Dear Mr. Winters,
I have finished my review of your company's financial arrangements. Fortunately, there are a number of measures I believe you can take in order to improve the profitability of your business.

The other major change I recommend is to move to an incentive-based payment scheme for teachers. I feel that implementing this system will encourage teachers to be more innovative and dynamic in the classroom, (88) more customers for the business.
I have attached a full copy of the report to this email. For clarification (89) any of the matters covered in the report, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am interested in applying for the managing consultant position you have posted on your Web site. I believe that my background and experience make me an attractive candidate for your consideration.
After graduating from State University, I founded a small computer graphic-design company, Online Style. This company became increasingly successful over the years. I hold 65 percent of the shares and continue on its board of directors as chairperson, although I have relinquished my position as general manager and stepped down as CEO.
The agency I now direct, Business First, provides consulting services for companies interested in improving the effectiveness of their advertising. Despite the success of this new business venture, I am seeking at this time to relocate to Venice for personal reasons.
As you can see from the enclosed resume, I have a broad background in business development and marketing as well as advertising. Because of my diverse experience, I have developed strong skills in financial consulting. I have also acquired expertise in designing presentations for large audiences and planning successful business meetings.
I believe my skills and abilities fit the description of the person you are seeking. While I am knowledgeable about general business issues in both the domestic and international arenas, I will want to thoroughly understand those that are unique to your business, and I am confident that I can do so rapidly. One of your requirements, maintaining good community relations, happens to be one of my greatest strengths. I would be happy to provide you with names of people who can personally testify to this.

In early June, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)—the club of the world's wealthy and almost wealthy nations released a 208-page document perversely titled "Pensions at a Glance". Inside is a rundown of how generous OECD members are to their burgeoning ranks of retirees.
The US is near the bottom, with the average wage earner able to count on a government-mandated pension for just 52.4% of what he got (after taxes) in his working days—and higher-income workers even less. But the picture at the other end of the scale (dominated by Continental Europe) is misleading. Most of these governments haven't put aside money for pensions. As the ranks of retirees grow and workforces do not, countries will have to either renege on commitments or tax the hides off future workers.
What the OECD data seem to suggest is that you can run a retirement plan that's fiscally sound but stingy, or you can make big promises that will eventually go sour. The US fits mostly in the former category—for all the gnashing of teeth about Social Security, its funding problems are modest by global standards.
But is that really the choice？ Actually, no. At least one country appears to have found a better way. In the Netherlands—"the globe's No.1 pensions country," says influential retirement-plan consultant Keith Ambachtsheer—the average retiree can count on a pension equal to 96.8% of his working income. Ample money is set aside to fund pensions, and it is invested prudently but not timidly. Companies contribute to employees' accounts but aren't stuck with profit-killing obligations if their business shrinks or the stock market tanks.
The Dutch have steered a middle way between irresponsible Continental generosity and practical Anglo-American stinginess. They have also, to lapse into pension jargon, split the difference between DB and DC plans. In a defined-benefit (DB) plan, workers are promised a retirement income, and the sponsor—usually a corporation or government—is on the hook to provide it. In a defined-contribution (DC) plan, the worker and sometimes the employer set aside money and hope it will be enough.
The big problem with DB is that sponsors are prone to lowball or ignore the true cost. In the U. S. , where corporate pensions provide a key supplement to Social Security, Congress has felt the need to pass multiple laws aimed at preventing companies from underfunding them. In response, some companies spent billions shoring up their funds; many others simply stopped offering pensions. Just since 2004, at least 66 big companies have frozen or terminated their DB plans, estimates Barclays Global Investors. Corporate DB has given way to individual DC plans like the 401(k) and IRA, but these put too much responsibility on the shoulders of individual workers. Many don't save enough money, and those who do set aside enough earn returns that are on average much lower than those of pension funds.
The Netherlands, like the US, has long relied on workplace pensions to supplement its government plan. The crucial difference is that these pensions were mandatory. Smaller employers had to band together to make a go of it, and industry-wide funds became standard. Run more as independent cooperatives than as captive corporate divisions, the Dutch funds were less prone to underfunding than their US counterparts. When they nonetheless ran into financial trouble in 2002 after the stock market crashed and interest rates sank, the country came up with a unique response. The Dutch funds are now no longer on the hook for providing a set income in retirement no matter what happens to financial markets that is, they've gone DC—but they didn't shunt everything to individual workers. Risks are shared by all the members of a pension fund, and the money is managed by professionals.
Pension consultant Ambachtsheer argues that thi
A．the US does not have big pension problems in comparison with other countries
B．continental Europe is in fact not doing that well with retirement-related issues
C．governments are generally reneging on their promises with pension problems
D．countries are all doing pretty well with retirement issues
