To: Gregor Slavic
Subject: Design Competition
Hi Gregor,
I just received word about an upcoming design competition for the new convention center in Vancouver. If you haven't heard about it already, please visit www.vancouvercenter.co.cc for more details. The city government, which is commissioning the project, is looking for a bold and innovative design. I immediately thought of you when I read the specifications, as you're a talented young architect with a unique style and vision. I know you don't have much experience with this sort of contest, but I'm sure you can produce a winning design. This could be a major contract for our firm so, if you can succeed, it might also take your career to the next level.
The closing date for entries is Friday, the 19th of September. I know you are currently working on the project headed by Gary Hutchinson to redesign the Edmonton Shopping Mall, but I think you should still have plenty of time to put together a good design. If you want to meet with me to brainstorm ideas, just let me know.
Regards,
Lesley Wade

Subject: Re: Design Competition
Dear Ms. Wade,
Thank you for alerting me to this exciting opportunity. It sounds like the organization running the competition is looking for something new and fresh. That's an interesting challenge for an architect, and I would relish the opportunity to work on an entry.
Unfortunately, however, that may not be possible. The work on the Edmonton Shopping Mall project has been delayed by several weeks due to a hold-up in the building consent process. We are working as fast as we can, but it is very frustrating. To be honest, I think the only way I will be able to produce a competition-winning design is that another associate at the firm takes my place on the Edmonton Shopping Mall project. That way, I can concentrate all my efforts on the Vancouver convention center. Perhaps you should talk to the project supervisor to work out a solution.
I look forward to hearing back from you about this.
Kind regards,
Gregor Slavic
