but are hoping to recruit more in the coming months. — [4] —. They are also negotiating with the city to collect fruit from trees on government property.
Cheryl stone [3:48] I just got a message from Mr. Baker saying that his flight has been delayed until 9 P.M. Weather conditions are terrible there in Chicago.
Allan Franklin [3:50] Really? But he's supposed to make a presentation to the executives from Harper Telecom today!
Maurice Wood [3:51] I've got all the visuals ready. But it would be problematic if we don't have a speaker.
Allan Franklin [3:52] That's an understatement. We need this contract. Otherwise, we may not meet our sales target for the year.
Cheryl Stone [3:54] Can't we do the presentation ourselves?
Allan Franklin [3:55] I'm not sure. There are several firms competing for the contract we are trying to get. Harper Telecom could decide to give the contract to someone else if they aren't impressed with our presentation.
Cheryl stone [3:57] I think I could do the speaking, but without Mr. Baker's technical background and expertise, our proposal might not sound very convincing. What do you think?
Allan Franklin [3:58] I agree with you. I think it would be better to call Harper Telecom and try to convince them to listen to his pitch tomorrow morning. That might be our best option.
Cheryl stone [3:59] I'm on it. I'll let you know how it goes.

Dear Mr. Carlson,
Thank you for coming by my home this afternoon to check out my kitchen. I appreciate the information you provided as it confirmed what your brochure said.
I have discussed the materials you suggested with my husband. Both of the recommendations are attractive, but after talking about it, we have agreed that we should go ahead with the marble option for our countertops. Please send us the total cost estimate for the project when you have time.
You also mentioned during your visit that custom countertops like the one we're requesting need to be specially ordered and may require additional time for delivery. So, could you let us know how long it will take to arrive?
I hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for your excellent service.

The Regency Scotia School of Design Hosts Historic Royal Costume Display
Threads of Royal History, launched on Friday, is the latest exhibit from the Regency Scotia School of Design (RSSD) in Glasgow. It is a treat for period costume enthusiasts. For the exhibit, the school borrowed 52 outfits belonging to both historical and current monarchs from museums around the world. Of particular note are the 4,000 year old headdress and accessories on loan from the Cairo Museum in Egypt as well as several stunning robes from the Forbidden City Museum in Beijing. In addition, fashion students from the school have created 38 replica outfits. All of the items are beautifully displayed on specially designed mannequins.
The exhibit will last for a month, concluding on April 30. Regular admission is £6.50, but students and faculty of the RSSD are admitted for free. Senior citizens pay £5.00, and children 10 and under pay £3.50. Inquire about student group rates by calling 555-3400. The exhibit space is located in the school’s Leighton Hall, which is open from 10 A.M. through 8 P.M., Monday through Thursday.==================================

SUBJECT: RSSD Exhibit
DATE : April 20
Hi Larry,
I saw an article in the paper about RSSD's current exhibit and am thinking of taking the students in my morning art classes there for a field trip. I called to find out about student group rates, and if there are 30 or more students, the admission fee is significantly lowered to £4.00. But I only have 24 in total for both my morning classes, so I was wondering if you and your students might be interested in joining us. The community center's bus seats 55 people, so there should be enough room to accommodate everyone. It sounds like a really interesting display, and I think our students would learn a lot from it as well. There is no rush, but let me know whether you're interested by Friday so I can book the visit.
Thanks!
Rhoda
