Congratulations, Tom, on your election to the presidency of the United Way of Alberta County. I was happy to see the announcement in this morning’s newspaper and to learn of your plans for the upcoming campaign.
Best wishes for a successful fund drive. This important community effort surely deserves everyone’s full support.
Thank-You Message
Thank you so much, Alice, for serving on the panel of suppliers for our new employee orientation program. Your comments on scheduling problems and your suggestions for alleviating them were especially helpful. They were the kind of information that only an experienced pro like you could give.
I think you could tell from the comments and many questions that your remarks were well received by our new employees. Thanks again for your professional contributions.

Dear Ralph,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Jane’s sudden death. It was certainly a great shock to her many friends and colleagues.
Jane had a well-earned reputation here for her top-notch negotiating skills and for her endearing sense of humor. She was an accomplished manager and a good friend, and I shall miss her greatly.
If I can help smooth the way in your dealings with our personnel office, I would be honored to help. Please call me on my private line (555-1036) if there is anything I can do.
Affectionately,
Bob

The Honorable Joan Bradley
Mayor of Hudson
Hudson, OH 44236
Dear Mayor Bradley:
Thank you for your kind comments about our lovely grounds. Our staff has been able to create an environment here in which plants and animals not normally found in the Midwest are able to thrive.
For example, after much effort, we have finally been able to attract a family of eastern Blue birds to our site. At this very moment, the female is sitting on three eggs, and various members of our staff unobtrusively check on her progress each day.
Similar efforts have resulted in the successful introduction of beautiful but sensitive flowers, shrubs, and marsh grasses. To protect this delicate environment, we restrict the use of these grounds to company employees, many of whom have contributed ideas, plants, and time in developing the grounds. We are afraid that a great number of people attending a reelection campaign fund-raiser will possible make harm to these grounds.
As an alternative, may I suggest the beautiful grounds at the Ohio Educational Consortium on Lapeer Street. They were designed with an Ohio motif by Larry Miller, the designer for our grounds. Various public events have been held there without damage to the environment. Susan Siebold, their executive director, can be reached at 555-9832 if you wish to contact her about using their facilities.
Sincerely.
J.W. Hudson
President

THE HOME DEPOT

Dear Homeowner:
Do you view your home as an investment or as your castle? Is it primarily a tax write-off or a place of refuge – where you can find comfort and respite from workday stress?
Most of us view our homes as places where we can feel safe from outside intrusion. Thus, we feel threatened by government statistics showing that 5,3 % of all U.S. households were burglarized last year. How can we protect ourselves?
Today, there’s a simple and dependable alarm that protects as much as 2,500 square feet of your home. Just plug in the Safescan Home Alarm system, adjust the sensitivity to the size of your room, and turn the key. You then have 30 seconds to leave and 15 seconds to switch off the alarm once you return.
Worried that your dog might trigger the alarm? Safescan’s microprocessor screens out normal sounds like crying babies, outside traffic, and rain. But hostile noises like breaking glass and splintering wood trigger the alarm. The 105-decibel siren is loud enough to alert neighbors and to drive away even the most determined burglar.
What if a smart burglar disconnects the electricity to your home or pulls the plug? Built-in batteries assure that Safescan operates through power failures lasting as long as 24 hours, and the batteries recharge automatically. Best of all, installation is easy. Simply mount the 4-pound unit on a wall (we supply the four screws), and plug it in. Nothing could be faster.
Finally, there is a $259 home alarm that you can trust; and the one-year warranty and ten-day return policy ensure your complete satisfaction.
Last year, 3.2 million burglaries occurred in the United States, but you can now tip the odds back in your favor. To order the Safescan Home Alarm System, stop by your nearest Home Depot. Within minutes, Safescan can be guarding your home, giving you peace of mind.
Sincerely yours,
Jeffrey Parret
National Sales Manager
