Dear customers,
It has been our policy in the past to supply ice to our customers when their ice machine has broken down. Because we have many customers who are paying later and later, we are forced to set (150) stronger company policies. Our new policy will go into (151) from August 3, 2009, and is as follows:
1. If the customer is more than 15 days late in their monthly payment and the machine is not working, we will not supply ice.
2. There will be a surcharge on accounts falling more than 30 days behind.
Our company policy is, and always has been, to provide the best service (152) to our customers.
We can only continue to do this with our customer's cooperation. If there are any questions regarding our new policy, please give me a call.

Please compare E-mail A with E-mail B, and comment on both of them. Then, revise your favorite one for effectiveness. Rewrite or add any information if necessary. E-mail A Dear Ms Wang I have been asked by Mr John Fillmore to write to you to ask you if you could supply us with some of the special white cotton materials you supplied us with last year. I can’t remember what he said it was called, but no doubt you will remember anyway. I think we will want about 5,000 metres if the price is right. If we needed more, would we be able to have it? Can you let us know as soon as you possibly can whether or not we can have it. If we can’t Mr Fillmore will go elsewhere. Hope you are keeping well. Yours faithfully E-mail B Dear Ms Wang We would like to purchase a further quantity of the white fur you supplied us with last year, subject to a satisfactory price being agreed. The Order Number for this was 32323 and the material was called“ Pure White”. We require approximately 5,000 metres of the cotton, although we need to know whether we would be able to obtain more if necessary. The price last year was $3.00 a metre. Would you be able to offer us the same terms? Perhaps you would be kind enough to let us know if you can supply us with this cotton material, how much is available, the price per metre, and when delivery would take place. Yours sincerely Sara Hope
Woman: There should be some in the cabinet over the sink. That's where we usually keep them.
Man: I already looked there. You must be all out of cups. I guess I'll have to go down to the coffee shop and get a cup of tea there.
Woman: Oh, you wanted hot drink cups, not water cups. I have some right here in the supply closet. There's sugar in here, too, if you want it, and there's milk in the refrigerator.
Man: OK, great. Thanks. Now, is there something I can use to heat the water up in?
What is the man looking for?
A.Papers.
B.Cups.
C.Ink bottles.
D.Pen caps.

M: Well, uhm, it'd be great to get away, but I've never done that before.
F: None of the others have, either, except for me. I went once last fall, but there'll be an instructor the fast day.
M: I don't know.
F: Oh, come on. This is our last chance to take a break before the exam. The scenery is beautiful, and if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river's really calm this time of the year, with lots of fish.
M: Sounds good. What would I have to bring?
F: Let's see. Tom's bringing food for the Friday night cookout for everyone. And the people who run the trip have tents set up and they supply food and drinks for all day Saturday. On the way back Sunday morning we'll stop somewhere for breakfast. So, you have to bring a bathing suit and a sleeping bag.
M: I do love camping and sleeping out. Where is this place?
F: It's about an hour and a half to the place where we meet the trip leaders. We leave our car there and they drive us upriver to the place where we stay.
M: And who's driving us to the meeting place?
F: Well, I was hoping we could take Tom's car. Mine's in the shop again. But unfortunately he had a small accident yesterday. He's fine, but his car...
M: Oh, I see. You can take my car.
F: Great. I'll give you a call when I find out when everyone wants to leave on Friday.

Computer software
As more and more companies are using the Internet to do business, Mark Williams explains how a new software package is helping the efficient transfer of medicines from factory to patient.
AHL Pharmaceuticals is one of Britain's largest wholesale distributors of medicines. Under a European parent company, Setra AG, it covers 40 per cent of the British market. The company buys medicines from the manufacturers and delivers them on a twice-daily basis to hundreds of hospitals and pharmacies around the country.
The responsibility for supplying such large quantities of medicines is frightening,' says IT director, Stephen Smith. 'If a manufacturer has quality control problems, creating a shortfall in supply, or if medicines are suddenly needed in large quantities somewhere else in the world our stock levels can fall dramatically. In the past such a lack of balance between supply and demand was a huge problem. With our new software system, we know immediately of any possible manufacturing or supply difficulties, can warn our customers and suggest possible alternatives.'
This system is so efficient because manufacturers can update details themselves of stock levels and product information. Twice a day staff at AHL transfer this data to their main computer system where it is made available through the AHL website to company personnel and customers.
With so many people having access to the data, isn't the security of the system at risk? 'Not at all,' says Smith. 'We run the software within our own internal security system. The data goes into a special "sandbox" which is separate from the rest of the system. Even if someone manages to get into the software, they can't go anywhere else on the network.'
And does he think that this is the limit of the software's use? 'The first time I saw this I had the feeling that life would be different from now on. Instead of having lots of pieces of paper flying around, an expansion of the software system into the purchasing department means that orders can now be dealt with in a moment. The only delay to further expansion is deciding what area of the company to apply it to next.'
