VP to Retire Soon

Chamberlain Savings Bank wishes to announce the retirement of Sebastian Brown, our vice president, on Friday, November 28. Mr. Brown has been an employee here for the past 43 years. Starting as a bank teller straight out of college, he swiftly showed his value and was promoted to manager. He was appointed to three other positions here until being named vice president 14 years ago. During Mr. Brown’s tenure as vice president, Chamberlain Savings Bank has transitioned from a small local bank to one of the largest privately owned banks in the Midwest, with 34 branches in 7 states. Mr. Brown is a beloved employee, noted philanthropist, and loving father, and his presence will be missed. There will be a retirement ceremony for him at 3 P.M. on his final day of work. It will be held at the Chamberlain Savings Bank branch in St. Louis at 56 Cutler Street.

Re: Retirement Party

Date: November 7

You are invited to attend the retirement party being held for Sebastian Brown. Please note that due to the Thanksgiving holiday, which takes place one day prior to Mr. Brown’s retirement date, the party for Mr. Brown has been moved up by one week. It will therefore take place the Friday before Thanksgiving. The time and location of the event, however, have not changed.

While David Chamberlain, our bank’s owner, intends to give Mr. Brown a present, some employees think we should give him something ourselves. So we’re taking up a collection for him. Since Mr. Brown loves golfing, we’re hoping to buy him a new set of clubs. You can give your donations to me or your manager, who will make sure that I get them. All of the donated funds will be used for Mr. Brown’s gift. I’m going to order the clubs on the 16th, so if you’re planning to donate, please do so by then.

SUBJECT: Order #204-KL-505

Dear Ms. Rudolph,

We received the order you placed on our website yesterday. We are pleased to have you as a new customer and hope you continue to buy from us in the future.

I would like to let you know that the Delmar’s Deluxe Golf Club set (item number 59505594) that you ordered is being prepared for shipping. Unfortunately, the Delmar’s Black Golf Bag (item number 68586965) that you ordered is not currently in stock and will not arrive for 7 more days. You requested express shipping, so we assume you need your order in a hurry. May I suggest that you substitute the missing item by getting either item number 69658494 or 23420534? Simply click on each number to see a description of the item. While they are slightly more expensive, we will not charge you the extra cost, so the price of your order will remain $3,500.

Sincerely,

Susan Walters, Redbird Sporting Goods
