From: Management Board
Date: October 15
Re: Important announcement for all staff

As we all know, Bensons is well-known for producing the highest quality ice cream in the business.
However, trading conditions this year, even for us, have deteriorated significantly. Like so many
of our competitors, we are struggling with increasing production and manufacturing costs due
to price increases affecting some of our key raw ingredients on international markets.

For over three months we have searched for a number of ways of tackling this problem.
A suggestion was made to continue our recent policy of raising the price of our products, but
the Senior Management Board, after discussion with the sales teams, feels that such increases
will no longer appeal to the markets.

We have therefore come to a conclusion : We intend to improve profitability by developing our

advertising spending and restructuring the Research and Development Department to focus on
specific areas of market need and, consequently, produce products with greater sales potential.
A detailed plan will be formed to begin actioning this over the coming weeks.

Subject: Crafts Depot catalog

Date: November 21

Dear Ms. Newman,

Many thanks for your interest in Crafts Depot, and for your inquiry about having your
products promoted in our catalog.
The Crafts Depot catalog has the largest circulation of any crafts-based catalog, reaching
over 3 million homes across the country. It includes handmade accessories, art, ceramics
and pottery, jewelry, paper goods, and toys, among many other categories. All items in
our catalog must be handmade and be supplied to us directly by manufacturers. We do not
deal with third-party suppliers. The minimum product price is $0.99, and the maximum
is $200. Manufacturers receive 70% of sales revenue for their products, while we keep
the remaining 30% to cover our sales and advertising costs.
Next year the Crafts Depot catalog will enter into the digital age with the launch of an
online store. We expect the introduction of an online presence to have a drastic effect
on sales, and we are delighted to offer the usual 70%/30% revenue share policy.
To become one of the thousands of happy manufacturers with whom we work, please
fill in the application form informing us about you and your products. We will also
need to see representative samples of the items. We are afraid that we do not accept

for inclusion in our product offering. Please see the attached form for more details.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Order number 81431717B

Dear Sir/Madam:

I recently ordered a laptop from you, which I received yesterday (September 11). Although your
"back to school" advertisement says that all delivery is free during the promotional period, I paid
$10 for the delivery. Since I placed an order on the second day of the promotion, I assume that this
charge has been applied to my order by mistake.

Also, I did not receive the two-year warranty certificate. I have searched through the box and user's
manual, but I can't find it anywhere. I would greatly appreciate if you could send me the certificate
as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance for your assistance in these matters.

any tips you could give me. Although I've worked in Portugal before, I'm not familiar with
French business protocols. As you may have guessed, this is my first trip since I was
promoted to Area Sales Manager for Europe so I really want the trip to go well.
Hope everything's going well with you.

Best wishes,
Robert

Hi Robert,

Many thanks for your e-mail. I'm currently stranded in Oslo due to heavy snow. All the
flights out of here are delayed. So, plenty of time to catch up on e- mails!

Of course, I'm happy to offer a few tips on doing business in France. Firstly, you should
keep in mind the importance of business su its in France. If you want to be taken seriously,
you should dress professionally at all times, especially when dealing with French clients.
Marseille is slightly more relaxed. You can usually go without a jacket there. Another main
feature of working in France is the significance of drinks, which can last up to four hours.
Business meetings are often held at restaurants over wine, and I'd say that these
occasions are extremely important in forming a good working relationship. Probably the
key difference between our company and French companies relates to briefings. French
companies don't have a briefings culture, so they don 't happen often. When they do take
place, it's usually senior staff members who give orders and instructions. Open
discussions are rare. They hardly have an agenda for a meeting, and when there is an
agenda it isn't necessarily followed.

Well, I think that's all for now, but I'm happy to discuss further with you in person when
I get back to the office. I hope the trip goes well, and I'll hopefully see you at the policy
group meeting next week.

Best wishes,
Julie
