Re: Social Media Director position
Mason,
We were all concerned to hear that you weren’t able to attend yesterday’s meeting due to
illness. I hope it’s just a stomach bug and not something more serious.
The minutes will be distributed later today, but I wanted to give you a heads-up regarding
the Social Media Director position. As you know, James wanted the base salary reduced
by 10%. He was overruled and the compensation package was finally approved. I posted
the position immediately after the meeting, as we all agree this appointment is a high
prority. By the end of the day, I had received a dozen applications, several of which are
very solid.
One outstanding candidate is Sonja Curtiss, Associate Director of Social Media at Nova
News Corporation. She appears to have the qualification and experience we’re looking for.
I set up an interview for 8 a.m. on Friday. I hope you’ll back in the office by then. If not, I
can bring her back next week for a second interview if she seems like a good fit. She’ll be
on vacation the following week, so I want the two of you to meet before then. I’ll let you
know if anyone else of her caliber applies.
I hope you feel better.

Dear Simone,
My husband and I received your invoice of $8690 for catering our wedding reception on
June 4. We are very upset that the invoice exceeds the estimated cost that you provided
on February 15 ( see attached). You specifically agreed to work within our budget of
$8,000. We are disputing the following items in the invoice.
When we met with you on February 7, you said you would waive the cost of renting the
additional tables and chair that we required. Therefore, we were surprised to see the
rental cost included in the invoice. Also, you had originally agreed to provide a 50%
discount on two rooms to accommodate our partents on the night of the reception.
Instead, we have been charged the full price for two rooms. We are also shocked to see a
room service charge of $8 for a bottle of water that my mother-in-law requested.
Finally, the food served at our reception was NOT as good as the delicious food we tasted
in February. The vegetarian dish in particular was very disappionting. You did explain to
me that the vegetables would change bassed on seasonal availability. However, I
expected the summer dish to be as good as, if not better than, the winter dish. Also, the
wait staff fee is $200 higher than quoted.
In light of the above issues, we look forward to receiving a revised invoice.
Yours sincerely,
Diane Mancini

Thank you for your email regarding our request to book the Yarra Wildlife Sanctuary Tour
on December 4. Unfortunately, the sanctuary is closed unitil February as it is undergoing
renovations. May I suggest the alternative tour to Philip Island, which I’m sure you and
your colleagues will enjoy just as much. As well as viewing the world-famous Penguin
Parade the tour includes a visit to a conservation park where you will be able to see many
Australian native animals, such as koalas, kangaroos, possums, emus, and wombats.
As you can see from the attached brochure, the Philip Island Tour is slightly more
expensive than the Yarra Wildlife Sanctuary Tour because of the superior accomodation.
However, sine TTV Corporation is a valued client, we are prepared to offer you and your
three colleagues a 10% discout on the overall cost of the Phillip Island Tour. Therefore, the
total amount would be $432 per person. This includes private transportation, breakfast
and dinner, one night’s accommodation, all entrace fees, and a Japanese-speaking guide.
Please let me know if you are interested in the Phillip Island tour. Tou will need to act
promptly if you wish to secure a reservation within the next two weeks as the busy season
is just beginning.
