Our facility operates 24/7, Monday through Friday, with a flextime workforce of 1,500 employees. To complete my operational budget I will need the following information:
• Wholesale price sheets
• Quantity cost breaks
• Annual contract discounts
• Delivery and or any other service charges.
To submit my proposal to the finance committee at their October 20th meeting I will need to receive your information by the 10th.

In keeping with long-standing policy we would like to place this contract locally. I look forward to working with you and am hopeful that the Golden Bread Company can fulfill our needs.
Sincerely,
Ida Mae Knott

AHH! I’m going to kill you!
Ahh! And the creature crept up to the man.
Hmmm – phrase used when you are happy. Phrase used when you are bored. Word when there is nothing else to say.
Mmmmmm – another way of saying yeah, right or no in a nicer way. The more m’s added the more out of the question it is.
