W-Am: Hi, Armand, this is Linda from the management office of Redfox Apartments. I received your message about your dishwasher not working properly, so I've called a repair person to come and fix it on Monday morning at eleven o'clock. Since you'll probably be at work at that time, could you please stop by the management office before then? You'll need to leave a letter giving permission for the repair person to enter in your absence.

M-Au: Hi, everyone. Thanks for coming to this last-minute meeting. Remember the large order of glassware we shipped to the client in California? It's been a week. So, I called the shipping company this morning and apparently we put the wrong address on the labels. They've located the boxes and are reshipping them immediately to the correct address. But since we could have lost one of our biggest clients over this mistake, I want to make sure this never happens again. Masaki, I'd like you to go through our address list and double-check all of our clients' addresses.

into our system until I have that information. It's important we take care of this today, so he can get paid on time. Can you send Mr. Ellis to my office as soon as possible? I realize this may interrupt his training. This form is only one page, though. Um... thanks.

M-Au: Hello, everyone. Thanks again for attending this screening of my film documentary, Cultural Cuisines. I apologize again for starting a little late - the projector wasn't working properly. Before I show the film, I'd like to tell you a bit about it. A few years ago I traveled to Bolivia and fell in love with its food and its food culture. In the movie, a group of people from a small Bolivian village show you how problems can be resolved while everyone's enjoying a delicious meal. At two hours long, it is a long film... but I'll be answering questions when it's over.

W-Br: Good morning, team. Congratulations on creating such a successful marketing campaign for our Heritage Mill cookies. We've already seen a dramatic increase in this product's sales since the launch of the television commercial, so I'd like you to expand this marketing campaign to our other products as well. According to a recent survey, our customers really liked the images of the families eating together that they saw in our commercials. So let's keep this concept in mind as we think of ideas for our other products. We'll discuss those ideas at our meeting next week.

W-Br: Last week I went to the yearly retreat for Kierson Bookstore managers. The good news coming out of that meeting concerns money. Each store in the chain will have an increased budget next year to spend on expanding one of the sections in their store. After I returned, I took an informal survey about what kind of books customers would like us to carry more of. As you can see from the chart, it's clear which one they like the best. And the art section will need to be reduced, unfortunately. That inventory has become too expensive to stock.
