From: Vinnie Els, Kennington County Office 
To: Clark Dodd, Madger Construction 
Subject: Coordinating Projects
Mr. Dodd,
Congratulations to Madger Construction on winning the contract to build the new city bus terminal! As I'm sure you are aware, at the county office we have the responsibility of monitoring the construction work to ensure its overall quality. We also need to make sure that your building program is in line with other projects going on around the area. It is important that the various construction firms operating in the area work together so that we can minimize disruption of local utilities and traffic. We also take an interest in making sure the construction work does not harm the natural environment.
Therefore, I'd like to get together with you sometime soon in order to discuss how we can best
coordinate operations. I'm sure you'll agree this is in everyone's best interests.
Please get in touch with me to let me know when you are available to come to our office for a meeting.
Vinnie Els 
Contractor Manager 
Kennington County Office

To: Vinnie El, Kennington County Office
RE: Subject: Coordinating Projects
Dear Mr. Els,
Thank you very much for your email. We realize there will need to be a lot of cooperation with county officials and contractors working on other projects. As a firm, we have already worked on a number of local government contracts, so we are familiar with these requirements. We established a good working relationship with officials in the past, so I'm sure it will all go smoothly.
I'm available to meet anytime this week, but I'd like to make it as early as possible. We're due to start working on the bus terminal by the end of the month, and we need to start the process of hiring laborers and preparing the materials. Basically, the sooner we can get organized, the better. Please call my secretary to arrange a time.
Also, I would appreciate it if you could send me as many details as possible about the other projects going on around the area. I'd like to be fully prepared for the meeting so that we can make really good progress.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
