Please be aware that the company is going to undergo a major restructuring involving the Sales, Marketing, and Accounting Departments. —[1]— The Sales and Marketing Departments will be combined into a single department to be called the Commerce Department.

Employees in all three of these departments will be notified of their future status here this Friday morning. —[3]— All changes will go into effect on May 1. We are implementing these changes to streamline company operations and to ensure future profitability.

Thank you for purchasing a Safety Pro Car Seat from the Whitman Corporation. Car seats can only protect your children when they are installed properly, so please carefully read and then follow the instructions below.
- Do not install this car seat in the front seat of your vehicle. It is meant only to be installed in the back seat.
- If your child weighs fewer than 10 kilograms or is 18 months of age or younger, the car seat should be positioned facing the rear. Children who are both 18 months of age or older and who weigh 10 kilograms or more may sit in seats facing forward.
- Pull the seatbelt through the belt path while ensuring that there are no twists. Then, lock the seatbelt in place.
- Pull the seatbelt tightly so that the car seat fits securely. Side-to-side movement decreases the effectiveness of the car seat.
- Place your child in the car seat and then adjust the straps to guarantee that the child fits snugly within the seat. Your child should not wear a jacket while riding in the car seat.
For more information, including a video with step-by-step instructions, please visit our website at www.safetyprocarseat.com. You may also call us toll-free at 1-888-555-4938 if you I have any questions regarding the Safety Pro Car Seat.

SUBJECT: Repair Work
DATE: July 16
Dear Mr. Walker,
I am writing to you with regard to the repair work that a team from your firm did on the main office’s air conditioning system last week. Since the work was completed on Thursday, I have received several complaints from employees with regard to the excessive noise that the air conditioning system is making. The problem only arose after your repairmen departed, so I assume that the noise has something to do with the work that they did on the system. As I am sure that you can understand, the high level of noise is making it hard for everyone to concentrate on their work, so we have had to turn the system off. Naturally, we are all very hot due to the ongoing heatwave, so we are in need of a functioning air conditioning system. As per our contract, your company guarantees all the work it does, so I request that your repairmen return to my firm as soon as possible. Would you please be kind enough to inform me when this will be possible? I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Helen Trent
Westing Corporation

Literacy Awareness Month to Conclude Soon

Literacy Awareness Month is about to come to a close. Before it reaches its end, we would like to salute all of the members of the community who are making a difference to our children. We at the Reading Club of Kent (RCK) have been battling illiteracy among impoverished children by hosting daily events that encourage both children and their parents to read every day. This year’s program has been a big success thanks to the hard work of our volunteers.—[1]—
Knowing that reading is the key to education and that education is fundamental to staying out of poverty, the RCK has been hosting reading sessions at the Kent Public Library.—[2]— Elementary schoolchildren throughout the city have been coming to read and to listen to local athletes, singers, actors, and other celebrities read their favorite stories aloud. A combined total of more than 2,500 children have attended these events.—[3]—
The RCK was established by Joseph Stack and his family. The Stack family resettled in Kent in 1892 and was disturbed by the number of children who were unable to read. They therefore vowed to fight illiteracy in Kent and the surrounding area.—[4]— Since then, the RCK has donated more than 20,000 books to children living in poverty and has held special events such as this one on an annual basis.
