James, I still haven’t seen the regal contract for the Karen’s account.
Did the deliveryservice happen to drop it off with you?
No, I’m afraid not.
I have a tracking number for the package, but nothing showed upwhen I checked the online system this morning.
We’re scheduled to finalize the contract at our meeting tomorrow.
So I’d better call the delivery company right now.
I certainly would.
It’s goingto be a problem if the vice president can’t sign the contract at the meeting.

Miss Peters, It’s greatto finally see the new office you’ve told me so much about.
I’ve had a few ideas for the design from the pictures you sent me.
But I wanted to see whatthe space look like in person.
We chose this building because it had a lot more space than ourold office.
But as you can see, we couldreally use your help updating the interior.
We want to figure out how to take advantage of all the extra room.
I’m going to take some measurements today, so I can think about the most efficient layout.
Before you meet again, I’ll draw up some potential design togive you an idea of what it might look like.

Our apartment rental service is really starting to grow.
Last month we placedmore new tenantsthan ever before.
I’ve been tryingto think of waysto keep this trend going.
Any ideas?
Well, so far the advertising we’vedone in newspapers has been really effective.
Maybe we could go a step further and make a vide adto put on the Web.
It could feature testimonials from clients who’vefound housing through our service.
That’s a great suggestion.
Why don’t you bring this Web video idea to the whole team at next week’sstuff meeting?
You could go over the costsand timeline for filming the videos.
