Questions 50-54 refer to the following e-mail, Web page, and article.
To: Ben Greenidge
From: Nirmala Deokaran
Subject: Request
Date: 13 January
Dear Mr. Greenidge,
I kindly request that management consider entering company in the CASATO Virtual Business Tournament. The competition, organized by the Caribbean & South American Trade Organization (CASATO), requires participants to develop and implement business strategies that ensure the long-term stability and continuity of an imaginary company.
Participation in this event could be highly beneficial to our company. Though many tournament participants occupy non-decision-making positions in their organization, the contest demands that they apply a broad range of leadership practices. In the process, most become more appreciative of the day-to-day realities and complexities of managing an actual company. Moreover, they tend to apply the skills acquired or refined during the competition such as collaboration, analysis, and problem-solving — in actual work situations. Additionally, participation in the event may increase our company's profile, opening up new markets for our products. Roughly six months after last year’s tournament, about one-third of the 70 companies that had taken part in that event reported an increase in regional business activities.
Details about the tournament are available at www.casato.org/events/tournamem_information.
Sincerely.
Nirmala Deokaran

Boston, MA 02116
Dear Mr. Cutler,
I first came across Cutler’s Rare Books at the Antiquarian Book Fair in California last year. After noting the high quality and wide range of your products, I decide to purchase several books from your online store. As I am not interested in having damaged boob in my collection, I carefully read the descriptions of their condition before making mv purchase. I was assured that the books were undamaged and in their original condition. When I examined the books on their arrival, I discovered that the Norris volume had been sloppily glued and rebound within the last several years.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss this disappointing situation.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Baskin,
Let me assure that I carefully check all of our books myself before their descriptions are entered in our sales catalog. 1 distinctly remember examining the volume in question when it arrived and again before it was packaged for shipping to you. It is my professional opinion that the book was rebound by its original owner over 70 years ago. Therefore, the book is in its original condition by the standards of our industry.
I understand your disappointment and, to try to make it up to you, I am refunding your payment for the book by Joseph Van Liew, which you may keep with our compliments.
Thank you,
David Cutler

New Equipment a Boon for LTL?
7 January
By Desmond Xueling
Tucked into u busy industrial area in Singapore, the LTL manufacturing facility is small, gray, and unassuming. But the building's nondescript exterior masks an abundance of color and activity inside. Early on a sunny December morning, two enormous new textile-printing machines were already churning out the largest swaths of fabric ever processed by the factory.
“Each machine is well over three meters wide,” said LTL’s Felicity Tong, who accompanied us on a tour of the factory floor. “Our machine operators are still learning to use the machines effectively, as you can sec from this pile of rejected pieces,” Ms. Tong remarked. “The machines are efficient, hut mastering them is posing some challenges for our work crews.”
The machines come with the potential for big profits. Company CEO Ravinder Kapur commented that the demand for his company’s fabrics has grown in recent years. “These machines will allow us to print on vinyl and other materials that we had lacked the resources to work with,” he said. “We’re very pleased to be able to satisfy client demand.”
