Re: Printer
Dear Mr. Reed,
I am returning my printer to your company"s customer service department because it is not functioning again. I had sent the printer there to get it serviced a month ago and received it a few days later. I changed the printer drum at that time and it was fine for a week after repairs. But again the paper is jammed too often and I can see some lines on the printed page.
The receipt states that it gives a six-month free service guarantee. So I assume that your company will service it without additional charge. If this is not the case, please call me at 365-8975.
Otherwise, I expect that you will return the printer by June 15th. I am including the receipt from the customer service department. I truly appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Lauren Butler

MEMO

To: All employees
From: Nicholas West
Re: Production
I recently sent you our annual report. I believe you have already reviewed it carefully. The report shows that our company has met or exceeded its target production rate of 95,000 units per month in five of the last six months with production ranging from 81,000 units in September to 105,000 units in June.
The significant drop in production in September was caused by problems of our electric generator in the assembly line, which was temporarily out of order. This issue has been addressed by purchasing a new state-of-the-art generator. I asked the maintenance team to ensure this problem should not recur in the future. The rest of our employees should take measures to reduce electricity usage during the summer months.
Now that the facility has demonstrated that it can achieve production levels, the target monthly rate 95,000 units we increased to 120,000. In the final quarter of this year, we will hire and train a third shift of workers so that it is prepared to have the 40% production increase expected next year.
