Susan Learned
Good afternoon, Mr. Wachtel. This is Susan Learned from Sigridson Office Interiors. I received the order form you e-mailed us this morning, but I have some questions for you.
4:32
Justin Wachtel
Hello, Susan. I hope there isn't a problem with the order.
4:41 Susan Learned
Nothing major, it's just that you wrote down your preferred brand for the office chairs but didn't indicate how many you need.
4:43 Justin Wachtel
Sorry about that! Hold on, and let me check how many of the old ones we have now.
4:45 Justin Wachtel
It looks like we need 18 chairs.
4:55 Susan Learned
Perfect. Also, in regard to the Bainbridge conference table you asked for, it comes in a variety of materials. If you check our Web site, there are pictures of the table in pine, oak, and cedar. Prices vary slightly. Could you let me know your preference?
5:02 Justin Wachtel
Actually, I am interested in the cedar version. It should coordinate well with the other desks and furnishings in the office.
5:04 Susan Learned
I'll take note of that information. We should be able to deliver everything by Tuesday morning. However, the projection screen is being custom-built, so it won't get there until Thursday. I'll e-mail you a final invoice later today.

Wanted: Used car in good condition
Contact: Roy Long; extension #8113
Post Valid From: June 1 - 30
I am looking for a used car in good condition for my son, who will be going to college in the fall. I would like to buy a four-door vehicle with good gas mileage. The brand of the car is not important as long as it is not in need of major repair. Minor dents and scratches are fine as I have the ability to fix them. I prefer anti-lock brakes and air bags as features for my son's safety. If you have a car that is 4-8 years old and meets the other listed criteria, please call the number above.

CHANGES IN CCT NEWS
CCT News, the most watched cable news station in the country, has just hired Greg O'Connell to be its new 8 p.m. anchor. Mr. O'Connell is taking over for Pauline Fields, an anchor who retired last month after 20 years on the job.
Mr. O'Connell brings extensive industry experience. A veteran reporter, he began as a community news writer for Cork County Ledger, then graduated to editing headline news for five years. Following that, Mr. O'Connell took a job as the assistant news anchor at a local TV station. Flis broadcasts became increasingly popular, and two years later, he was offered a job as the head anchor at WQZ Nightly News. After 10 years on the job, he left WQZ because of the new position at CCT News.
George McDonough, the head of CCT News, says he couldn't be happier with their new anchor. "I first met Greg while working as a producer at WQZ and have been a fan of his ever since," he says. "He is an exemplary newscaster who brings both charisma and a true investigative spirit to the job."
Mr. O'Connell's first night on the air will be May 7. Until then, Richard Marshall will be filling in as the temporary anchor.

From: Angela Romanov, Office Manager
Subject: Building improvements
Dear all,
Please remember that the renovation of the entire headquarters building will begin two weeks from now. The work will take place one floor at a time, starting on the fifth and moving downward. Each floor is scheduled to take one week to finish. Eve discussed this with the team leaders, and a solution has been reached for dealing with workspace concerns during this time.
While your floor is being renovated, space will be made available for you in the conference rooms on the third floor. When it comes time to renovate the third floor, employees who normally work there will be redistributed throughout the rest of the building. We are hoping this will not present any problems since there are only a dozen employees who permanently work on that floor. Those staff members are asked to wait for further instructions from their team leader.
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this situation may create over the coming weeks. I am confident that we can all work together to make the process go as smoothly as possible. If you have any further queries, please contact your team leaders.
Thank you,
Angela Romanov

Helen Coulter [July 15,9:54 a.m.] I hope you are all having a good break. I just heard back from the producer of Timelight this morning, and they would like to extend Kitchen Belle's catering contract for another two years. The studio has renewed the TV series. Shall we keep the same schedule as last year, or would you like to switch times? Elaine Painter [July 15,10:00 a.m.] That's great news! It will guarantee the business a steady income. I know Henry Lincoln usually does breakfast, but as long as he doesn't have a problem with it, can I take the morning shift instead of lunch this time? Graham Fulton [July 15,10:04 a.m.] It's fine by him. He's with me now and just told me so, Elaine. He'd actually prefer midday. As for me, I want to stick with the breakfast shift. Will there be any extra evening shoots this year? Helen Coulter [July 15,10:05 a.m.] So Elaine and Graham can do the 7:30-11:00 shift, and Henry and I will do 11:30-3:30. There will be some evening shifts for extra pay, but none that will end past midnight. In addition, the show will also be filmed outside the studio this season, so we'll have to make adjustments. Anyway, we can discuss that issue when we return from vacation next week. Elaine Painter [July 15,10:07 a.m.] Will the number of cast and crew be the same? Graham Fulton [July 15,10:07 a.m.] It sounds like more work than last year. Helen Coulter [July 15,10:08 a.m.] Yes, Elaine. There will be a total of 88 to feed rather than 67. And Graham, I think it will be more work. But they are paying us more, so I think we can afford to hire a couple of food preparation assistants. - Questions 172-175 refer to the following memo.

