If you havent heard about it already, please visit www.vancouvercenter.co.cc for more details. The city government, which is commissioning the project, is looking for a bold and innovative design. I immediately thought of you when I read the specifications, as youre a talented young architect with a unique style and vision. I know you dont have much experience with this sort of contest, but Im sure you can produce a winning design. This could be a major contract for our firm so, if you can succeed, it might also take your career to the next level. The closing date for entries is Friday, the 19th of September. I know you are currently working on the project headed by Gary Hutchinson to redesign the Edmonton Shopping Mall, but I think you should still have plenty of time to put together a good design. If you want to meet with me to brainstorm ideas, just let me know. Regards, Lesley WadeFrom: Gregor SlavicTo: Leslie WadeSubject: Re: Design CompetitionDear Ms. Wade, Thank you for alerting me to this exciting opportunity. It sounds like the organization running the competition is looking for something new and fresh. Thats an interesting challenge for an architect, and I would relish the opportunity to work on an entry. Unfortunately, however, that may not be possible. The work on the Edmonton Shopping Mall project has been delayed by several weeks due to a hold-up in the building consent process. We are working as fast as we can, but it is very frustrating. To be honest, I think the only way I will be able to produce a competition-winning design is that another associate at the firm takes my place on the Edmonton Shopping Mall project. That way, I can concentrate all my efforts on the Vancouver convention center. Perhaps you should talk to the project supervisor to work out a solution. I look forward to hearing back from you about this.

Neon Mountain will provide over $5oo,ooo to the project over the next two years. The money contributed by Albertas largest clothing manufacturer will be used to restore and maintain this wonderful natural feature. The funds provided by this corporate sponsorship deal will allow the Alberta Wildlife Fund to continue on with plans to replant native grass seeds along the Burmester Plain near Halifax. The native flora and fauna in this area have previously been affected by industrial activity in the area, especially mining. The goal of the Burmester Grasslands Restoration Project is to encourage regeneration of native plants in the area. It is hoped that this, in turn, will attract the insects and birds that once flourished there. Neon Mountain chief executive Pero Martinez is excited about having the opportunity to support the environment. In a statement made earlier today, he said: "Neon Mountain is a brand that the community associates with Canadas great outdoors. But our great outdoors is actually under threat.

Call 555-0890 or email membership to inquire about becoming a member today! From: Margaret Jones To: membership Subject: Query Hello, My name is Margaret Jones, and I am interested in becoming a member of the Bernadine Clinic. I was able to learn about the facilities and services on offer for members via your website, and it sounds like exactly the sort of help I need to get in shape. However, I am concerned about the cost of membership. According to the website, I would have to sign up for a minimum of 24 months, at a cost of nearly $250 per month. I am only earning a modest salary, so this would be a major cost for me. I was wondering if it might be possible to commit to a shorter trial period at a reduced price. That way, I can determine for certain whether becoming a full-time member would be a good investment. I look forward to your reply on this matter.
