Dear Ms. Veratanavanit,

I am writing to thank you for authorizing Mr. Shinawakra of your staff to arrange a very fruitful visit by fifteen graduate students and faculty from the Bangkok Business University to the Diwikar Oil and Gas Corporation. Mr. Shinawakra planned a very interesting round-table discussion in the morning with several of your senior executives responsible for strategy implementation, concentrating in particular upon consumer behavior, cost dynamics, and corporate social responsibility—some of my students' particular areas of interest.

After eating lunch with the group, Mr. Shinawakra presented a very professional summary of career opportunities in corporate Thailand, especially at Diwikar Corporation. As a former executive of Diwikar, I was pleased that he did such an excellent job representing the company. We were all extremely impressed by his professional demeanor and the attention he gave to many details of the visit.

Very truly yours,

Thaksin Panupong

Dear Ms. Sylvia Alexander,

Ms. Dorothy Erickson of the TBM Group suggested that I write to you for information about job opportunities in the field of international communication at your company, NEXCOM International Co., Ltd.

Five months ago, I graduated from Concordia University, where I majored in Communications with a concentration in media relations. While I was at the university, I worked as the news editor of the Concord Times, interned for two semesters as a writer and editor at the TBM Group in the proposal division, and created my own small public relations company called Native PR.

My extensive experience of writing press releases and news articles in combination with my fluency in both Portuguese and Spanish would make me an ideal person to create communications materials for NEXCOM International Co., Ltd.

I will call you in a week to arrange a time when we can talk in person. In the meantime, please review my enclosed resume.

I hope to meet with you soon.

Sincerely,

Kenji Yanobe

best restaurants in the city. We're riding high, so it has me wondering if maybe I should use this as an opportunity to expand my business. What do you think？

WB Well, first of all, congratulations on your award. That's no small achievement. Now as for expansion, the main thing you need to think about is what that'll do for you and your staff. I mean—how much do you oversee operations right now？

MB Exactly, that's my main concern. I'm in the restaurant every day, and I oversee practically every detail. I definitely couldn't do that if I opened another restaurant.

WB No, you couldn't, which means you'd have to hire or train somebody you could trust. The main question is, what's the ideal size you can handle, and still maintain your quality.

Why has the man approached the woman？

A．To request business advice

leaving？

W: In just three weeks, and I am excited. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go.

M: Like what？

W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone.

M: You are not going to give it up, are you？

W: No way, I'll never find another apartment around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months' rent on an empty apartment either.

M: I don't blame you. Perhaps you could rent it.

W: Yes, but who to？

M: Mm, let me think. Oh, I know just the person, an old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August.

W: That's exactly when I'll be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agrees.

M: I'll tell you what, I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so H1 mention it to him then.

W: Well, thanks, Bill, let me know what happens. That extra money will really come in handy.

Dear Mr. James Palmer,

I am a tenant in your apartment at 295 Seneca Street. I am writing to you because I will need an extension on my August rent payment. As you know, my rent is always paid on the 1st of each month and no later than the 5th. Unfortunately, I will not be able to send the money on time and would like an extension to August 20.

Nature Publishing Group, where I used to work, was acquired by One Media Holdings last month. This company moved its corporate headquarters to Wilmington, Delaware. Although I lost my job, Nature Publishing Group' s employees here were promised severance pay but have yet to receive it. Company attorneys insist that payments will be made by August 18th.

I have leased this apartment from you for several years and have never been late with rent payment. As this apartment is comfortable and quiet, I have no desire to leave this place. My financial problems will be resolved, since I will start a new job at the beginning of September.

I would like to thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Bob Schmidt
