As you already know I went recently and applied for a job as manager at Boxes and More, and the interview went really well. The company said that they were very pleased with me but they needed a letter of recommendation. I know that you had previously stated that if I needed a letter of recommendation to just ask for one.
The position is asking for a background in business. They also would like to have some managerial skills which I think I posse with my military background. To help you write my letter I have enclosed my resume. Also I remember doing many after school projects for your class that was not required, and you kept a log of that.
Please send the letter directly to Mrs. Jonasz at Boxes and More before May 10. I have enclosed a preadressed and stamped envelope. I am thankful for your support over the years and I look forward to keeping in touch.
The great thing about Franklin D. Roosevelt was the way he captivated his audience into the whole understanding and main points. At the time, FDR had to be the most visionary person for the nation and his goals was stretched out so good that he was one of the few men who served four terms to accomplish his goals in the time of great need in the country.
A. FDR introduced himself by speaking of the audience, the people of the United States. The start of the speech indicated that he was concerned with the people by going straight into the subjects of peril of the United States to grab the attention to the audience. Through the body of the speech, FDR kept emphasizing and explaining the problems that the nation is undergoing and what we need to do to help the situation.
B. The overall organization of the speech was excellent. You can tell in his speech because he did not stop at all. Another indication was that he was very ready for the speech with the knowledge of his vocabulary. You can tell that when he did look down at his summary inauguration, that he didn't stare at it. This means that he only wrote down keywords and had memorized his speech.
C. FDR was a man who used the verbal signposts to help create coherence in the speech. The raising and lowering of his voice at the right times and right words was a definite signpost. His pausing of speech between words was to help emphasize the subject even more.
D. Franklin D. Roosevelt had many main points. Of course, his message was to point out what the nation needs to do first before we can succeed in our goals. His introduction is what he was best recognized for. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". Another point is the going over the "Good Neighbor" policy through world policies and friendship. Some of the biggest ones are to emphasize the importance of creating jobs and helping farmers out in the 48 states.
E. The supporting facts of the speech were clearly stated after each point was made. For instance, when he said was telling the problem of farm jobs, he stated about how the farmers cannot find markets to which to sell to. He also endured the fact that money does not make people happy. It is the achievement of which they will have once the mission is completed.
F. In the overall speech, more or less, what FDR was trying to convey to the audience is that the benefits of their fruits of labor to the overall good of the nation is the benefits that will be displayed. He also conveyed that it will be a long hard road, but together, with the understanding of what will come and what needs to be done, that this benefits the nation and its people overall.
G. Franklin D. Roosevelt gave out a lot of enthusiasm during his speech. You can tell by his change of tone in his voice. Another way is how he trembled in emotion when he spoke. However, his opening statement and "fear" speech started me out as interested in his speech. I was stricken with hope that this man could help out our nation and that his sincere speech and dedication was exactly what the country needed.
Many people can view the visual speech and hear Franklin D. Roosevelt on the website www.youtube.com. It is best understood when you read his speech as he is speaking it to understand the importance of his speech and how he was a good deliverer of one of the most famous speeches in the twentieth century. The need of the nation is of the up most importance to the president and is well conveyed in his message, through the dire need of his appointment in history.
Helping you improve your business practice is of the highest priority to us at Fast Booze On The Move. That is why we here at Fast Booze On The Move is pleased to offer our business proposal. Our company can further the number of customers you have, and satisfy those that you already have. Our company has already had twelve years of outstanding success. We are able to offer alcohol at a lower price and a fast turn around too. In addition, we are one of the few license alcohol delivery companies in the country, and we have twelve years of experience already.
Background and Goals
We have been in our practice for twelve years. Our company initiated seeing something that no one really thought of but everyone could use, we saw a demand and an opportunity. That opportunity would lead to not only the distribution of something that 75 percent of homes already have, but something safe for the other people in the world.
Our goal is to safely distribute the distribution of alcohol. We all know when people are under the alcohol influence they do inappropriate actions. A lot of people are out driving around trying to find more booze. Our goal is to help reduce the number of alcohol related incidents. Our company prevents car accidents by preventing the need to drive. This will keep our families safe.
Proposed Plan
My proposed plan is that we can merge our companies and with your outstanding customer service background we can thrive for a better community. I have the capabilities to handle the business. This would cut down cost and increase profit. My proposed time would be an immediate merging. If we delayed our merge we would just be losing capital. I would be in direct management along with you. I like to be involved and proactive in the business. We will only sell the best of our products and make sure that the alcohol is stored at the proper temperatures.
Staffing
Fast Booze On The Move is currently staffed to initiate our business. When our business grows we are prepared to train. Currently we have eight drivers, four clerks, four stock men, and myself.
The company's eight drivers have been through multiple prestigious driving schools, in addition the drivers have a liquor license. Some of the schools that the drivers have been to are safe driving course, accident avoidance, and what to do when you lose control. My clerks all have their associates in business and accounting. One of them has prior experience working for a major company for 10 years. One of the others is new but is catching on very well; they all have their liquor license. Three of my stock men are pretty young; the other is 30 and has previous experiences at stores like Wal-Mart. All of the stock men are very energetic and they all have a liquor license. I have a bachelor in business management, and an associate in accounting. I also have prior experience as a manager for a company, and I have my liquor license.
Budget
Estimated Hours RateTotal
Drivers3514/hr. $490/per driver
Stock men4010/hr.400/per stock men
Clerks4014/hr.560/per clerk
Me5555,000/yearly
Total Costsper year estimate $458,520
Also with the budget there are other costs that will be involved which are to include:
Vehicles
Liquor costs
Maintenance
Packaging
Fuel
Storage
Advertising
Insurance
Uniforms
By hiring us though, we can already have a reputable name built up so when we merge we just have to mention your company and mine and it should be a success. Also by hiring us we have already went through getting the liquor licensing which is not easy to get. Also you have many years of experience already in the business. There is also the training that people have gone through that equals time and money. There is many years of college already taken care off included to.
Schedule
The schedule that we are currently running involves:
Monday through Thursday1 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Friday and Saturday10 a.m. to 3 a.m.
Sundayoff
During major holidays and long weekends we change the hours to accommodate the needs of the customer.
Conclusion
By merging Mr. Walker we would both be benefiting greatly. Also we would be cutting out a lot of un-needed costs. Instead of going through a middle man just go to the man himself. Instead of paying for shipping on a product we can just pick it up ourselves. The want is out there it is just our turn to make something out of it. You have the product and the customers, and I have the transportation means and the man power to distribute. So instead of paying someone else to do stuff for us, let us do for others.
Mr. Walker I would like to get back to you on idea of this proposition, but I would like to give you a week or two to think about it. If you have any further questions you can contact me on my cell at (812)719-5673 or email me at earl.sweeney@yahoo.com. I am looking forward to doing business with you and us becoming a team. I would like to setup a meeting around that time if you could.

