At the time, we were revising our catalog, and I indicated that I would send you our brochure and order form for this year when the changes were completed. I am pleased to inform you that the product booklet was printed this week, and a copy is enclosed with this letter. 

We appreciate your interest In our merchandise and the previous purchases you made for your shop, and look forward to continuing our partnership during the coming year.

Philip, I'm about to board my flight and should arrive in Boston this afternoon. How's everything going? 

Philip Akkarat [10:55 a.m.] 

OK for the most part. However, a few system errors occurred in the new computer servers we're using to update the Web site. I called a technician, and he came in this morning at about 8:00. 

Fumiko Nakamura [10:58 A.M.] 

Was he able to fix the problem? 

Philip Akkarat [10:59 a.m.] 

He said the issue was more complicated than he first thought. He had another job at 10:00 a.m., so he said he'd be back at 2:00 p.m. to finish up.

Fumiko Nakamura [11:02 a.m.] 

Hmm, but those updates need to be done by 4:00 p.m. Why don't you ask the staffto use the old servers for now? 

Philip Akkarat [11:03 a.m.] 

All right. That will take longer, so we should probably start now in order to finish in time. 

Fumiko Nakamura [ll:05 A.M.] 

Good. I'll see you in a few hours.

Barriston City Unveils New Development Project 

By Wendy Ogilvy 

The Barriston City Planning Commission announced plans last Thursday to begin work on a revitalization of the art district on Chestnut Avenue, Long considered the hub of Barriston's art scene, the area has fallen into disrepair. The project will involve widening the sidewalks, repaying the street, and building a park in the area. In addition, two information billboards showing maps of the district will be installed on the thoroughfare for visitors. 

But the highlight of the project is a new outdoor staging area which will be located at the corner of Chestnut Avenue. Designed by local architect Theresa Vergara, the stage will be used to host musical concerts and theatrical productions, with outdoor seating for up to 500 people. 

Also, a portion of the city government's budget has been allocated to the restoration of buildings along Chestnut Avenue. Inspectors will evaluate the structures to determine what work needs to be carried out. Proprietors will not be charged, but according to city tax assessor Peter Jones, property tax levels will increase in the district by 1 percent, starting next year. 

With many proprietors of local businesses in the district reporting dropping sales figures and a decline in visitors, the commission hopes the project will help draw people back to the area. Evan Sweeten, chair of the planning committee, said, "We believe that this work will help revitalize the area and bring it back to its former glory."

Recruitment Fairs 

It will soon be that time of year again when Cofton College sends staff to university recruitment fairs around the country to attract new students. Ms. Malkovich will, of course, be in charge of this as our marketing manager and will be attending all of the events. Unlike other major private colleges in the UK, we like to emphasize the amount of personal attention that students receive from their teachers. Thus, not only do we keep class sizes to manageable proportions, but we also promote healthy social interactions between students and faculty. For this reason, we try to have at least one member of the teaching staff attend each recruitment event. The four events we will be attending in the next month are listed below: 

• Thursday, February 10, Mercia Hotel, Birmingham 
• Wednesday, February 16, Hartford College, London  
• Saturday, February 19, Leeds Metropolitan Convention Centre, Leeds 
• Wednesday, February 23, Brighton and Hove Conference Centre, Brighton 

Please get in touch with me at [email protected] if you have the time to attend any of these events. Anyone willing to work the weekend event will be paid at the usual hourly rate for overtime. 

I look forward to hearing from you all.

Hello Lisa, 

I was glad to see your notice on the departmental bulletin board today, as I always enjoy attending one or two events each year to meet potential new students. Of the events you listed, I'd be happy to go to l! ] the one on February 19. My family lives in the same area the event is taking place, and I'll be visiting them that weekend. Accordingly, it would be no trouble for me to take a few hours to attend the event

Unfortunately, that's all I can offer to do for now, as I teach all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Please send me all the details of the event as soon as you can.

Best Wishes,

Professor Andrew Jansen

Mia, 

I was having lunch today with a colleague, Rupert Kim, who works in my company's marketing division. He said H that two members of their team are leaving and that his supervisor is looking to hire two new employees. H I immediately thought of you since I remembered that you were looking for a job exactly like this.

I spoke with the marketing manager, David Bradley, and told him a bit about your experience and current situation. He seemed quite interested and said you could give him a call at 555-3928 to talk about the job and ;j possibly set up a meeting. He said that there have been a lot of applicants who have the necessary educational qualifications for the position but few that fulfilled the other requirement. You should probably contact Mr Bradley today. If he is interested, he will ask you to send a reference.
