Dear Ms. Emilie Green,

Thank you for meeting with us the other day. It was a very productive meeting and I think that we will be able to do business together. I'm glad to know that your distribution company, Kellogg Inc., is interested in distributing our products to the Asian market. We have long felt that our snack items would have a good market in Asia, but had not found a suitable distributor until now. I feel that Kellogg knows the Asian market very well and will suit our needs.

I was impressed with Mr. Ron Evans's vow to sell our product to grocery chains, specialty stores and food service companies.

I have attached a contract for you to look over. Please sign it and send it back to me by the end of next week. It's a basic business agreement between our two companies. I look forward to receiving the distribution agreement from you. After the two agreements are signed, we would like to meet with you once more to confirm our future business relationship.

I will contact you once I receive the distribution agreement to schedule another meeting.

Regards,

Tony Higginson

Why was the meeting held？

A．To review costs for distribution costs

Dear Mr. John Simons,

I was pleased to see your advertisement for the position of Chief Accountant in the October 31 edition of World Star Newspaper.

I have been interested in your corporation for some time and have particularly noticed the recent achievements she has made with her product development program. The article by the CEO, Mr. Jefferson, in the Economic Review of February last year, gave some particular insights into development in this field.

I would like to apply for the position advertised. As well as holding the qualifications requested I also have relevant background that would make me a useful member of your corporation. Four years of college have trained me in accounting and full charge bookkeeping through trial balance. My 30 credits in accounting and courses in electronic data processing have equipped me to work with computer-based companies like yours. Training in business writing, human relations, and psychology should help me achieve solid rapport with them. And advanced studies in investment accounting will enable me to analyze the investing prospects from a planning perspective.

Because your company specializes in investment, my work experience could also be beneficial. After two years as a part-time financial analyst at George Commercial Group, I gained some practical knowledge in investment forecasting and decisionmaking. My accomplishments at that company were acknowledged by a substantial salary increase.

Mr. White, vice- manager of the City Bank, and other references on the enclosed resume will confirm you my potential for the accountant position.

At a time convenient for you, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications for beginning a career with Walters Corporation. You may contact me at the cell phone number in the resume or the address on the letterhead.

Thank you for your consideration!

Sincerely yours,

Allen Porter

To Nancy Parrot

I joined Act Fitness Club in St. Petersburg more than a year ago. The salesman convinced me I had nothing to lose in purchasing a membership, as I could get my money back during the first month.

One week after joining, my husband was suddenly admitted to the intensive care unit and died five weeks later. I kept Act Fitness Club informed of this and was told by the salesman to keep making my monthly payments as I would get a full refund.

I have called numerous times and sent a letter and copy of the death certificate.

Act Fitness Club has returned none of my four months' credit card charges of $25 each and my membership fee of $100.

I need your help.

Gym gave full refund; check the credit card statement

By Nancy Parrot

Response: John Masters, membership services manager for Act Fitness Club in St. Petersburg, said you signed a month-to-month membership with the club, and agreed to all the terms and conditions, which included the four-week comfort guarantee.

This guarantee specifically states that a member may cancel at any time during the first four-week membership period if certain conditions are met, including utilizing the club three times during each of the initial weeks.

You did not meet the requirements, Masters said, but Act Fitness Club understood your situation and as a courtesy issued a full refund to your credit card June 12.

We are forwarding a copy of the credit slip Masters sent us and suggest you take a look at your credit card statements from this period to make sure the credit posted. Let us know if it did not.

Why did Arson Mackey write the letter to Nancy Parrot？

A．To complain about poor facility.

B．To ask for help.

C．To join the fitness club.

D．To participate in a survey.

ir family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents gave me both of my other names.

People don't use their middle names very muck So "John Henry Brown" is usually called “John Brown". People never use Mr., Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.

Sometimes people ask me about my name. “When you were born, why did your parents call you Jim？" they ask, “Why did they choose that name？" The answer is they didn't call me Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.

Most English people have three names.

A．True.

B．False.
