Dear Ms. Wendel: January 2nd, 20__
I understand that you are in charge of the fundraising events for the Heart and Stroke Research Fund ofCentralCanadA、My colleague, Jessica, suggested that I contact you about getting some brochures for our office. We need information on the half marathon that is taking place in Toronto on the weekend of July lst-3rD、
When I looked at the Heart and Stroke website, I noticed that your name was among the female runners who finished in the top ten last year. Jessica was surprised to hear that in addition to managing the fundraiser, you also participated in the race. You must be in excellent shape!Are you running this year
I would appreciate your sending some brochures for the center. I’d like to know more about the race myself. I’ve been thinking about entering, but I’m not sure if I am ready to run a half marathon. I think I should start with a ten-kilometer run.Currently I run about 20 kilometers each week.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best Wishes,

Hi Kandy,
Thank you for your letter. It was fun participating In the race last year.At first when my co-workers decided to do the run I wasn’t interesteD、However, within a few weeks of their training I noticed how much more energy they haD、That’s when I decided to join them. It was a good experience, but unfortunately I will not be running In this year’s event. I pulled a muscle in my leg when I was golfing this summer. You should give this run a try, though. It took me about 6 months to train for the half marathon, it will probably take you half of that since you have some running experience already.
I sent some brochures to the HealthCenter today. Thank you for your support of our cause. Last year we raised $400,000 in Toronto, and this year our goal is to double that amount.
Thanks again,
Vanessa

WonTech International announced today that its long-time chief of financial operations, Roger Mata, will be stepping down on Friday. Taking his place will be Maria Santos, the company’s current director of accounting. Later this week she will travel from her office in Sydney to corporate headquarters in Vancouver for high-level discussions withCEO Kenneth Song. Santos, a native ofCebuCity, the second-largest city in the Philippines, has been with WonTech for just over ten years. Her colleagues report that her management style is friendly but firm, and she has earned an excellent reputation within the Sydney accounting office. She is also a generous supporter of the arts, and is known to patronize the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at least once a week. Santos will assume her new duties next Monday, and her replacement in Sydney, KevinBright, will be installed at the same time.

Subject: Just read the news
Maria, what a terribly pleasant surprise it was to find the WonTech press release in my inbox this morning. Why didn’t you tell me the news earlier ! Who would have thought fifteen years ago, when we were both struggling to get ahead atDatadym Industries, that you would one day beCFO of WonTech International I’m so proud of you.
And, I have another reason to be happy—it sounds as if you’ll be in Vancouver this week! I’m sure you remember that I moved here last year to take a job with the nonprofit investment firm ofDavis&Lee. I haven’t had many chances to explore the city, as they’re keeping me pretty busy at work, but I do know some great spots to grab lunch or perhaps take in some sights. Should you have any time to spare during your visit, there’s nothing I would enjoy more than getting the chance to catch up and congratulate you in person.
You must be so excited about this opportunity, and I know you’re up to the task. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mata several years ago at a conference, and he seemed very capable. I’m sure he’s left the office in good shape for you. I’ve also had positive dealings with your boss here in Vancouver. I only hope your replacement is able to fill your shoes in Sydney—I’m sure you’ll be missed there[ Looking forward to seeing you,
-Eve

1. The One-Call System
In most states, natural gas industry-supported laws require contractors and private landowners to call the local One-Call number before beginning any kind of digging. With forty-eight hours’ notice, a pipeline operator will locate the pipeline and mark it clearly.Any damage at all to a pipe-even the slightest scratch could lead to a leak later on. Whether One-Call has become the law in your state or not, you can help keep pipelines safe by calling the number on the right-of-way markers before you dig.
2. LeakDetection
Most pipelines are operated twenty-four hours a day from a control station, using telephone, satellite, or microwave communications systems.Computers are widely used to monitor conditions along the line every ten to sixty seconds, sounding an alarm if they detect any abnormality or sudden change in pressure. In the event of an alarm, valves can be closed and nearby pipeline crews dispatched within minutes.
3. Emergency Response Preparedness
Although leaks occur infrequently and rarely result in a fire, readiness for any emergency is a crucial responsibility for pipeline companies. Federal and state laws supported by the natural gas industry require pipeline companies and local police and fire departments to maintain a coordinated plan of response and to practice for an emergency by staging drills. These drills and personnel training programs emphasize the need for immediate action and for cooperation between the various rescue agencies and the pipeline company.
4. PublicAwareness
The One-Call system, state-of-the-art leak detection equipment, and emergency response procedures have all been put in place with one thing in mind-the safety of you, the publiC、Please visit the website of the Natural GasAssociation to find out more about our safety procedures, tips for using natural gas safely in your home, and information on what to do if you see someone tampering with pipeline right-of-way markers.

Subject:A、problem
Dear Ms. Pim,
I’m emailing to inform you that the service elevator is currently out of order. It stopped working at 9 am this morning while moving firm employees were transporting some new desks and chairs to the 14th floor.
At present, the workers are using one of the main elevators in the building.But this temporary solution is not ideal for two reasons. Firstly, it is not a good image to present to clients visiting the building. It looks very disorganized and unprofessional. Secondly, it may cause some damage to the main elevator. Not only might the movers scrape and scratch the interior, but there are some painters coming at 2 pm today to work on the renovations on the second floor, and they may drop paint and other chemicals inside.
Accordingly, I think it is essential that we get the service elevator working again as soon as possible. I have called the elevator maintenance firm, and the representative there told me it might take until this evening for some workmen to come over and fix the problem.As chief executive of the company, I was hoping you might be able to call back and put more pressure on the company to act sooner. The company isElevation InC、, and the phone number of their customer relations manager is 807-908-908.
If you need more information about the situation, please let me know.
Regards,
Lionel
