Dear Pedro,

Per your request, below is the text for the labels for the new "Think Green Paper" line. The labels will be placed on the edge of the packaged reams of paper, so their size should not exceed 3 em by 8 em. The design should include the tree graphic we discussed yesterday. The text should read as follows:

  • Think Green Paper
  • 100% from recycled products
  • 90 g/m2 bond
  • Bright white

Please create a true-to-size and true-to-color sample version of the label by Wednesday, 21 April, and send it to the attention of my assistant, Dora Kensington. I will be out of the office on Wednesday, but I will review the sample and approve it as soon as I am back in the office on Thursday morning.

Questions 158 - 160 refer to the following customer review.

Posted by Padma Pradhan on Friday, September 23, at 12:34 P.M.

I took my mobile phone to the Vivi's Tech F.L" location on Rivas Boulevard and 23rd Street for help with a cracked screen. I dropped off the phone on a Tuesday afternoon, and by Wednesday morning I had received a quote by e-mail letting me know the cost to fL'{ it. I called to accept the quote and give my credit card number, and I was able to pick up the mobile the next day on my way home from work- as good as new. If you are looking for responsible professionals, Vivi's Tech Fix is the right place.

While I was in the store picking up my mobile, another customer came in. She was also picking up a damaged mobile; however, the technicians had informed her that the device could not be fixed because of severe water damage, so she owed them nothing. I was impressed that customers can get a free diagnostic from the technicians and don't need to pay anything if a device is beyond repair.

Dear Ms. Gonzalez,

Thank you for your generosity in donating to the Danton Public Library once again last year. Because of donations from you and others, we were able to purchase twenty new computers for our patrons' use. - [1] -. We also acquired a new collection of nonfiction books for our children's room.

At this time, I would like to tell you about another project we hope to complete with additional funds: converting many of our old, worn-out books into electronic files to help preserve their content for future use. This is a costly endeavor. - [2] - . If you are able to contribute even a small amount toward this new goal, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you are unable to make another monetary donation, please consider helping us complete some small renovation projects that we have scheduled for this year. - [3] - .

Live Chat

Maria Jacinto [10:24 A.M.]:

Good morning, everyone. I want to welcome Aika Okura to the chat.

Aika Okura [10:24 A.M.]:

Hi! I'm glad that my bookstore is able to cosponsor the writers' conference this year. It is agreat new opportunity for us.

Maria Jacinto [1 0:25A.M.]:

We are, too. We have expanded the conference to two days, so the additional sponsorship is a huge help. Alarger conference means more sessions and additional hotel arrangements.

Arthur Rufo [10:26 A.M.]:

Speaking of the hotels... The Rowtown Hotel was great last year, but it is booked for the dates we need this time around. The Fairmount at Clark has availability for October 17 and 18, though. It might be better since they have a larger meeting space and more options for the buffet.

Maria Jacinto [10:28 A.M.]:

That sounds good. Can you send us the pricing details?

Arthur Rufo [10:29 A.M.]:

They can offer a special room rate for conference attendees, too. As soon as I have the details, I'll e-mail everyone.

Maria Jacinto [10:30 A.M.]:

Great. How are we doing with the keynote speaker?

Aika Okura [10:31 A.M.):

Delora Lette has tentatively agreed.

Arthur Rufo [10:32 A.M.]:

Oh. I loved her latest mystery! I can see why it became a best seller so quickly.

Aika Okura [10:33 A.M.]:

Yes, she's great, and I've heard she's also a wonderful speaker. She has another engagement in October in London, and she wants to make certain she can do both events. She will confirm by the end of the week.

Maria Jacinto [10:34 A.M.]:

OK. It sounds like things are coming together. I'll check in again on Friday.

Questions 181 - 185 refer to the following e-mails.

To: custserv@ xanthusflowers.co. uk
From: mnair@nortraxpetrol.co.uk
Date: 27 July
Subject: Order #9871

Dear Sir or Madam:

On 24 July, I placed an online order for £180 for three arrangements of white roses and pink lilies on behalf of my company, Nortrax Petroleum. The flowers were meant to be delivered by 10 A.M. the following day for a company banquet that evening.

Unfortunately, the flowers did not arrive until noon. Moreover, the bouquets consisted of pink and white carnations. Worst of all, many of the flowers were either wilted or were shedding petals and thus could not be used to decorate the banquet room as planned. I was surprised and disappointed to be let down by Xanthus Flowers, a company we at Nortrax Petroleum have come to trust and depend on over the last five years.

Since the flowers were for a one-time event, a replacement order is not really an option. Consequently, I would like to receive a refund.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Mindy Nair
Corporate Event Coordinator
Nortrax Petroleum

To: mnair@nortraxpetrol.co.uk

Date: 28 July
Subject: Order #9871

Dear Ms. Nair,

We sincerely apologize for the problems you recently experienced with your order. We have recently transitioned to a larger facility and have experienced a few challenges as we adjust. It is our goal to provide on-time delivery and high-quality flowers for every order. We regret that this order did not live up to our high standards.

A refund cheque in the amount of £180 has been issued to your company. Because we are at fault, we would like to offer you a 20% discount plus free delivery on your next order.

Thank you for being a loyal customer. We look forward to serving you again in the near future.

Regards,

Bill McCabe

Hi, Jung Hee,

I just checked with our deliveries department and I am pleased that our July 10 order was delivered promptly by Singh Supplies as usual. However, now that we've finally moved the items into the warehouse, it appears we inadvertently ordered far too many of the sturdy crates. We use this item rarely, so it could take us years to go through this many. In addition, they ' re big, so we've had to stack several in the restoration department, where space is already at a premium. Could you contact Achint Singh today and find out if we can send half of them back? Please forward me any instructions he gives you and I'll take it from there.

Thank you!

Tolley Praises Local Farms


MANCHESTER (June 2)-Local horticulture expert Cassandra Tolley is scheduled to deliver a lecture Friday night at the Burton Auditorium in Manchester. The owner of Green Ridge Farm in nearby Windham County, Ms. Tolley will discuss the importance of supporting and promoting local farmers.

A strong advocate for small-scale farmers and a small-scale farmer herself, Ms. Tolley has traveled extensively over the past few years to deliver her message of "eating locally."

"If we make an effort to source our ingredients locally, we not only sustain and assist the local economy, we also encourage variety in the marketplace," says Ms. Tolley. "And that is beneficial to consumers."

"Everyone should spend their weekends browsing the regional farmers' markets," she adds. "It's the best place to get your groceries during the summer."

Friday night's lecture begins at 7 P.M. It is free, but seating is limited. Please arrive early. To view a comprehensive listing of statewide summer farmers' markets, visit www.vermontfarmersmarkets.org.
