MEMORANDUM
TO:
,FROM:
RE:
DATE:
We are going to relocate to new office space before the end of this month
in order to start business in the new space on Monday, August 1. I know
this is relatively short notice, but I know you'll be delighted with the larger
workspaces as well as the better view!
The new office space for B-4 is on the 11th floor of the Parker Building on
Renault Road, just a few minutes from here. The new location offers better
parking opportunities. It seems likely that everyone will get a personal parking
space!
The movers are coming on July 28 and 29. Until then, pack only non-essential
items. Packing materials will be made available from Monday, July 11. A
meeting to discuss any moving problems will be held this Friday at 2:00p.m.
See you then.

08:32- VP L. Hamilton begins the meeting and notes that six people are present.
08:35 - L. Iiamilton gives quarterly performance briefing by department.
H u man Resou rces: The number of employee complaints this quarter was
very low. Employee satisfaction events have been very successful.
Accounting: Both company and customer paperwork was completed very
slowly this quarter. The new Q-Form system does not work very well.
Sales: Sales were down this quarter. Many new customers opened contracts
with the company; however, several larger old accounts were lost.
D esign: Several new employees were hired this quarter and they have
produced very good work. However, the rate of production needs to
increase.
08:53 - The meeting is opened for discussion. Sales Supervisor K. Janes suggests
that Sales design a program of benefits for loyal customers.

This year's cell phones feature a lot of style. However, if you were hoping for big
advances in technology, you'll probably be disappointed.
Brokia Bgs: This phone will cost you an arm and a leg. However, for all that money,
you do get a phone with Internet access, a video camera, and an MP3 player. Our
recommendation: Buy last year's model, which has almost as many functions, and save
your money.
Jamsung 3000: Trying to tell the difference between this phone and the Jamsung 2ooo
was a challenge. Instead of being brightly colored, this one is black. Other than that,
this is really just the 2000. Our recommendation: A lot of money for not a lot of phone.
Don't bother.
Todorola Lite : This one doesn't have Internet or e-mail, either. However, it doesn't
have the high price of the Jamsung, and it's got a great video camera and an MP3
player. Our recommendation: As long as you don't really need to surf the Net on your
phone, this is the phone foryou.

You may have dreamed of getting rich by working from home, but you probably
never thought it was really possible. There are many offers for get-rich-quick
schemes out there. Everyone knows that most of these are scams. Don't be fooled
by imitations. Trust ReaiBucks! We've been the most trusted name in work-fromhome contract services for over 20 years.
If you're interested in clerical work, translation, dictation, data entry, freelance
writing, and more, ReaiBucks is the company for you. In the Internet age,

result: a lot of money going straight into your pocket.
Are you ready to make $1.000, $5,000, or even $10,000 per month without
leaving the comfort of your home? Let us help turn your dream into a reality. You
WILL make money with us. That's the ReaiBucks promise!

Good morning! My name is Bart Manstead, and I'm a science teacher at Greenbrier Middle
School in Greenbrier, Alberta, Canada. We are arranging a special science fair for Earth Day
this year at the school. I'm currendy in the process of organizing guest speakers for the event,
and I would like to extend an invitation to Greenstreak to be our Guest of Honor.
We are a regional middle school for students in 5th through 8th grades (about 11-14 years old)
for the city of Greenbrier and a number of surrounding districts. We have approximately 3,500
students at the school.
In order to determine if Greenstreak can provide what we're looking for, I would appreciate
it if you could send me more information about your presentations. Obviously, any kind of
seminar would have to fit the needs of our students, the limits of our facilities, and the school
budget. However, we would be delighted to arrange for you to be present at our science fair.
Please reply at your convenience with the requested information. Thanks!
Bart Manstead

All employees who will be participating in the company soccer match against
lntercomtech should be aware that the time of the game has changed from 4:00
p.m. to 4:30p.m . As a result, the shuttle bus that will be taking players to the
field will leave 30 minutes later, at 3:45p.m. rather than 3:15p.m. Make sure
that you arrive at least 10 minutes early to the south entrance to allow time to
sign out and to board the bus. After the bus arrives at the playing field, there
should be about 30 minutes to warm up before the game begins.
Spectators of the game must provide their own transportation. We hope that
everyone who is not playing will attend and cheer their co-workers on. Let's
have lots of fans there to celebrate our team's success. Thanks!

Dear Sirs:
I think I may have Blue Mountain mite infestation on several hundred acres of my property
here in Gooding. I'm a potato farmer, and I've noticed what I think are insect bites from
time to time. However, I've never seen the insects. They leave a small hole with red dirt
around it. I'm worried that this could be the Blue Mountain mite, but I've never been sick
from them.
My crops have suffered an average amount of damage, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Do you want me to prepare a few samples of my soil or potatoes, or will you do that
yourselves? Please contact me at home at 421-8001 , or reply by e-mail. I'm awaiting your
response. Thank you very much for your attention.

You've been there. You walk into a friend's entertainment center and almost trip over
the wires all over the floor. Hulking around the room are enormous, black speakers. Or
maybe this describes your own living room. It doesn't have to be this way.
Thanks to the Jazz Hipster Corporation, innovations in speakers allow for a more
modern, convenient, and affordable sound solution at every sound enthusiast's fingertips.
Jazz Hipster has produced a wide range of speakers for the plugged-in, on-the-go generation.
Their Mobile Theater was designed for computer users, vastly improving the sound available
while working or playing. Their Sound Walker speaker for notebook computers is so small
that it can fit on your palm but provides better audio quality than regular notebooks can.
For the home stereo set, what could be more appealing than bright and
attractive, space-age design, aluminum-covered speakers? A small remote
control device gives the owner complete control over all the speakers with its
wireless transmission function. Gone are those wire death traps all over the
floor, and in comes a world-class sound system. Don't hesitate to experience
great sound. Visit the showroom today.
