Subject: Sales representative recruitment
Date: July 15
Dear Mr. Carlyle,
As you know, we launched the sales representative recruitment effort last week for your
department. Unfortunately, we found that the online job application system was down from
July 12 to July 14. Technical support has resolved the issue, but today is the application
deadline. I’m afraid that even if some potential candidates know that the system is back
online, they won’t have enough time to set up online accounts and submit all their
documents. I would be happy to schedule interviews for those candidates who have been
able to complete their applications, but at this point, there are only eleven. I know we
were hoping to attract a larger number of applicants. I think the best course of action now
would be to allow for a few more days to increase the pool of applications. If you agree,
would you authorize the change and let me know? I can take it from there.

Thank you,

From: Marcus Andrews <[email protected]>
Date: 15 May
Subject: Angle iron
Dear Ms. Cote,
Thank you again for taking my call this morning. I sincerely appreciate your willingness
to grant me a policy exception. To summarize, I placed an order for 20 bars each of
12-metre, 10-metre, and 8-metre angle iron for a total price of $2,300. I understand my
order will be available at about 3:00 P.M. this afternoon. I forgot to mention that I’m
concerned that my truck is not sturdy enough to bear the full load of the materials all at
once. Consequently, I’m going to have to make multiple trips to transport them from your
warehouse to my workshop. I presume this will not pose a problem.
Sincerely,
Marcus Andrews
