I would be most grateful if you would reply as soon as possible so that this matter can be resolved to everyone' s satisfaction.

Questions
I am writing concerning claim #760. The amount that your adjusters have set for the damage caused by Hurricane Harry to
my barn is unacceptably low.The amount that your company has offered would not even allow doing the work myself, as the
materials alone would cost almost $300 more than your estimate.
I am including the estimate from our independent contractors that I have asked to inspect the damage to my barn, and
their estimates vary between $1,500 and $1,750.
I would like your company to take into consideration the estimates I have provided and reevaluate your settlement offer. If
you continue to deny the fact that your offer is unacceptably low, I will need to seek legal counsel.
I will appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Mathew Liverpool

Dear Sir,
We are sorry to have to inform you that your last delivery was not up to your usual standard. The material seems too loosely woven and is
inclined to pull out of shape. By separate mail, we have sent you a cutting from this material, also one from cloth of an early consignment,
so that you can compare two and see the difference in texture.
We have always been able to rely on the high quality of the materials you sent us and we are all the more disappointed in this case because
we supplied the cloth to new customers. As we shall have to take them back, we must ask you to let us know, without delay, what you can
do to help us in getting over this difficulty.
We are looking forward to hearing from your soon.
Yours faithfully,

Marie Curie was born as Maria Sklodowska in Poland in 1867. Though Maria excelled in school, no university in Poland at that time
allowed female students.
In 1891, Maria traveled to Paris, France. She called herself Marie, the French form of Maria. She attended the Sorbonne, a famous college in
Paris. Marie studied physics and mathematics and graduated at the top of her class. She also met a French chemist named Pierre Curie. They
married in 1895.
Marie and Pierre were pioneers in studying radioactivity. Radioactivity is a process in which certain elements, such as uranium, break down
into other elements. In the process, they give off energy in the form of radiation. Marie and Pierre built on the work of Wilhelm Roentgen,
who discovered X rays, and Antoine Henri Becquerel, who discovered radioactivity in the element uranium. X rays are a type of radiation.
The Curies discovered that a mineral called pitchblende was radioactive. Pitchblende contains uranium. But pitchblende gives off more
radiation than uranium alone could. The Curies guessed that there must be other radioactive elements in the pitchblende.
The Curies separated huge amounts of pitchblende into its chemical parts—the elements it is made of. In July 1898, they reported the
discovery of a new element called polonium. In December, they announced the discovery of another new element, radium.
In 1906, a horse-drawn carriage hit and killed Pierre. Marie stepped into his teaching post at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to teach
at the university. She poured her energy into research and raising her daughters. One daughter, Irene, followed her parents into scientific
research. In 1914, the Sorbonne built a new laboratory to research radioactive materials. Today the laboratory is named after Marie Curie.
Marie Curie earned little money from her famous research. Her Nobel Prize money paid for more research. She did not patent—reserve for
her own gain—her discoveries. She left them free for other scientists to use.
58. In July 1898, they reported the discovery of a new element called polonium. (par. 5). They here refer to ….

western group . After that we monitored the plenary almost all day .Sometimes . we were required to attend ‘informal’ and

commission . It would be remiss of me not to mention the numerous functions and receptions we were invited to . one the most
