PART 4: READING COMPREHENSION – DOUBLE PASSAGES
Dear Mr. Wong,
This is my first day back from my trip to Asia. I wanted to send you a note right away to thank
you for the warm hospitality and help you provided during my visit. You and your staff
demonstrated incredible professionalism, kindness, and talent in all your efforts. The presentation
to the leadership team was unanimously well received.
My two trips to Singapore over the last three months have solidified my opinion and belief that
you and your team are definitely the right choice for our next groundbreaking project. I feel very
confident that you will spearhead a very successful initiative for us.
I will formally prepare the proposal details to send to my Chief Executive Officer, and I
recommend we take the next step and formalize a contract for this upcoming Project with you.
Once that has been drafted, I would like you and your senior members to take a trip to our offices
here in New York to review the final details together. We will make all the necessary travel
arrangements once we have a better idea about the timing. I trust that this will be good news for
you and your team. Please contact me with any questions in the meantime. Will be in touch with
you early next week.
Sincerely,
Wayne Forman

Re: Quick notes on my trip to Asia
Claire, I just wanted to send you a quick note before my formal proposal regarding my trip to Asia
and my assessment of the Adventure Media Services Group.
As discussed briefly, my trips to Singapore over the last several months have proved to be very
helpful in determining our next partner in our Project Best initiative. Adventure Media Services
presented exceptional credentials, substantiated by further meetings, research findings, and
facility tours.
I will be preparing my draft notes for the formal proposal, which I will submit for official
recommendation by the end of the week.
With your approval, we will then have the senior members of the Adventure Media Services join
us here in New York to work out the details.
Please keep your calendar open for their visit early next month.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please let me know.
Wayne
