B To all staff
Please note that, starting from next month, the way you
receive your salary will be slightly different.
Instead of ChemicTel paying salaries on 28th of eachmonth,
salaries will now be paid on 25th of each month.
Also, your salary will be paid directly into a bank of your
choice. This means that some part-time staff will no
longer be able to receive their payment by cheque.
All staff will receive a monthly payslip, sent to their home,
which will explain in detail all the payments and deductions
made (for example, net and gross salary, overtime
payments, sales commissions, pension deductions).
If you have any questions, please contact the HR
department on extension 152.
Yours

Re: Business Ethics Award
I am writing with regard to the above award. I would like to
recommend Mark-Out for the award. This is a small chain of
stationery shops based in and around Canley.
My reasons for nominating them are the following:
Firstly, the company has an excellent environmental record.
They promote the use of recycled paper, and only sell paper
from sustainable forests in Scandinavia.
Secondly, Mark-Out invests in its employees. It provides a
good salary, benefits and training – and has a policy of
promoting from within.
Finally, The company has a reputation locally for offering
flexible working arrangements to its staff who come from
all parts of society.
Yours faithfully
A Dear Mr Jennings
I am sending you a copy of the most recent programme for
the Quality Systems conference, to be held on 12th
November in Manchester. I would like to apologise for the
delay in sending this to you. Please do not hesitate to
contact Roy on 07874 111212 if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely
B Dear Mr Scott
Thank you for your order for 25 printer cartridges for Model
x315, which I received on 21 September. I apologise for the
delay in despatching the goods to you.
Unfortunately, due to a strike by factory staff throughou
the region, production of these items has been severely
affected. This has led to delays of up to five weeks in
despatching the goods. I can, however, confirm that the
printer cartridges have been despatched today and will be
with you by 11 a.m. tomorrow at the latest.
In acknowledgement of the poor service you have received
from us on this occasion, we would like to offer you a ten
percent discount on the next order you place with us.
Yours sincerely
