Frank Cameron 2:22 P.M. 

Have you heard when production on the new laptop will begin? 

Liz Cohen 2:24 PM. 

I called Stan Lowell, and he said he can't get things started at the factory for at least another four weeks. 

Frank Cameron 2:26 P.M. 

That's not good news. What's causing the delay? 

Liz Cohen 2:28 PM. 

He says the plant can't proceed until the engineering department finishes testing the product. It's taking them longer than anticipated. 

Frank Cameron 2:29 P.M. 

But we're scheduled to ship the computers to stores at the beginning of next month. Do you think that it will be possible to meet that target?

Liz Cohen 2:31 PM. 

Not a chance given the current situation. 

Frank Cameron 2:33 P.M. 

I see. How do you think the sales representatives will take the news? 

Liz Cohen 2:34 PM. 

They'll be fine as long as we inform them in advance. At this point, we just need to focus on shipping the best possible product to market, even if it is a bit late.

Subject: Budget Proposal 

Dear Ms. Hale, 

After reviewing last year's budget figures, I would like to propose a few changes to this year's budget plan. If these changes are accepted, I predict that the company will reduce its operation costs by approximately 40 percent. 

First, I noticed that the company allocated one fourth of its -total budget to purchasing office supplies. Of the office supplies that we purchase each year, paper is by far the most expensive. I think that requiring all employees to print documents on both sides of the paper will significantly cut down on costs. Second, the company currently employs 200 people, however, only about 150 people are needed for the company to function properly. 

Therefore, I propose the company reduces its workforce by 50 people before the start of the next fiscal year. I realize that this second proposal may seem drastic, but according to my estimates, if the company does not significantly cut costs by the end of December 2008, It will be forced to file for bankruptcy. 

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Benson, 

I have written to you several times over the past two months requesting an explanation on why you have failed to bring your account with us up-to-date. 

By ignoring these requests, you are damaging the excellent credit record you had previously maintained with our company. In addition, every month that you fail to pay your account, you receive a $25 late payment fee. As of the date of this letter, your account balance is $235.04. 

Unless I hear from you within ten days, I will have no other choice but to turn your account over to a debt collection agency. I am sorry that we must take such drastic action but I am afraid you leave us no choice. You can preserve your credit rating by sending us a check for the amount stated above. 

Sincerely, 

Ross Gunter

Dear Mr. Benson 

Thank you for your letter. You deserve an explanation for what went wrong in our accounting department, and I hope that this letter will help resolve our recent error. It has taken a lot of time to find out what happened, so please accept our apologies for the delay in this response. 

A thorough look at our records revealed that we did receive your April payment on time, as you stated in your letter of June 25. However, it was credited to an account which bears a similar name to yours. Therefore, we began sending you our standard notices requesting payment, in keeping with our routine policy. 

I am sorry for all the distress we have caused you You have been a valued customer of ours for a long time and we appreciate your understanding. To express our sincerest apologies, we would like to send you a $175 gift certificate to The Wilson Spa and Massage Center.

USER REVIEW Wheel-Pals Carpooling Application 

By Jason Diaz Odiaz@vastpost.co.au)   ★★★★

Wheel-Pals recently launched its service in the Auckland area, and having already used the application while living in Brisbane, I was one of the first to sign up. As before, I purchased the basic package because, in the past, it had enough services to help me form carpool groups with other drivers or riders that live nearby However, I don't think Wheel-Pals has done enough to promote its launch in this area. !sometimes find it difficult to find people to carpool with. In Brisbane, I only drove my car to work once or twice a week, but now I have to do it more often. Also, few people hat I know locally are even aware of the application.
