Dear Ms. Montessori,
As you are probably aware, my contract will expire at the end of March. We have already discussed my plan to retire, so hopefully this does not come as a surprise. This letter serves as official notification of my intention to step down as the company's vice president of finance. I would be happy to stay on for an additional month to train and assist any replacement you choose.
I have truly enjoyed my time with Homestead Properties and appreciate all the support I've been provided over the years. I will miss working with my wonderful colleagues, but I will stay in touch.
Thank you very much for all the opportunities you and the board of directors have afforded me.
Sincerely,
Edward Grainger

SUBJECT Party preparations
DATE March 12
Hi Florence,
You've likely heard the news about Mr. Grainger. I would like to organize a dinner party in his honor. You did such a wonderful job of planning our awards dinner last fall, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to take care of the arrangements for this event as well.
We plan to spend up to $6,000 on the party's location. The board and I will take care of the gift. The date would be March 27, which is a Friday. I can send you a list of people we would like to invite later today. I imagine 50-60 people will be attending. As before, the company is happy to offer you an extra $500 on your next paycheck as compensation. Please let me know if you're interested as soon as possible.
Regards,
Elizabeth Montessori

Are you letting high prices get in the way of your fitness goals?
Everyone is talking about yoga these days—in magazines, on television, and even during chats with friends. But while we've all heard about the many health benefits that yoga provides, looking around yoga stores can be intimidating. With even a simple yoga mat costing up to $50 or more, yoga can seem like an expensive activity to get into!
Well, not anymore. Merchandise at FlexiWorld Yoga ranges from top brand name yoga equipment to cheaper gear for beginners. And we can afford to offer all of our products at lower prices than department stores and other retailers because we operate entirely online.
So if you're thinking of trying out yoga, but don't want to overspend, head to WWW. flexiworldyoga.com!

Sheltonville Town Council
NOTICE: Residents of Smith Street and Surrounding Areas
Please be aware that a public forum will be held to talk about the ongoing work at the corner of Smith Street and Lincoln Avenue, where an apartment complex is in the process of being constructed. We have been informed that the project is about to enter its building phase, and this is expected to last until the end of September. During this period, it is likely that residents will be affected by road closures and increased levels of noise from the worksite. Additionally, the sidewalk will be closed off to pedestrians in the interest of safety.
Representatives from the construction firm of Blakely and Reid will be on hand to respond to questions from residents. The forum will be moderated by Joseph Coran, member of the city council representing District 11.
The forum will begin at 6:00 P.M. on Tuesday, July 10. It will be held at the Evergreen Community Center, and everyone in the neighborhood is free to attend.- TO: Carolyn Shah

SUBJECT Publication information
DATE: July 19
Dear Ms. Shah,
I am pleased to tell you that Casper Publishing has come out with an important title that I think QRC Bookstore will be interested in selling. — [1] —
The 10th edition of Economics for Business has been completed and contains revised multimedia content and new exercises in DVD format. We have one version for students and another for teachers. The students’ version is packaged for affordability, while the teachers’ version features several premium extras, such as preloaded presentation. — [2] —. Seeing as QRC Bookstore mainly sells university textbooks, it would make perfect sense for your shop to carry both versions of this publication or any of the other new titles in our catalog. — [3] —.
If you are interested in ordering, download the form on our Web site at www.caspub.com/orders and send it to US by post. — [4] —. For any further information, feel free to respond to this e-mail or contact me directly at 555-3044.
Best Regards,
Edwin Lewis.

Tea Tree Eco-Resorts Set to open in Mexico by Year’s End
By Consuela Hidalgo International hotel chain Tea Tree Eco-Resorts is in the final stages of building a 22-acre resort on Mexico’s Mayan Riviera. The first visitors are expected to arrive by December 21. Like other Tea Tree Eco-Resorts in the Philippines, Thailand, and Greece, the new hotel will be as eco-friendly as possible. “We have solar panels generating electricity and heating the water, for instance. Furthermore, none of the local farmers from whom we source our ingredients for regional specialties, such as pork wrapped in banana leaves and citrus-marinated chicken soup, use any chemical pesticides at all,” said general manager Jose Perez. The plan is for the facilities to be built around naturally growing trees and plant life, with structures blending in with the jungle. Further details can be found at www.teatreeecoresorts.com/mexico.
====================================

COMMENTS:
My wife and I were interested in a sailboat tour but were informed that the boat only held 24 passengers and was full., So, we inquired about a trip to the Mayan city, but it was also completely booked. Thankfully, we managed to go on the January 19 outing and enjoyed it very much. I recommend that more seats be available for trips, especially during high tourist season.
Thank you for your time!
