Dear Ms. Miller,
On behalf of Hometime Outlet, I'm very sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties with your recently purchased microwave, model 4-600, from Owada Electronics. According to your complaint, the interior plate spins while in use but the food actually does not heat up. Unfortunately, there have been a number of complaints about this particular device as well as others made by the same manufacturer. As we take customer satisfaction very seriously, we no longer carry products made by Owada Electronics.
We would like to send you a substitute device that is of comparable size and slightly higher value - Turbo Chrome Microwave from Franco, Inc. The item will be shipped to you free of charge. We hope that you find this arrangement suitable and that you continue to shop at Hometime Outlet for all your household needs.

Manningtree to Restore Chromeburry Hall
By Richard Evert
While many marvel at the modern and the new, residents of Manningtree find beauty in all things classical. This explains why this small town in England is now engaging in a massive effort to restore the glory of its vintage structures.
A team of local architects, called the Green Construction Society (GCS), is in partnership with the local government to reconstruct historical buildings in the area. After successfully restoring the Arc Cathedral and other buildings last year, the society is now preparing to refurbish Chromeburry Hall.
“Last year’s project inspired us to work on the music hall,” GCS President Samuel Morse said. “We can’t wait to start working again.”
Chromeburry Hall, a 300-year-old concert hall located on Courtney Street, used to be a popular venue for operas and orchestra shows until the 1930s. During that time, the walls and ceilings of the building had started to deteriorate, making it unsafe for use. Since it was more expensive to restore the music hall than build a new venue, the government decided to close the building and construct the Atlas Theater.
The GCS and the government hope to turn the abandoned structure into a music museum. However, Morse said much work has yet to be done, and the society is in need of more volunteers.
“Any form of help would go a long way,” Morse said. “We hope our fellow citizens will join us in this endeavor.”
Residents interested in volunteer work may log on to the society’s Web site, www.gcsociety.com, to learn more about the project. refer to the following form.

Software manufacturer Compitec responds to consumer feedback
By Dwayne Cherry
April 5—At a press conference held yesterday afternoon, Compitec’s research and development director, Steve Reynolds, announeed that the company is to make sweeping changes to its word-processing software in light of negative customer feedback. Compitec released its latest version of the software, TypePro version 8.0, in January this year, hoping to gain a larger market share before rival company Digicom releases its product this July. — [1] —
According to reports, one of the fundamental concerns raised by users of the software was the lack of formatting options provided. Users reported that they were also frustrated by the limited number of font choices available, as well as their inability to change the size of the text. Many customers also reported not being able to insert pictures or other graphics into documents. — [2] — Finally, over 500 users took to Compitec’s Web site to express their disgust with printing problems. For example, printouts often appear in a completoy different format from what was displayed on-screen.
Reynolds said that developers are working “around the clock” to improve the 8.0 software. The company hopes version 8.01 will address all the issues that plagued version 8.0. — [3] — To do so, Director of Commercial Operations, Susan Torpey, also announced that all existing customers who have already purchased version 8.0 would receive a free copy of the updated product as a “token of goodwill.” — [4] — However, it remains to be seen whether this gesture can repair the damage done to the company’s reputation in the eyes of the public. refer to the following application form and e-mail.

This proposed drop in financial support could result in the closure of our Ark Center.
You will find a petition form online at www.nbgsociety.com/petition, but you are also encouraged to contact your congressperson directly to raise your voice against this policy change. We firmly believe the work we do concerns everyone.

Dear Mr. Norcross,
I am writing to you about the three-bedroom apartment that you have listed online. I am interested in seeing the property. It’s located exactly halfway between my office and my husband’s and I prefer to live in units that are high in the building.
It’s almost perfect, although the $1,300 price is a little above my preferred budget. This isn’t the only concern that I would like to discuss with you. For instance, we would need a second parking space, and I wonder if I’ll be allowed to do that. My husband and I would like to look at the apartment and discuss a few matters. Would tonight be convenient for you? We are available anytime after 7 P.M.
Thank you in advance,

However, the person I spoke to advised me that I must submit a formal request in writing to you before I could be reimbursed. I was also told to attach a copy of the receipt, which I have done.
I hope that you can settle this issue quickly.
