As you know, the recent recession has forced us to cut costs in manyareas. One area where people have not been fully cooperating is inregard to office supplies. For this reason the following guidelines arebeing put in place:

1. Dave Smith has been designated as in charge of all supplies. Allsupplies must be checked through him with your signature and hisbefore they are removed from the storeroom.

2. There are monthly limits to how much of each item can be borrowedeach month. Anything exceeding these amounts must be approved byyour manager and Dave Smith, and the justification must be given inwriting.

Along with these guidelines, here are some additional suggestions withregard to conservation of these materials:

1. Hang on to your pens! We go through far too many pens in this office,this can only be because people are carelessly losing them.

2. People should always print on both sides of office paper beforerecycling, unless this is for official business correspondence.

3. Folders and binders can be used again once old projects arecompleted. The cost of these items adds up!

I appreciate your cooperation, and I hope these measures will lead to an

improvement in this area soon.

I wanted to thank you for your passionate commitment to web designand superior service. I develop customer relationship managementstrategies on a daily basis for my clients and I am NEVER easilyimpressed with customer service in any industry. In fact, my motto hadbeen that customer service is mediocre at best. I am glad to say that

DBX Studio proved me wrong and my web site is clear proof of that!

When I first talked to Douglas, one of your associates, on the phone, Iknew he was the right web designer for me even though we had nevermet or spoken before. I was impressed most with Douglas' commitmentto my work and his willingness to educate me about the web designprocess.

Throughout my experience with DBX Studio I was always very satisfiedwith prompt and reliable service. Douglas told me that I could reach himat almost anytime. Now this is unheard of, and it is a great example of

the kind of personal customer service today's businesses should strivefor. I remember times when Douglas told me he would be until 1 am orso on my web site to meet our deadlines. And sure enough, I wouldreceive e-mails the next morning that were received anywhere from 1 to3 am.

Thank you so much for all of your help ---- the web site looks terrific! Ilook forward referring many of my clients to you.

Sincerely,

Scott Hatheaway

President of Speedenix

Subject: Meeting to discuss shortage of automobile parts

I am calling a meeting at 3 p.m. tomorrow to discuss the shortage of automobile parts for the upcoming holiday season. Some of you havealready mentioned that various components are hard to obtain from theusual sources. We have looked into the matter, and it turns out the mainreason we are experiencing difficulty with our usual sources is because

8/2/2019 dap an de so 3


our competitor, Fenway Automobiles, has recently offered them a muchmore lucrative contract. It is important that we obtain the needed itemssoon, through finding new suppliers. Unless we do so, we may not beable to meet our holiday deadline. As you all know, the demand for newautomobiles goes up at the end of the year, and we want to make sure

we meet the demand for cars on time.

It is no secret that Fenway Automobiles has been giving us a good runfor our money. I believe that this holiday season is our chance to riseabove the competition and find a firm, unshakable foothold in theindustry.

Therefore, it is crucial that everyone attend this meeting. Also, I wouldappreciate it if you came with any ideas concerning useful strategiesagainst Fenway Automobiles. If you have any additional questions orsuggestions, be sure to contact me or my secretary .

Bad News for Our Economy

-Experts Forecast a Rapid Recession during Second Half of the Year

April 6th, 2006

Many forecasting experts have announced that they have determined arecession in progress, with its cycle peak estimated to be in October2006. The recession could be set

in motion by a decline in consumer purchasing, since consumers arebecoming more sensible about what they buy. A more likely cause wouldbe failure of economic growth.

However, these are causes speculated by the public. Andrew Bushee, anexpert at Anderson Center at the University of California, outlines three

main reasons for the recession visible on the horizon. He lists the recentpower crisis, inflation concerns, and

significant global trade imbalances. At a press conference last week, heannounced that a

tight financial budget for the next year will be required to overcome th~recession. Top on the list of government priorities, according to thisbudget plan, should be allocating more time and effort to sectors of theeconomy which will be most effective in stimulating economic growthand development. According to the econometric model used by certainforecasters, the probability of a looming recession is as high as 90%. Sofar, a dwindling GDP, hiking unemployment, reduced investment, and job cuts have been predicted.