Introductory Remarks:
As everyone knows we are here to discuss preparations for a career day in the spring. This is a very important day for the other students. This can be the day that the students find out what it is they want to do with the rest of their lives, or find out more information regarding whatever decision they have already made. We need to make sure that we have everything that we possibly can do for each other taken care of and make this day a success. Also we need to figure out a exact date of when we want to host this event. I am very glad to see all of you here and can not wait to work as a team with all of you.
Ms. Nancy Mercado, Manager Convention Services 281 Paris Drive Las Vegas, NV 87551
Dear Ms. Mercado:
Please provide information with what you can offer for 75 rooms for four days, and three conference rooms for one and a half days.
Our company would like to know your room rates, conference facilities, and entertainment possibilities for families. Our dates right now that we are looking into is July 8-12 or August 18-22. I know that these are off peak times and wanted to know whether there is a discount that we can get.
Also I would like to know if you have any knowledge on what entertainment that will be showing at Paris Las Vegas during these times. Our CEO wants to host a banquet for 140 people one night during one of these times.
Thanks for responding before February 22 so that we can plan properly for this event. Any other additional information that you might have would also be appreciated.
The class schedule is overwhelming to some of the students on the campus. They think that the classes could be better scheduled. Students have other things that are involved in their lives then just college. There is no room for flexibility in the way that the classes are scheduled now.
The school should;
o Offer more classes at different times o Offer make up times for classes
A more flexible schedule could benefit the college on a big level. By offering a more flexible class schedule more students are more likely to sign up for classes. When the students sign up for more classes that means that the college is going to receive more money by the students, and by the city or state that they are involved in. Another thing that could benefit the college would mean that the teachers are able to have a more flexible schedule, which intern is going to help them get more involved with their students. This involvement will increase grade point averages by a marginal bit.
Specifically I recommend that you do the following: o Offer a more wide range of class times and classes o Hire more teachers that are looking for a change of pace from time to time o Take a survey before and after you make the changes to get feedback from your students
Mrs. Rosa Jonasz, Instructor Central Texas College 7360 Oak Hill Drive San Antonio, TX 65231

