To: Rick Deevers
From: Jan Ford
Date: May 6
Subject: Welcome party

Hi Rick,

I’m writing to remind you that as the designated organizers, we need to start putting the welcome party together for the new employees who’ll be joining our team next month.

Ideally, the party would take place the week they start, which should be June 6. Let me confirm this first with Amanda.She’ll be back at work on Monday.

As for the venue, we need to think about having the party catered if we’re going to use the cafeteria like we did last year.
Don’t you think choosing an off-site location would be easier? Have them include food and drinks for a set price per person?

In any case, let’s get together this week to see what we can come up with.

TO: Mr. Colby Kent, Pennbrook Inc.
FROM: Heidi Peters, Best Solutions
DATE: June 11
SUBJECT: Profits


Dear Mr. Kent,

I am glad to be able to provide assistance concerning your company’s recent issues with profits leveling off. Below are suggestions for boosting revenue.


Online expansion:
Revise and expand your company’s Web site to make it more attractive to a wider customer base. In addition, holding online promotional events on a regular basis will tweak customer interest and motivate them to visit the Web site more often, thereby encouraging purchasing. Offering items that can only be purchased online is also appealing.

Stagger the introduction of new items:
Introduce new items once every two to three weeks instead of the current system where you present an entire line four times a year. Customers are always looking for something new-offering. New items at shorter intervals will have customers checking your products more frequently.

I would be happy to answer any questions or to expand on the above.


Sincerely,
Heidi Peters

EX-ERNESTO DAIRY VP TO HEAD HOLMAN HEALTH

April 17—It was announced today that Carla Stark, vice president of Ernesto Dairy of Premium Ice Cream fame until January of this year, would become head of Holman Health Inc. as of April 20.

Holman Health, a giant in the dietary supplement industry, has been looking to replace its CEO Bud Rollins, who has indicated publicly on numerous occasions that he and the firm’s board of directors cannot seem to agree on anything.

It is reported that Holman Health shareholders have great expectations for Stark to work the same magic she did for Ernesto—Stark was responsible for creating the Premium Ice Cream brand which resulted in Ernesto acquiring a surprising 20 percent share of the gourmet ice cream market.

TO: Cliff Mercola, Human Resources
FROM: Barbara Wang, Sales & Marketing
DATE: November 4
SUBJECT: New employees

Although the manager of our department set the number of new employees for Sales & Marketing at the annual meeting two weeks ago, I feel there is a need to rethink the situation.

The results from the market research conducted for our new line of cross-training sportswear have come in, and the response is less favorable than expected. This is an indication that we would need at least three more new employees in Sales & Marketing to handle the task of promoting the line.

This matter needs immediate attention but our manager is on vacation and will not be back until Monday.
Would it be possible for you to meet with us on Tuesday to discuss the hiring situation? I look forward to hearing from you.

Patio started as a small trading firm two decades ago, importing housewares, furniture, and home accessories made in exotic locations.The business has grown to include more than 80 retail stores in major cities and suburban areas across the US.
