Memo
To: All salesmen
Subject: Seeking advice for New Year sales promotion activities
From: Lin Jing, Secretary
Date: November 5, 2006
Because more and more companies sell the same kind of products as ours, we should change our methods of sale to meet the competition. The report suggests that this year’s sales volume of our company declines a lot, and we hope the coming New Year will be a great chance for us to change the current situation. Therefore, we are going to carry out a series of sales promotion activities for the New Year.
If you have any proposals or suggestions, please send them to me by November 28th.
Thank you very much.

Wallet Lost
On the evening of April 4th, 2008, I left behind my wallet in the English reading-room on the
third floor of the new library in our university.
The wallet can be generally described as follows: It is a dark blue in color and there is a student’s ID, library card, money and a photo of my family. I’m very das and upset. Without student’s ID, I cannot take part in the final examination and without library card, I can’t get materials my teacher requires from the library.
Please contact me as soon as possible if you found it or you know some one else who got it.
My phone:138********
