The US military market is the world’s fifth largest network. This lucrative outlet offers reliable products to a population with high income levels. With the right product positioning, brand recognition and customer loyalty will continue well beyond the period of military service.
Access to this powerful sales outlet does not follow conventional marketing paths. Procurement and distribution are highly structured and military expectations of vendor and after-sales support far exceed those of the typical retailer. In order to maximize this market, you need to rely on specialists who have the experience to make it happen for you.

Re: Language Feature
Dear Manu,
After viewing your webpage, I would like to ask you about the programming codes you used for the company’s German website for your customers. I noticed that the customers could view the webpage in a number of different languages and a feature which would be ideal for our customer base. I would like to employ this function and make it available for our Belgian customers. Would it be possible to send me the codes and tell me how to design this function? Then I can simply alter these language options for our targeted market to include Belgian, Norwegian, and Swedish consumers.
I hope to see you when I attend the managerial workshops in Berlin next week. It is my first visit to Germany so I am looking forward to it. Perhaps we can meet up while I’m there in case I have any additional questions regarding the program.
Thank you for your time.

Antarctica, one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on the planet! You can be there in all the luxury of Explore Cruises' fabulous food, elegant state rooms, and on-board activities. We also offer daily lectures on the continent's wildlife and geology. A cruise ship is the best way to see Antarctica because most of the wildlife is found in dangerous spots. How would you like to see penguins, seals, and whales playing in water beneath gigantic icebergs? Or sight whales and albatross following the ship? The tourist season is only from November through February because the rest of the year is too cold, icy, and dark for travel. In December, you'll see hatching penguins and baby chicks.
In February, fledging chicks waddle on shore. The 10-day adventure begins at Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, where you'll board ship. On 4 of the 10 days, you'll take land excursions. If conditions are right, you'll be swimming in hot springs on one of these stops. This is the trip of a lifetime!

Mr. Fellows,
I appreciate the information you sent about your participation in the Las Vegas Sports Show. It sounds like your display will be one of the most exciting ones there. I look forward to going through it and, especially, meeting the lineup of basketball stars in attendance. My itinerary, thus far, has the following openings for a time that you and I can get together to discuss your quantity capabilities and pricing.
Monday the 12th: between I 1:00 and 3:30 (How about lunch?)
Tuesday the 13th: all morning until noon
Wednesday the 14th: any time after 2:00 RM.
Thursday the 15th: any time, all day, before 6:00 P.M. when I leave for the airport
If your schedule does not permit a meeting during any of these available times in my schedule, just let me know. I can postpone other appointments to assure a meeting with you. I hope we can also manage some social time. You were a wizard at the blackjack table at last year’s show!

Hi, all! Did you get the new employ handbook? This manual provides information on company policies ranging from employee guidelines, benefits, to health and safety issues.

Good morning! Yes, I would just like to say the new employee handbook is amazing.

I couldn’t agree more. I thought it was just going to be a manual that has an introduction to the company, and some boring policies that were already listed in the previous books. Boy, I was wrong.

Right! I never thought an employee handbook can be this fun to read with a load of information about the company and procedures.

I’m glad that you guys like it. Other full-time employees in non- administrative positions, as well as part-time staff, should have received their handbooks through the mail. If you have not yet received a copy, you should contact your supervisor immediately.

Dear Award Committee:
I would like to nominate Abby Martin for this year’s “Teen Who Makes a Difference” award. — [1] —. She’s a senior at Fledgefield High in Milledgeville, Arizona. As a sophomore, she raised money to feed hungry children by encouraging classmates to help her. She then started a web site, kidscare.com., with links to sites of similar interest. — [2] —. Children interested in raising money in their schools e-mail Abby with their names and addresses. She sends them kits with everything they need for a fund drive in their school. When site visitors want to make direct online donations to alleviate world hunger, kidscare.com has a list of links to reputable organizations. So far, close to three million dollars has been raised by teenagers and children using the kits and by site visitors. — [3] —. It’s amazing what a difference this 17-year-old has already made! — [4] —.

Notice: Estimated Bill
We couldn’t read your energy meters for the last three months because we have been unable to access your residence. As a result, we have no choice but to bill you for an estimated figure using previous months’ usage.
However, estimations can result in incorrect billing. It may be the case that we overestimate your usage and you will be charged more than you actually use. If we underestimate your usage, you could receive a larger bill after we read the actual amount.
We suggest that you take a reading of your own meter and submit it in order to prevent another estimated billing. Details of how to read your meter are enclosed with this letter and are very explanatory. Once you obtain an actual reading, it can be submitted to our automated telephone system by calling at 555-4376-5498 on your scheduled reading date.
Alternatively, if you wish to have your meter read by a BE employee, you can schedule a specific time which is convenient for you by calling 555-4376-3244 before August 8th.

Dear Mr. Leroy:
We are pleased to offer you a fee of $3,500 for your assistance in recruiting high school business students to act as guides during our school-to-work job fair this summer. We have appreciated your assistance in the past, and looking forward to working with you again this year.
The job fair will begin on the evening of July 28 and will continue through August 2nd. Though past fairs have been held in the conference halls here at our site, the size of this year’s fair requires the use of a larger facility. Students will need to report to the Eagle Convention Center on the morning of July 28.
Zack Blanton will be contacting you with more information, and any questions you may have should be directed to him.
Again, thank you very much.

I really am thankful for this, I’m not even sure I deserve such a big check for my work. The time for this year workshop sounds good to me. I was starting to wonder what I am going to do for the rest of the summer vacation, but it seems to me that you give me another nice, fun job to do. I will see you on July 28th at the Eagle Convention center. Until then, stay safe!

Vanessa,
We need to respond immediately to information from the Food and Drug Administration about an E.coli outbreak in cabbage. A televised press conference is scheduled for this afternoon at 4:00 p.m., after which it will be in all the news media. As CEO, I’ll be in charge of this matter. Also, we must do everything to protect Food World shoppers and make them feel confident shopping for produce in our stores. I would like you to write an urgent text message as well as e-mail. You cannot overstate the importance of doing this! Please send me a copy of your text message before disseminating it to our stores. Thank you.

Re: E.coli outbreak
Hank,
I’ve attached, for your review, my e-mail. As a senior manager, I also suggest that Food World executives meet today to discuss how to deal with customers’ fears about purchasing fresh produce. A bacteriologist, specializing in large-scale farming, has agreed to be available for the meeting, at any time this afternoon. At the meeting, I would like to propose developing a brochure directed to customers. It should address what E.coli is, how it affects people, how fields are tested for bacteria, the reliability of these tests, and consumer safe handling of fresh fruits and vegetables.The brochure should be available as soon as possible after press coverage of the outbreak.
This brochure should help our customers understand that their safety is our priority and that they can feel comfortable buying Food World produce.

We understand that your productivity relies, in part, on how comfortable you are about your child’s welfare while you are at work. TechCom is pleased to announce an on-site daycare center, opening in July. Although we will be subsidizing the operating costs of the center, there will still be a small fee expected from parents.
TechCom’s childcare will be managed by Sylvia Johnston, who is a certified teacher and has a Ph.D. in Early Childhood Development. Ms. Johnston has taught third grade for 6 years, after which she successfully managed Play House Daycare for 7 years. There is a large grassy area between TechCom’s building and the south parking lot which will be fenced in and installed with playground equipment. Indoors, children will have an array of toys and games: building blocks, books, board games, art supplies, work benches and much more. In addition, we will be offering special activities. Refer to the attached schedule for times and costs. As well as full-day care, we will offer after-school care with certified teachers available to help with homework.
