Hi Guillermo,

It’s nice to hear from you. Sorry it’s been so long since our last email exchange. Things have been a bit crazy at the office. We were awarded a major contract last month that we had been bidding on for quite a while. It was exciting to land the big fish, but now it means that we’ve really had to buckle down and get to work to meet all the deadlines. We were the smallest company bidding for the job, but I think they liked that we are family-owned and -run. The first stage of the project is due in three weeks so we’ve been researching and doing an analysis of what was missing from previous marketing campaigns and what we can add to make this new campaign more successful. We’ve really been missing you around the office. We could use your expertise right about now. I’m sure you’re enjoying your new job as stay-at-home dad, but if you ever decide to come back to work, you always have a spot here.

Until next time, my friend!

Questions 158 through 160 refer to the following memo:

Dear Team,

The last few years have been hard. The housing market stagnated, and sales were at an all-time low. Finally, sales have begun to pick up and houses are once again moving on and off the market Our customers are getting prices that are much closer to what they deserve for their homes, and we are able to grow our list of satisfied clients. It is definitely still a buyer’s market and will stay that way until prices come back up to where they should be. That being said, people are finally feeling more financially stable and in a better position to buy a new home. The banks are starting to give loans once more, and the dream of owning a home is becoming a reality for many people. This company has seen some great success over the past year, and this could not have been done without you, the talented realtors who work days, nights, and weekends to get homes sold. We thank you for all that you do and look forward to an even better year next year.

Dear Marianne,

I’m so excited that you decided to accept the position here in the London office. There is a great team out here, and I think you’ll fit in well. It’s been a little hard adjusting to the weather after living in Los Angeles for my entire life, but I’m sure you won’t have a problem with that having grown up in Seattle and Vancouver. The weather is pretty similar, really – overcast and drizzly with periods of sun a few times a day. Public transportation here is top-notch, and I recommend taking the train from the airport when you arrive. I’ve attached a train schedule for you so you can see which one works given your 7:45 a.m. arrival. Remember you’ll need to clear immigration and customs, so I recommend expecting to get to the train platform about 2 hours after you land. Our offices are a few blocks away from the train station, so I can meet you there, and we can walk back to the office together. Have a safe flight!
