February 9-Nemway Group has announced that 80 Re-Fit stores will be closing down around the country in the next six months with 100 more to follow within the year. - [1] - However, the last ten years has seen a steady decline in sales as consumers turned to other clothing retailers such as Zanas and HRM. - [2] - "I don’t know, I just found the clothing to be outdated,” says a former customer. “They should have updated the styles and offered non-sporty options.”
CEO Derrick Greenwich agrees, “We focused so much on particular styles of sportswear that we lost sight of the changing tastes of consumers. We’re working on restructuring the company and offering consumers what they want. We’ll come back bigger than ever.” - [3] -
An internal review of the losses will continue to be conducted as nervous shareholders consider their next moves. - [4] - Nemway is hoping that a good portion of the Re-Fit stores will remain in operation as the company struggles to reinvent the brand.- CONTENTS

Dear Mr. Hanson,
I am currently finalizing all the details for my visit to your company’s headquarters in Santa Fe. Thank you for inviting me down to take part in these business negotiations. Please let me know what time I should arrive. Will the meeting begin after lunchtime like it did last time?
You won’t need to pick up me up, as I have arranged for a cab to pick me up at the Santa Fe Bus Terminal. Fortunately, a new bus line was established between where I live and your offices. It has made transit in the Southwestern region considerably convenient.
There are routes that now travel to Denver and Phoenix as well. Also, thanks to some lucky circumstances, I will be able to buy my ticket to Santa Fe at half the original price.
I can’t wait to see you and your co-workers again soon.

Dear Mr. Peterson,
I am looking to engage the services of your catering company, A Taste of Class, for our Christmas party at the end of this year. Ideally, we would like to have our event on Saturday, December 20. I just have a few questions about your services. First, do you provide decorations? I really want this year’s party to be a hit; it is my first time being responsible for it and I really want to impress the boss. Second do you have a wide range of vegetarian dishes? We have 12 vegetarians on our staff of 35, so it will be important to provide them a full meal, not just appetizers. If you could get back to me with the answers to my questions and your availability for the 20th, I would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Hostrum,
I am delighted that you have contacted A Taste of Class to help make your Christmas party one to remember. Let me answer all of your questions and put your mind at ease. To begin with, we have one team left that can cater you for the 20th of December, so you are in luck! As far as the decorations are concerned, we have several different themes to choose from; please visit our website at www.atasteofclass.com to see pictures of our successful events from the past. They are labeled with themes so you may just choose one that appeals to you. Your final inquiry regarding the vegetarian option will also require some decision making on your part. We offer gourmet dining and are happy to specially prepare 12 vegetarian meals, but that can be a little bit expensive. I don’t know what your budget is, but might I suggest making the entire menu vegetarian? We have an outstanding vegetarian chef, Julia Monroe, who can prepare a full vegetarian buffet so delicious a lion would eat it! This option is also a lot more cost-effective than preparing two separate menus. After reviewing your options, please let me know what choices are best for you.
Sincerely,
Brian Petersen,

Subject:Defective Hose
Dear Ms. Jenkins,
Recently, I purchased 5,000 yards of XP100 industrial hosing from your company, star Products. The hosing was listed as capable of handling up to 1,000 pounds of pressure per square inch (psi). My company, Advanced Dynamic Cleaning, refitted all of our pressure washers with your hosing at considerable cost and time. Every single one of our pressure washers failed somewhere along the hosing from the joint of the gun to the compressor. Our compressors only create 500 psi, so I have to conclude that there is some defect in the design of your hose. I would like to get a refund of my purchase or a replacement of my order with hosing that meets industry standards. I have included my purchase order and a copy of the invoice.
Sincerely,
Jose Ramos

Subject:Defective Hose
Dear Mr. Ramos,
We have received your report of a defective hose and reviewed the attached documents. We really value your business and hate that you went through such a waste of time and energy with our hosing. However, I am afraid to say that the mistake may be on your end. In looking over your purchase, you clearly ordered XP100 hosing X 5,000 yards. If you look at the specs for that hosing, it is only rated at appropriate for 100 psi. This could explain why all of your hosing failed. What I can offer you is an exchange of the remaining XP100 hosing in your inventory for a hosing more appropriate to your needs. We will do this at no charge and pay for the shipping as a show of our appreciation for your business. Please fill out the purchase order that I have attached and include it with the XP100 hosing when you ship it back to US for exchange.
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Roberts,
My name is Leroy Jenkins and I am planning a family reunion for the first weekend of October. I have heard from some friends that your parties are absolutely the best. I really want to make a good impression with my sister's new in-laws; it will be the first time that they join our family for our annual reunion. I just have a few questions for you. First, I need to know how much you would charge for a party for 25 people. I can afford $25 per person, not including alcohol. My family is also a little bit picky with the food they like, so if it is possible for you to send a list of the foods that you provide and the cost per person, I would like to go through it and create my own menu. The last question I have for you is staffing. I really don't want to be cleaning up and doing dishes during the party. Do you provide staff, and if so, how much do you charge for their service? Please write me back so we can get this party planned!
All the best, Leroy Jenkins
