We thank you for your continued work and your dedication to your job at J&P Industries. -[1] - We are sending all employees information about the new changes that have been made to your health insurance benefits at our company. You will continue to be covered by the same insurance company, but because of the new state regulations that have been put forth, all employees must now undergo a basic medical check-up at a local clinic or hospital.

The medical check-ups will include a blood test, urine test, eye test, height and weight measurements, hearing test, and chest X-rays. - [3] - Please make an appointment with a local clinic. You should have your results given to Karen Leigh at Human Resources by December 30th at the latest. If you fail to get a medical exam, then you may be subject to a fine up to $2000. - [4] - We thank you for your cooperation and hope you abide by the new changes.

Issue with the Blackbeard’s Pirate Ship Model
August 3, 10:55 A.M.
Post by John Taylor
I recently purchased a model kit from the Mega Hobby online store. I bought the Blackbeard’s Pirate Ship model to put together with my son, and I am having a problem. After carefully reading the instruction manual, I noticed that a few essential parts have been left out of the box. Specifically, some parts that make up the mast and sail seem to be absent from the kit. I have bought many models from Mega Hobby for years and have always been happy with the products I received.
Has anyone else had the same problem with this kit? My son and I were planning to submit our finished model to a local model building contest at the end of the month, and we are very disappointed with this setback. If anyone else has any experience with this problem and solved it, I would greatly appreciate your advice.

Hi John,
I also recently purchased the Blackboard’s Pirate Ship model from the Mega Hobby online store for my son and had the same problem that you did. At first, I thought I must have been mistaken, but after checking the list of all parts in the instruction manual, I determined that several parts must have been missing from the kit at the time of sale. I took the kit back to my local Mega Hobby store and a staff member confirmed my suspicion. The Mega Hobby employee was nice enough to exchange my model kit for one that had all of the parts. With the new kit, my son and I were able to put together the model exactly like the picture on the box. I suggest that you go to the Mega Hobby store closest to your home and ask them to exchange your defective product. Be sure to make a note of the order number when you go there.Blooming Flower Yoga Studio

Also, on Monday, please give Ms. Meyers and any other new members the form they will need to fill out. I have attached the necessary paperwork to this e-mail. All you have to do is to print out copies and hand them out.
Your class now has nine members that will attend and is, therefore, almost at full capacity. In fact, all of the classes this summer have proved very popular, and I anticipate they will all fill up by the end of the month. Thank you so much for your many years of hard work as a teacher here at Blooming Flower Yoga studio. If you have any questions, let me know.

Comment: Last Meek, I came into your store to shop for a new pillow, sheet, and blanket set for my bed at home. However, when I went to that section, I couldn't find any available staff members to assist me. I waited for about half an hour, but no one came to me. I needed help determining what sheet and blanket set would fit the dimensions of my bed but ended up just leaving the store frustrated. I hope you can provide better service to customers so something like this doesn't happen again in the future. X have been a loyal customer of yours for years. If you don't explain why no one helped me, I may have to start shopping at one of your competitors' stores.
===========================
Hello everybody, I have called this meeting to talk about some of the problems that our new store policy of staying open later has caused. At first, this seemed like a great idea to help customers who worked all day. I know it can be hard to find time to do chores and your shopping when you work from 9 to 5. Unfortunately, this means that we have had to spread our staff too thin until we have hired and trained enough people. As a result, we have been neglecting some of our customers lately. The photocopied Comment and Suggestion Form I have passed out to you all from Willy King sums up our shortcomings better than I ever could. Please give it a read and think about ways we can be made aware of a customer in need, even in a store as large as ours.
I understand that with our thin staff, we have to cover more space than we used to, so this meeting isn’t about punishment or blame, it's just about solutions. Please do some brainstorming on this and drop in on me in my office if you think you have an idea; I have to go call Wily King.- http://www.acetraining.com

Dear Mr. York,
I’m contacting you about running a training program for some of our employees here at Zellen Gifts. We are planning on expanding our telemarketing department next month, but we don’t have enough properly trained employees to fill these new positions. Therefore, we will be transferring some employees from the customer service department to the telemarketing department to solve this problem. As our products are mainly targeted towards children, we are hoping to increase our profits as much as possible for this Christmas season. Please let me know the maximum number of students that you can accommodate at one time.
