A warm welcome is extended to all of the people who are participating for the first time. The organizers of the exhibit wish to thank Realto Inc. for the use of their facilities.

How to assemble invitations for mailing

 

1. Start by placing your invitation face-up in front of you. If you want to use the tissues, place the tissue over the writing. The tissues are absolutely not necessary- they were originally packing material used when engraving inks were oily and wouldn’t have dried by the time they were shipped, so the tissues kept the inks form smudging until they dried. They were “supposed” to be removed before assembling the invitation for mailing. However, over time, using the tissues has become “proper”, so you’re welcome to use them if you would like. If you printed your invitations on your own printer, you might find that the tissues do indeed serve a purpose- printer inks often “do” smudge during mailing.

 

2. If your invitations are the sort that need to be folded in half to fit into the envelope, you fold the invitation from top to bottom, with the writing on the inside. If you are enclosing response cards, they should be tucked under the flap on the invitation.

 

3. Pick up the invitation in your right hand. Pick up the envelope in your left hand. Stuff the invitation into the envelope with the fold of the invitation at the bottom of the envelope, and with the writing on the invitation facing the back of the envelope.

 

The purpose of this whole scheme is to ensure that when your invitees receive the invitation, they open the envelope and immediately encounter the card with writing facing them as they withdraw the letter.

 

 

13. Why would a person use the tissues?




14. What is the stated purpose of this scheme?

Please, help us save the environment !!

 

Because of the limited fresh water supply on the island, we kindly ask our guests to help us conserve our precious natural resources!

 

Here are the facts:
 

® More than 60% of all water on the island is consumed by the tourism industry.

® Excessive amount of laundry detergents and bleaches from washing towels, for example, contaminates our water supply.

® When a faucet is left to drip, it can waste up to 10 liters of water a day, worsening the situation of the limited water supply on the island.

 

What you can do to help: 

 

® Use only the towels you need

® Don’t leave the tap water running

® Immediately notify staff of any leaks or drips.

 

If you have any inquiries, please contact the reception desk and thank you for your cooperation.

June 2011

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Please find enclosed your copy of our annual report. Since its publication, the Board has made a number of management changes. On 31 May Darrell Wang was appointed as Chief Executive, Nancy Goldman was appointed as Executive Director and Roger Clark stepped down as Chief Executive. Vittorio Fellini is also leaving the Board as Executive Director with effect from 11 June.

 

On May 10th the company announced that Luc LeBlanc had indicated his intention to leave the Board due to his changed personal circumstances. With the appointment of Darrell as Chief Executive, Luc felt it was an appropriate time to go and the Board appointed me as Chairperson on an interim basis until a permanent appointment is made.

 

The Board is committed to delivering the full potential of Hannush Corporation for the benefit of its shareholders and customers. Under the leadership of Darrell, we believe we are well placed to do this. He brings a wealth of retail experience to the job, having held senior executive positions at Arcadia, Sears and Roebuck and having previously spent 17 years at Hannush Corporation.

 

On June 3rd the Board rejected a possible offer from Revival Acquisitions as it significantly undervalued the Company and its prospects. Also enclosed is a notice of the meeting setting out the resolutions to be proposed at our AGM on 14 July. If you are unable to attend that meeting in person please sign and return the proxy from. Alternatively you can register your vote electronically by logging on to our registrar’s website, www.sharevote.com

How to Check an Insurer’s Ratings

 

If you’re looking for whole life coverage or a term policy that you’ll want to keep for 20 or 30 years, the financial soundness of the insurer is a critical concern. You want some assurance the company will be around in case you aren’t. For insurance companies, the major credit agencies like Standard & Poor’s rate claims–paying ability.

 

Fortunately, information on the credit worthiness of insurance companies is easy to obtain. Reports are cheep or free over the Internet. You can always contact the insurance company and ask about its ratings, but it’s best to get this information independently. In general, go with an insurer rated A or better; the most financially sound insurers are rated AAA, though some rating agencies use slightly different letter grades.

 

The premier web site in terms of detail and ease of use (best of all, it’s free) is insure.com where you can get ratings online from Standard $ Poor’s as well comprehensive reports on individual insurers. Duff & Phelps ratings of claims-paying ability are available free at dcrco.com. AM Best ambest.com has a huge database, but you have to pay for it. While you can access ratings free of charge, a detailed company report will set you back $35

 

Make sure any report you get is current, say within the last six months. Be extra careful to confirm ratings you’ll find on many of the online quote services, which may be stale.

 

 

23. Who would be most interested in obtaining the ratings of insurance companies?




24. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?




25. What is mentioned as the advantage of using insure.com?

October 12, 2011

 

Dear Ms. Arlington,

 

In the previous letter, which was sent to you on October 3rd, our employee notified you that we still had not received our products from you. I believe that the order was put in on September 13th, which is more than two weeks before we sent out the notification to you. We have been patient with you, however, you’ve once again disappointed us. I have attached a copy of the receipt I received the day I placed the order for your reference. Since we have never received any of the products we ordered a month ago, which were supposed to be delivered in a week, we would like you to refund us the payment. The price is shown on the receipt, but just to remind you, it is $229.50. Unfortunately, we will not be able to do any business with you anymore, for we have lost a few customers by disappointing them with non-delivery of the products we promised them, which you had promised us.

 

I would like the refund sent to us as soon as possible. Thank you.