It is an honor to have the opportunity to assist you in your time of research. Mrs. Jonasz, Las Vegas is the most populous state in the U.S. of Nevada…renowned major resort city for gambling, shopping, fine dining, and entertainment. Here are just a few reasons why I recommend residing here:
Las Vegas bills itself as the Entertainment Capital of the World…A growing retirement and family city, it is the 28th most populous city in the United States with an estimated population by the U.S. Census Bureau 603,093 as of 2008. The primary drivers of the Las Vegas economy have been the confluence of tourism, gaming, and conventions which in turn feed the retail and dining industries.
Technology companies in Southern Nevada holds many occupational opportunities for example: Bigelow Aerospace, CommPartners, Datanamics, eVitalCommunicatons, Petroglyph, SkywireMedia, and WorldDoc.
Constant population growth means that the housing construction industry is vitally important. In 2000 more than 21,000 new homes and 26,000 resale homes were purchased.
The Mayor of Las Vegas sits as a Council member-at-large and presides over all of the City Council meetings. In the event that the Mayor cannot preside over a City Council meeting, the Mayor Pro-Tem is the presiding officer of the meeting until such time as the Mayor returns to his seat. The City Manager is responsible for the administration and the day-to-day operation of all of the municipal services and city departments. The City Manager also maintains intergovernmental relationships with federal, state, county and other local governments.
Primary and secondary public education is provided by the Clark County School District (CCSD), which is the fifth most populous school district in the nation (projected enrollment for the 2007–2008 school year is 314,000 students in grades K–12).
RTC Transit is a public transportation system providing bus service throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and other suburban areas of the valley. Intercity bus service to Las Vegas is provided by traditional intercity bus carriers, including Greyhound; many charter services, including Green Tortoise; and several Chinatown bus lines. Amtrak California also operates Deluxe Express Thruway Motor coach dedicated service between the City and its nearest passenger rail station in Barstow, California. Also, City Ride Bus Service is provided by the Transportation Services Division. It offers two routes in the downtown area with fares running from free to $0.50, depending on age and disabilities.
Mrs. Jonasz, I appreciate your interest in the state I have grown to know and love, Hopefully my approach assisted you further in your decision of residing here in Las Vegas, Nevada. Remember ONLY VEGAS!

A new pre-work stretching program will be implemented immediately. We are starting this new program so that it will loosen everyone up before they have to go to work. The assistant managers and myself have come up with the program.
Everyone will show up to there shift an extra forty five minutes early. During this forty five minutes we will do different stretches and rotations, these will help cut down on injuries and also hopefully clear your mind. My goal is to have a more comfortable working environment, and to keep every one's insurance cost down. I will be there leading these stretches. Everyone is encouraged to get involved and make this a fun event.
All employees will get paid for there time doing these stretches. This should add an extra three hours and forty five minutes to your work week. These stretches will put you over your forty hours so you can think of it as getting paid time and half for having fun. If you can not make it to these stretches then you need to let one of my assistant manager know at least thirty minutes early.
Remember that these exercises will benefit you. If you have any questions or comments you can contact me. Do not be afraid to come up with some suggestions for these stretches and rotations. If you feel like something needs to be added, suggest it. I will do my best to make sure that we are getting a stretch session and having fun at the same time.

To: Suzette Chase From: Mark King Subject:Recommendation for Employee Absenteeism
Suzette:
As you requested, I am submitting my recommendations for dealing with your employee. The first problem that we have we this issue is that it shows insubordination. The second problem is that it affects work performance.
Inform New Employees Of Attendance Policies:
You should establish expectations during the first initial interview with an applicant. If your employees are going to be absent they should give you a 24 hour notice if possible. Let them know that there is a point system for being absent. You should come up with this system and put a memorandum out to all of your employees.
Maintain A Written Log:
I suggest that it is very important that you keep the log on your people being absent. When or if there comes a time when we have to punish the person we have information as a record. Also another great thing about that is it shows how much one person can effect a company. I hope that these suggestions are helpful to you. If you need any further information I am here to help you.

I think Reebok could benefit by diversifying its staff by, the fact it would bring in different opinions from all over the place. I mean you are making shoes so it is all about fashion. People from all over the place are going to have a different out look on fashion and what they want from it. Also it would bring in competition from all over the place for pay. I mean so then they don't keep getting the same people used to a certain type of pay, it might let them pay there employees less. Also some people might just look at color as a reason for buying stuff. So if they see it is all white then they might not buy from them.
I would implement a training program for both the Thais and the Western employees, I would also train everyone. The training would be a sign of showing respect for each other. Also, it would be good for both, Westerners and Thais. So, maybe if one doesn't understand one way then if they try the other way then it might work. I mean especially since communication is very important. When you are working in a country that is not yours, learning their language is showing respect to their culture. However, it is good for the Thais to learn since most of the guests are not natives. It would be good for everyone to learn. Learning never hurts anyone.
