Re: Summer Assignment
Dear Daniel,
Hello, Daniel. I’ve been out of town for a week and noticed that you sent me an e-mail regarding the summer assignment. I don’t have access to my work e-mail account at home. I hope this e-mail is not too late to answer your questions about the assignment. Well, the first thing you probably want to do is to read the materials I posted on the school website. That should answer most of your questions. If you’re still having a problem after reviewing the materials, feel free to e-mail me again. I’ll be more than happy to answer your questions.
Best Wishes,
Professor Carri

Questions 32-34 refer to the following notice.
Financial Solutions for Everyone
Author: Justin Marshall
Reviewed by: Christine Petrelli
As the title of the book suggests, readers can expect financial solutions that work for anyone and in any situation. However, after reviewing the book, it is clear that the author in fact talks .about his personal financial success rather than case by case solutions. In other words, the purpose of this book is not to provide readers with true financial advice but to admire his own financial prosperity through a series of very fortunate financial opportunities and not a strategic approach to financial problems. If readers fail to keep in mind that the circumstances surrounding the author at the time of his financial success were mere luck and something that does not apply to everyone, they will be misled.
Question 32: What is the tone of the reviewer?

Questions 35-38 refer to the following e-mail.
Dear Margaret,
I wish this letter could have been more cheerful, but I must tell you that Mrs. Stewart passed away last night at 10:32 PM. Although she fought her breast cancer bravely and was in some pain for a while, she passed away peacefully while sleeping. I know she was a special person to you as much as she was to me. We all are truly sad for our loss, but I believe we should organize an appropriate funeral for her.
The funeral is scheduled to be on March 5th, two days from today, at St. Paul’s church. The funeral will be presided over by Reverend John Smith. Jessica will give a short speech on Mrs. Stewart’s life and her influence on other people after the Reverend. After the funeral, everyone is asked to come to a gathering at the Shorby Club at 7:00 PM. There will be food and drinks provided by the Stewart family.
I hope you can make it to the funeral and also attend the gathering after the funeral. Your presence would be very meaningful to the Stewart family. I hope to see you at the funeral.
Take care.
Sincerely,
Melinda Stewart

Questions 39-43 refer to the following letter.
To: Hoyeon
From: Elizabeth Stiles
Dear Hoyeon,
I’m leaving this note because you were away when I visited your house. I’ve noticed that you signed up for my English class on weekends. I stopped by today because I wanted to talk about the class schedule. I see that you requested the class from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Unfortunately, that class is no longer available.
What we can do is that we can move your class to either a later time on the same day or at the same time on a different day. Is there any particular reason that you want to study on the weekend? Actually, weekdays work better for me. If you don’t have a problem moving your class to a weekday, that would be great for me. If not, we can figure something else out.
I will be out of town for three days from next Monday. I know we still have two weeks until your classes are scheduled to start, but I’d like to figure this out before I leave on vacation. I also have some materials that I’d like you to go over before class starts. Please let me know when is a good time to meet.
I’m really looking forward to teaching you. I’m sure you’ll perform well and that your English will improve tremendously! I’ll do my best to help you.
Take care!

To: genevapublictransportation@pubtrans.com
From: john.wilson@emailservice.com
Subject: Compensation for damages on the night of the 10th
To whom it may concern,
This e-mail is to attach an official written claim regarding the accident that occurred on the night of the 10th of September. Just as we have agreed, I have attached an estimate of the cost of repairs based on AVIS Maintenance Shop’s examination results.
To remind you, I was heading back towards my place after work that night and when passing through the intersection at Park and Madison, a bus ran a red light and crashed into my car, a Rexur SE 750, knocking my bumper off and smashing the driver’s side window.
I would also like you to reimburse me for my medical expenses and all transportation expenses until my vehicle is repaired. To this end, I am also attaching all medical receipts and the approximate transportation expenses.
Thank you,
John Wilson

Eco Brother Class “A” Paper Company
Minimum Input – Maximum Output is What You Strive For, Small Change-Big Enjoyment is What We Strive to Offer YOU!
I bet you that you have experienced a frustrating situation due to paper jamming whether you are at home or at the office. Anyone who has a printer must have experienced something like this at least once! Most people think that paper jamming occurs because of the printer. However, more often than not it’s the quality of the paper that triggers the jamming.
Try out our product and you will be thoroughly satisfied. With 30 years of manufacturing experience and the passion to satisfy customers, EcoBrothers Paper Manufacturing Company has finally developed a distinguished type of paper that will never be the cause of the jamming. Furthermore, the company has added a chemical ingredient that controls the typical smell of recycled paper. Thus, it will be as fresh as newly processed paper!
For more information about our company and our products, please feel free to visit our website at www.ecobrotherspaper.com, call our customer service at 212-230-9812, or e-mail us at customer.service@ecobrothers.com
