(D) Cô ấy dự định trở thành thành viên IAC. | (Trong email của Carpenter) Tôi có hai cô con gái ở độ tuổi vị thành niên, Tamara và Kristin, chúng muốn đăng ký khóa học bơi được cung cấp trong mùa hè này. Tamara 13 tuổi và đã là một vận động viên bơi lội cừ khôi, đã từng là thành viên đội tuyển ở trường cũ được hai năm.

TO: Bob Fletcher FROM: Tropical Tours DATE: March 1 SUBJECT: Notice regarding Southeast Asia tour |
Dear Mr. Fletcher, We regret to inform you that Tropical Tours has been forced to call off the Southeast Asia tour you booked from March 3 through March 10. You may have seen on the news that a severe storm hit the region yesterday and has caused serious damage. The airports you were scheduled to use in Jakarta, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur remain closed to commercial planes for the time being. Airport officials believe it will be four days until air traffic will return to normal. And as the storm travels, other tour destinations may be affected as well. At this point, we can offer you and your wife a complete refund for the tour package. Your total purchase price will be refunded to the credit card you used to book the tour. Alternatively, we can book a tour for you at a later date. If you choose this option, we recommend waiting at least until May so that your visit to the different locations is as pleasant as possible. Should you decide to take the tour at a later time, we will also provide you with hotel upgrades at all the locations on the itinerary. We sincerely apologize for the situation as we understand that it is a last-minute cancellation, and you have probably already prepared for the trip. Sincerely, Customer Services Tropical Tours |

Stretch Makes Plans to Expand Stretch Corporation announced yesterday that it plans to expand in a much larger location on the outskirts of the city. The athletic wear company's headquarters will remain at its current location at the corner of Dupont and Beverly Street, but production facilities will be moved to Haverford, around 15 kilometers from the city center. CEO Alex Cruz said, "For the past few years, the number of people who enjoy exercising has grown significantly. — [1] —. Our move will allow us to keep up with this increase so that we can continue providing our target customers with quality athletic wear and equipment." Moreover, Stretch's move is also good news for the local economy. — [2] —. "Even though domestically manufactured products cost more than those manufactured overseas, our customers are happy to pay a little extra," said Cruz. — [3] —. "For this reason, we intend to keep production nearby and have no reason to outsource to anywhere else." — [4] —. |

To: Jason Minkovski <[email protected]> From: Angela Johnstone <[email protected]> Date: April 23 Subject: Conference arrangements |
Hello Jason, I've been invited to speak at the Great Lakes Real Estate Convention between June 18 and 21. It's taking place in Milwaukee, so could you book a flight for me that departs the day before the conference begins? An economy class ticket is fine as Milwaukee is just a short flight from here in Chicago. Also, while I'm in the Midwest, I should stop by the Minneapolis branch and see how the new regional manager, Beryl Twispe, is getting along in her new position. Could you contact her and find out if this would be a good time for me to visit? If so, I would prefer traveling to Minneapolis by train, but I am not sure if it is a reasonable option. However, if a train trip will take too long, go ahead and make reservations for a flight out of Milwaukee. I'd like to depart the day after the conference ends, and I'll also require accommodation in Minneapolis. You don't have to take care of the arrangements for my stay in Milwaukee as I was informed by the organizer of the convention, Brenda Orson, that she will deal with my hotel, local transport, and meals. If you need to coordinate with her, you can call (612) 555-3991. Thank you, and let me know the details when you have them. Best wishes, Angela Johnstone |

Everything Video Opens Store By Kelly Warren Everything Video, a pioneer in the used electronics marketplace, recently opened its fourth store, this time in San Diego. With popular branches in Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino, the chain's new store, located in the Seaside Mall, is its largest location yet. The space boasts an incredible variety of thousands of games for multiple platforms that date back to the 1980s. There is also a smaller section of game consoles, handheld players, and an assortment of other vintage video game devices. Used movies on videotape or DVD are also available. Kendra Brown, founder of Everything Video, says, "A lot of people miss owning physical objects." She explained that the shift in recent years to playing games and watching movies online has indirectly created a demand for physical products. "Often, our customers buy these items for sentimental reasons." Not only can customers do some shopping, but Everything Video buys stock as well. If you have games, movies, or devices they're interested in, staff offer cash payments or store credit to use at any of their locations in exchange for them. According to branch manager Dane Cruz, as an introductory special, shoppers who buy three games or more will receive a 20 percent discount off their total purchase amount. The offer is valid until August 1 and is only available at the San Diego branch. |

I recently purchased and downloaded a photo-editing program from your site called Picto-Master. I have tried installing the software, but at the end of the process, a window popped up Informing me of an error. I was not notified this might happen when I purchased the software, so I am unsure how to proceed with the installation. I checked the online forum to find a possible solution, but I was unable to find any post in regard to this specific issue. Please contact me about this issue as soon as possible, as I need the program for a photography project I'm working on. Thank you. |

Dear Mr. Poison, Thank you for your message and for purchasing one of Cyprus Software's products. First, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience. Generally, the problem you described only occurs when the user's operating system is incompatible with our software. Please check the list of supported operating systems on our Web site. If your operating system isn't listed, you will need to run a separate repair program in order to install Picto-Master. After you have run the program, you may try downloading Picto-Master again. The repair program may be downloaded from our Website as well. If you experience the same problem, make sure that you have downloaded the correct file from our site, and not the business or trial versions of the photo-editing software. Should you require further assistance, please don't hesitate to respond to this e-mail or call our 24-hour hotline at 1-800-555-3300. |

To: Stan Macaulay From: Allan Carpenter Subject: Swimming classes Date: July 9 |
Dear Mr. Macaulay, My name is Allan Carpenter, and I just recently moved into the Cornwood Condominium. I have two teenage daughters, Tamara and Kristin, who are interested in signing up for the swim lessons being offered this summer. Tamara is 13 and is already quite an accomplished swimmer, having been a varsity member at her previous school for two years. The younger one, who is 11, has had less experience as a swimmer, but she is certainly not a beginner. I am planning to visit administration office this week with my daughters to sign them up, but I wanted to find out whether you accept credit cards as a method of payment. Please let me know as soon as it is convenient. Thank you! Allan Carpenter |

TO Lena Reid FROM Shonda Dixon SUBJECT Re: Ballet DATE May 2 |
Hi Lena, Thanks so much for the invitation! I would love to go with you to the ballet premiere. Fraulein Danza Company has done amazing work at the shows I've seen before, so I'm sure this performance will be fantastic as well. Besides, I'm a really big fan of Sofia Pinsky. You must have had a lot of fun interviewing her and Igor Petrovich at their studio yesterday. I can meet you at the theater at 7:30 on May 9 if you want, or maybe we can get together earlier for dinner. There is a nice place right next to the Gladstone Theater called Carlotta's Bistro. Let me know if you'd like to do that. Thanks again. I am really looking forward to it! Shonda |
