单选题To: Neil Grossman From: Audrey Stanford Date: August 8 Subject: Order of Tiles Dear Mr. Grossman, This is concerning your recent order of floor tiles from our Web site. I am pleased to inform you that 600 pieces of Iklimler Ceramics(floral beige)and 400 pieces of Oakland Terrazzo(reddish brown)will be delivered to your office tomorrow at 8 a.m. Brian, my personal assistant, will supervise the delivery to make sure that the items are not mishandled. Please let him know if you encounter any problems. With regard to your inquiry about customized tiles, I believe we have enough time to accommodate your order, but it would depend on the design and quantity. Could you give us a rough idea of what you're looking for by sending a draft of your design? Also, please specify the number of pieces you need so we can provide you with a price estimate. Then we will let you know when the order can be completed. Orders of 300 or more customized tiles usually take at least two weeks to manufacture. But in case you need the tiles sooner, we offer rush services for an additional fee of $150. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. You can call me at 555-9696. My extension number is 104. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Audrey Stanford Manager McKinley Tiles Incorporated To: Audrey Stanford From: Neil Grossman Date: August 9 Subject: Re: Order of Tiles Attachment: Tile Design Dear Ms. Stanford, I'd like to thank you for the timely delivery of the two orders of tiles. They arrived this morning in good condition. I really appreciate that you had Brian supervise the delivery. He was very kind and helpful. I'm also grateful for your prompt response about the customized tiles. As I told you, they will not be for our clients but for our office. We're planning to renovate our customer service area, and we thought it would be a good idea to use tiles that better reflect our brand identity. I attached a copy of the design to this e-mail. The tentative schedule for the renovation project is in the third week of September. Do you think you can make 500 pieces by then? By the way, as I mentioned in my previous e-mail, the company is organizing an event for the launch of our newly designed Web site, which will allow our customers to make online purchases. Since you are a trusted supplier, you might be interested in attending this activity. I will ask my secretary to send you a formal invitation once it's finalized. Sincerely, Neil Grossman Supervisor Brooks Construction Supplies

单选题Arthur to Boost Asia Presence Arthur Holdings has just revealed that it will be building three new shopping malls in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia this year. The largest shopping mall developer in Southeast Asia plans to reserve $4 billion in capital for the project. During a press conference for the company"s upcoming stock offering, Arthur Holdings president Francis Brewster said the new malls are part of the firm"s two-year development plans. Last year, the firm opened mails in Myanmar and China despite the gloomy economy. Each of the three shopping mails will have an approximate area of 20,000 square meters. The malls to be established in Thailand and Vietnam will have convention halls and activity centers equipped with conference rooms, gymnasiums, bowling alleys, and movie theaters. According to Brewster, funding will be derived from recently sold bonds amounting to $3 billion, foreign loans, and proceeds of the upcoming stock offering. The president believes that Arthur"s notable achievements in the past year will help the company collect more capital when it auctions off new shares on Monday. According to financial figures released by Arthur Holdings last year, revenues from its Singapore operations grew 15 percent, to $250 million. Moreover, profits went up 20 percent, to $175 million. "Arthur Holdings has proven itself to be a strong company in Asia. Because of this, we are expecting more people to invest in our rapidly growing business," Brewster said.
