representatives of your company to select textiles and to arrange for ordering and delivery | am hoping that you will have the material ready for export within the next few months We will need sufficient quantities by early May in order to start our production process on time If this seems feasible, please contact me so that we can set up a meeting for next month
We were impressed by the quality of material you exhibited at the fair and are excited about the prospect of incorporating it into our clothing designs We look forward to establishing a relationship with your company

Questions 11-13 refer to the following memorandum BINELL INTEROFFICE MEMO : Tenants of Elwood Office Building FROM: J Wilcox suBJECT: Parking Spaces DATE: January 3, 20
It has come to our attention that unauthorized persons are parking their cars in spaces reserved for Binell senior corporate officers, visitors to Binell, and building medical personnel, We can only assume that these violators are not employees of the Binell company but are people with business in the other surrounding offices
This has been an ongoing problem that doesn’t seem to want to go away, despite
the larger, more visible signs placed in the parking garage and the notices posted
in the building elevators and hallways Therefore, we are now forced to resort to more extreme measures As of next Monday, January 8, we will have all illegally
parked cars towed at the owner's risk and expense Please be advised that there
will be no leniency in regard to this matter
We encourage you to make our intentions known to your staff and clients
Please remind them that there are ample unreserved parking spaces available on the top floor of the garage, as well as metered street parking and several paid public garages nearby
We also encourage you to look into the possibility of reserving more spaces
for the staff and clients of your particular business The building manager has
assured us that a number of spaces are available, and they are certainly worth
the fee charged by the building management