Subject: Freelancer for new project
Attachment: Carl Deluth article
Hi
Rebecca,
How has everything been going? I heard that you are working on a children's e-book project over at Turnip, and I am wondering if you are still looking for a freelance illustrator to help out. My friend, Carl Deluth, wrote to me recently and mentioned that he was seeking some part-time work.
Carl has done artwork for children's literature and comic books for over eight years. His drawings were even featured in an exhibition last year at the Corander Museum of Modern Art. I've attached an article from a local newspaper for your reference. It discusses some of his most recent work.
Also, Carl mentioned that he was curious about the project schedule and timing. If you think he would be a good fit for the project, you may contact him directly at [email protected], and he can send you a resume and samples of his work. Let me know ifyou have any questions or concerns.
Best,
Tim

Subject: Freelance position for new project
Dear Mr. Deluth,
Thank you for forwarding me a copy of your resume and some pictures of your previous work. I've had a look through everything, as well as an attachment forwarded to me by your friend, Mr. Soranes. My colleagues and I are very impressed with your work and accomplishments.
In regard to the details of Turnip's ongoing project, the stories are 12 pages long with one main illustration on each page. We may request that the images span across two pages, however. The artwork will be used in our e-books as well as in some educational games we are developing, so the completed files need to be provided in the proper formats.
As to our work process for freelance illustrators, we will first provide you with art descriptions and give you five business days to provide us with sketches. We will give you feedback within two business days, and you will need to make the necessary adjustments and do drawing and coloring within nine business days. We will complete a final review within two business days and make requests for minor adjustments which you'll have one business day to carry those out.
Should this be of interest of you, please let me know, and I will arrange for an interview. Information regarding payment and a contract can be discussed at that time.
Regards,
Rebecca Katrinsky

MEMO
To: All Staff
From: Jasmine Alexander, Chief Operations Officer
Subject: Pension scheme
Date: November 28
As you know, the company executives reviewed our pension policy at Friday's board meeting, and agreed to make some changes to add more flexibility to the system. Currently, employees who have been with the company less than five years contribute 1.8 percent of their salary to the pension fund, while those who have been here five years or longer contribute 2.7 percent.
From January 1 of next year, this policy will change. All staff will be able to choose which level of pension payment they want to use. As well as the two existing options, employees will also be able to contribute an amount of up to 3.5 percent of their salary if they wish. In December, you will all be asked to communicate your preferences on this issue. If you would like to discuss the options and receive some advice about what might be best for your current situation, please make an appointment with the head of the human resources department.

From: Adam Cartwright <[email protected]>
Subject: Pension appointment
Date: November 29
Hello Sarah,
I am writing in response to yesterday's memo from Ms. Alexander. I currently contribute 1.8 percent of my salary to the pension fund. However, I received a pay raise when my contract was renewed in September, so I can now afford to contribute more. Because of that, I'm interested in increasing my contribution to 3.5 percent.
I will be available to talk about this issue all day Tuesday and Thursday, and will also be free on Friday before 2 p.m. Let me know if there is a time that works best for you during those periods.
Best wishes,
Adam Cartwright

Dear Ms. Rose,
Thank you for processing our request. A digital copy of the full-page advertisement meant for inclusion in your brochure has been attached. Other marketing materials will be sent in a separate e-mail as soon as they are finalized. I also received the four conference tickets as part of the benefits package. Incidentally, I'd like to inquire about the price of obtaining full conference tickets on the day of the event. A colleague from an affiliated company in Europe is interested in attending, but he cannot be sure of his availability until a few days before the event. He is not yet a member of the AME but belongs to the European Society of Engineers, with whom we will be working closely on a future project.
I appreciate your assistance and look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Received: August 16, 3:35 p.m.
Mr. Lieb, I've made lunch reservations at Di Paolo's Italian restaurant for 1:00 p.m. When you meet me, we can go over the Cross Media contract together. I sent you the restaurant's address earlier. It's right across the street from Grand Central station, so I suggest using public transportation to get there. You'll have to take one of the temporary buses as Ratner is the station closest to you, though. You can visit the transportation office's Web site to find out which bus to take. Anyway, see you on Thursday!
