Dear Mr. Fletcher,

We regret to inform you that Tropical Tours has been forced to call off the Southeast Asia tour

hit the region yesterday and has caused serious damage. The airports you were scheduled to use in
Jakarta, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur remain closed to commercial planes for the time being.
Airport officials believe it will be four days until air traffic will return to normal. And as the storm
travels, other tour destinations may be affected as well.
At this point, we can offer you and your wife a complete refund for the tour package. Your total
purchase price will be refunded to the credit card you used to book the tour. Alternatively, we can
book a tour for you at a later date. If you choose this option, we recommend waiting at least until
May so that your visit to the different locations is as pleasant as possible. Should you decide to
take the tour at a later time, we will also provide you with hotel upgrades at all the locations on
the itinerary.
We sincerely apologize for the situation as we understand that it is a last-minute cancellation, and
you have probably already prepared for the trip.
Sincerely,

new regional manager. Beryl Twispe, is getting along in her new position. Could you
contact her and find out if this would be a good time for me to visit? If so,
I would prefer traveling to Minneapolis by train, but I am not sure if it is a reasonable
option. However, if a train trip will take too long, go ahead and make reservations for a
flight out of Milwaukee.
I'd like to depart the day after the conference ends, and I'll also require accommodation in
Minneapolis. You don't have to take care of the arrangements for my stay in Milwaukee

popular branches in Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino,
the chain's new store, located in the Seaside Mall, is its largest
location yet. The space boasts an incredible variety of thousands
of games for multiple platforms that date back to the 1980s.
There is also a smaller section of game consoles, handheld
players, and an assortment of other vintage video game devices.
Used movies on videotape or DVD are also available.

Kendra Brown, founder of Everything Video, says, "A lot of

people miss owning physical objects." She explained that the
shift in recent years to playing games and watching movies
online has indirectly created a demand for physical products.
"Often, our customers buy these items for sentimental reasons."

Not only can customers do some shopping, but Eveiything Video

buys stock as well. If you have games, movies, or devices they're
interested in, staff offer cash payments or store credit to use at
any of their locations in exchange for them.

According to branch manager Dane Cruz, as an introductory

special, shoppers who buy three games or more will receive a 20
percent discount off their total purchase amount. The offer is
valid until August 1 and is only available at the San Diego
branch.

Dear Mr. Macaulay,

My name is Allan Carpenter, and I just recently moved into the Cornwood Condominium. I have two teenage
daughters, Tamara and Kristin, who are interested in signing up for the swim lessons being offered this
summer. Tamara is 13 and is already quite an accomplished swimmer, having been a varsity member at her
previous school for two years. The younger one, who is 11, has had less experience as a swimmer, but she is
certainly not a beginner.

I am planning to visit administration office this week with my daughters to sign them up, but I wanted to
find out whether you accept credit cards as a method of payment. Please let me know as soon as it is
convenient. Thank you!
