I'm writing to ask you a few questions about the letters of recommendation that I need to
submit with my resume. It has been only a year since I started working here at MCZ
International and unfortunately one of my two bosses, Mr. Donovan, has been working in
the branch office in Osaka for the upcoming international project with Yamamoto Industry.
I haven't had a chance to work with him and he obviously doesn't know much about my
performance and abilities. My other boss, Mr. Dellington, has agreed to write a letter of
recommendation.
Do I still have to submit one more letter to apply for the promotion? Or should I still ask Mr.
Donovan to write a letter of recommendation for me? Please let me know as soon as possible,

Question 6 – 9:
In an attempt to better analyze the reasons for success, Glaxo looked at various statistics and
results of their multidimensional rating system that is based on sales, market value, profits
and assets. They then regrouped these 1,000 companies by industry and analyzed what was
happening to each of them in terms of profits earned, long- and short-term return on equity,
the dividends paid, sales growth and the market price of the company's stock. They received
the assistance of one outside company in making growth forecasts and another company that
could audit accounting methods.
With the assistance of these firms, they crossed out corporations from their study that didn't
meet the standards of accounting, management, or legal issues. Of the 1,000 companies,
fewer than 100 passed in all categories. One global high performer was the Japanese
company Nippon Telegraph & Telephone. This company showed a 49% growth in profits
and a 46% total return in the past year. The debt-to-total capital is only 12% and the growth
forecast for the next three to five years is expected to be 40%.

Your colleague from the Florida School of Hospitality Administration, Stephanie Wayne,

help her plan and devise strategies for her company to successfully launch new products.
As you may already know, the consulting business is quite stressful and I believe it is time
for me to take a vacation. I heard from Stephanie that you operate a renowned international
travel agency. Accordingly, I would be very pleased if you could help me plan
an itinerary. I would like to travel with 10 acquaintances of mine. We are planning to
spend at least three weeks in Asia, specifically in China, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines.
Since one of my acquaintances speaks Chinese and Korean, we just need a Japanese
translator to accompany us on our stay in Japan.
If you are interesting in helping me out, please let me know at your earlier convenience.

The Health Factory will introduce a new line of vitamins, a company spokesman said
yesterday. The vitamins are intended for athletic men and women, who are looking for a
vitamin that will replace vital nutrients lost during strenuous exercise. Unlike regular
vitamins, the Health Factory Active Essentials 2020 have more iron, calcium, and
potassium. The new vitamins have been tested on performance by up to 20 percent. Of
course, health products like the Active Essentials vitamins are not cheap. One month’s
supply of the new vitamins costs about $200. To promote the new product, however, the
Health Factory is offering a special 30 percent discount to anyone who purchase the new
vitamins with their Health Factory card. For more information on the new product or to
apply for a Health Factory card, call the company’s customer service hotline at 1-800-326-
