Task 1. Sample Study Sample （1） Ladies and gentlemen,（称呼） May I have your attention, please. I'd like to take a moment to offer my sincere thanks to William Jefferson Clinton and James Robert Smith of A Suppliers. As you know, A and B have inked an agreement to distribute five major B brands in Canada. This joint venture is cause to celebrate because it marks B's entry into the Canadian appliance market. We couldn't have asked for a better business partner. With B's groundbreaking appliances and A's well-established distribution network, we can both stay one step ahead of the competition. I think I speak for all my fellow employees when I say that we at B are delighted to be working with an industry leader like A. I anticipate nothing but growth for our companies over the next few years. Cheers!
