We are pleased to announce that our latest design, the Suppliss Seat, will be introduced on Honshu Express's Tokyo-Osaka service route, which is scheduled to debut soon. Since last February, our design team has worked closely with Honshu Express to produce a comfortable seat that meets the most stringent safety standards. Like all our products, it is made of lightweight yet durable materials, resulting in significant fuel-cost savings over time. The prototype for the Suppliss Seat has received high marks from designers and was nominated for a Henry Design Award in January.

Hello, Joseph,

I hope that you are well. Many thanks for your quick turnaround since we tested the product with a small group of consumers last month. The features your team added to the initial design are perfect, particularly the optional footrests. We were also impressed with the overall style and noticed how well the seats fit in with the contemporary look of our air carrier interiors.

By the way, the Tokyo-Osaka service route will go operational at the end of April. I'll send you the details next week so that you can post them on your Web site.

Thanks again,

Yoshi

Dear Ms. Goncalves:

As owner of Sabatini Leather Goods, I would like to express interest in a short-term leasing opportunity at La Gardina Mall.

Sabatini Leather Goods is a small company that manufactures and sells souvenir handbags and wallets. Our high-quality leather products are imprinted with the name of the tourist destination where they are sold.

We have sold our products in 24 different locations so far, all with great success.

We have been looking for a place in Bay Shore for a while, and La Gardina Mall seems to be a good fit. We would like a space of about 150 square meters for a three-month period over the summer tourism season. Could you please call me at 555-01 25 so that we can discuss this matter further?

Dear Ms. Zuckerman:

I regret to inform you that Tyche Fine Carpets, the supplier we selected for the carpets in The Pavel Hotel's lobby and lounge areas, will not have our chosen pattern available until after the hotel's anticipated opening date of March 1. Attached are photographs of several alternative selections that I believe will work well with the decor. They are all made of the same material as the previous selection, and the prices are comparable. With the grand opening less than a month away, I need a decision from you as soon as possible. Even with this last-minute change, I am certain that The Pavel Hotel will provide the ambience we have set out to create.

Thank you,

Pavel Hotel Open
by Lavonne Coe


(Centerville-March 2) Former city court judge Mildred Simpson joined owner Patrice Snell yesterday to celebrate the opening of The Pavel Hotel in downtown Centerville, between the library and the visitors center. Once the city's courthouse and Ms. Simpson's workplace, the existing structure had been vacant for the past nine years. Now the space boasts 34 elegant rooms, an inviting lounge with a fireplace, and a gorgeous lobby. An on-site cafe is expected to open next month. The interior, designed by Miles Sorrell, retains the old features of the building, such as expansive windows and high ceilings, while creating a warm and inviting space.

September 18

I used Bright Now Home's new in-store customer pickup for the first time this week. The service was a big time-saver because my order was ready for me when I got to the store. Since I had already paid online, I didn't have to wait in the regular line in the store.

Unfortunately, I didn't double-check my order before I left the store. When I arrived at the house I was working on, I realized I had received only one of the two gallons of BN-101 paint I had ordered. I called the store immediately, and the manager arranged for me to pick up the missing gallon of paint at the location closest to where I was working. Also, he gave me my money back for both gallons. I will definitely use this service again!
