Date: January 23, 20— Subject: Stop sign down
------------------------------------------------------ To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to let you know that there is a stop sign down, at the corner of Cherry Street and Tenth
Avenue. It must have fallen down during the storm last night.
I'm concerned because this is a residential area that borders the high school property. The corner gets a lot of traffic, especially when school is in session, and I believe it could be dangerous without a stop sign. Normally, Cherry and Tenth is a four-way-stop intersection. As you can no doubt imagine, without the stop sign, the possibility for accidents is high.
If you would like to contact me, please feel free to do so:
742-488-3126. Thanks,
Becky Price.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Product Trial's Review
April 20-- Spotlight: Paper Shredders
Most reviewers agree that cross-cut shredders are more secure than strip-cut shredders. This is because cross-cut shredders produce paper confetti, which is more difficult to put back together than the paper strips from strip-cut shredders. What our reviewers found was that for light-use paper shredders, the strip- cut models functioned better than the cross-cut models. The light-use cross-cut models that we tested were prone to paper jams.
Product Trial tested more models made by Shuffle because they make the most paper shredders of any company. We also noticed that Shuffle receives more complaints than any company, especially for their light and medium use models. Heavy use models by Shuffle are known for their quality and durability.
Our favorite paper shredder is the Privacy Solutions PL-7800, which retails for $120. This cross-cut paper shredder works well, did not jam in any of our tests, and is well worth the money. The Privacy Solutions PL-7800 is rated for ten sheets of paper and, although it operated faster with fewer sheets, it had no trouble with all ten. It can handle about 300 sheets per day. It can also shred CDs. If you don’t need a CD shredder and have minimal shredding needs, the Privacy Solutions PL-6100, which retails for $79, is a good deal.
186. Which model sells for $58?
(a) Shuffle Shred GP710 (b) Shuffle Shred DC3088
(c) Sander Cross-Cut RDL-611X (d) Privacy Solutions PL-4200.
187. What is said about the Shuffle Shred GS-
61?
(a) It is easy to empty.
(b) It has an extra-long cord.
(c) It has three different settings.
(d) It can cut up to eight sheets at a time.
188. What is claimed about cross-cut shredders? (a) They are considered more secure.
(b) They can cut more pages at one time.
(c) They do not jam as much as strip-cut shredders.
(d) They are available only for medium or heavy use.
189. Which of the following is NOT true about the Privacy Solutions PL-7800?
(a) It can shred CDs. (b) It retails for $79.
(c) It can handle up to 300 pages per day.
(d) It is Product Trial's favorite paper shredder.
190. What is learned about Shuffle?
(a) They have excellent customer service.
(b) They make very good medium use shredders. (c) Their products sell for more than others.
(d) They make more shredders than most companies.

---------------------------------------------- Hi Steve,
It was good to hear from you earlier today. It's been very busy around here too. We just finished our job candidate interviews yesterday. This means that today we will meet to figure out which candidates we would like to talk to further. It will probably be a long meeting.
I am glad you contacted me about when we can organize this year's executive management training sessions. It's hard to believe this will be the third year we've done it. I'm sending you my calendar for the month of April, so we can pick our dates. As you'll see, I'm pretty open at this point. Once we have the dates figured out, we should talk about whether we'd like to change any parts of the curriculum from last time. We should put together an initial list of people to invite.
I would also like to talk about turning our training materials into a book, but this is not urgent.
I hope you are well. Thanks for taking the initiative on organizing the third training session.
Art Goodman

Subject: December bill request
Date: January 11
To Whom It May Concern:
My account with Henderson Utilities Company is set up such that my monthly utility bills are directly deducted from my checking account. I noticed this month that $187.33 had been deducted from my account for utilities. Since becoming a customer of HUC, my monthly utility bill has never exceeded
$150. Since I never received a paper bill from you, I'd like to request a copy of the bill to ensure that I
was not overcharged for any services. Thank you. Sincerely,
Kenan Beauchamp.
