For Immediate Release Via E-mail
Qantas Airways is delighted to announce its recent acquisition of hotel chain Reef, which
operates almost 500 hotels and motels throughout the region. Reef has been posting
increasing profits over the past three years and has opened more than 60 new facilities over
that period. As with Qantas Airways services, there are no signs that this expansion program
is slowing.
Qantas Airways intends to make minimal changes to the day-to-day running of Reef, leaving
in place their dynamic management team and their experienced staff. We envisage no
redundancies in the short term. In fact, in view of the exceptional opportunities offered by
the merger of an airline with a solid passenger base and a hotel chain with branches in all the
cities covered by Qantas Air, we expect to be hiring new employees in the near future.
Economies of scale also make it seem likely that the cost of flight / hotel packages to
consumers will reach new levels of value.
We welcome the staff and shareholders of Reef to the Qantas family.

Subject: Late delivery
Please accept our apologies for the delays with your last order. The problem lay not with us but
with our freight agent. The company has been having a labor dispute and although they assured us
that this wouldn’t impact our delivery schedule, it did. A lack of drivers means that their deliveries
are running around 48 hours behind schedule. I know that this might cause you some
embarrassment when it comes to shipping to your customers and we are sorry for this. We will of
course be changing freight company for your next order as there is little sign their dispute will be
settled, and we certainly do not want a repeat of this scenario.
I will bill you again for the last order: our normal freight charges minus 20%, and I hope this will go
some way towards compensating you for the inconvenience. I give you my personal assurance that
something of this nature will not happen again in the future.

Savor the crisp flavors of Vietnam

At Hanoi Restaurant, the Vietnamese-born chefs Mark Tan and Doug Son will guide our guests on a
journey of authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
If you're craving contrasting flavours, varied textures and exotic ingredients, think no further than
Vietnamese dishes. Relying on herbs such as lemongrass, coriander and basil, crunchy fresh
vegetables and fruit, very little use of oil, the treatment of meat as a side dish rather than a main
course, Vietnamese cuisine is widely regarded as being among the healthiest worldwide.
Hanoi is open Tuesday through Sunday from 12:30 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. for à la carte lunches and
dinners. Our ‘Vietnamese" week will take place from 3 to 12 September. During the week, purchase
any of the noodle dishes and get another for free.
Our chefs will also host two Vietnamese Specialty Buffets on Saturdays 5 and 12 September only

Questions 177-180 refer to the following news article.
Last week the president issued an executive order requiring the federal government to issue new
“chip-and-PIN” credit and debit cards as part of an effort to help “drive the market towards more
secure payment systems”. European consumers, who are used to using PINs with their microchip-
enabled credit cards, are no doubt aghast. Why has it taken America so long to adopt the anti-fraud
measures that continental consumers have used for years?
America is the only rich country that still relies on outdated technology for most credit-card
transactions. It is also the only one in which the market in counterfeit credit cards is still
consistently growing. Retailers, banks and card issuers lost $5.3 billion to credit-card fraud in
America in 2012 - about half the global total. Here’s the trouble: upgrading cards is expensive. New
card-readers are even dearer: upgrading all of the readers in America would cost hundreds of
millions of dollars.
But America's reluctance to adopt the new technology is about more than just upfront costs. After all,
European companies faced the same obstacles. There are two main reasons for the split. The first is
technological. During the 1990s, American credit card companies got much better at detecting potentially
fraudulent purchases and stopping them at the point of sale. Their European competitors didn't quite keep
up. That meant Europe had a disproportionate incentive to switch to chip-and-PIN. The second difference is
regulatory. Since European credit-card companies are responsible for paying most of the costs of fraud, they
have a significant incentive to reduce it. American credit-card companies, which operate under looser
regulations, have been able to pass on much of the cost of fraud to retailers and even consumers, and thus
have had little incentive to spend money to reduce the costs of fraud.
Since retailers are responsible for a good chunk of the costs of fraud in America, they are now
leading the way in making the switch to chip-and-PIN. Home Depot, Target, Walgreens and
Walmart have already made the change, spending oodles of money on new chip-and-PIN-
compatible card readers. The credit-card companies will keep up the pressure on retailers next
October, when they begin requiring the party with the least sophisticated technology to cover the
cost of fraudulent transactions.

Hi,
I ordered a few samples and a paint color on your website yesterday. I was really surprised and
happy to see them arrive this morning. However, there's something wrong with the items. I had
ordered OX 112 (Egypt White) but received DX 115 (MoMAGray). There must have been some
confusion at your end. Could you send me the correct paint by Friday? I'm gonna need it this
weekend. Also, are there colors close to DX 360? That shade perfectly matches the décor of my
living room, creating a naturally refreshing atmosphere. The others are either too dull or bright.
Thank you,

How have you been? Hope everything is well. I’m writing you about an associate of mine who is going on a

The family has planned to depart from Los Angeles on December 22 and return from Auckland on

Sorry for the late reply. Regarding the round-trip air ticket prices from LA via Hong Kong to Auckland,
I have reserved bookings for the three of you. Please see the attached detailed flight itineraries and
make certain that the names used for reservation are correctly spelled.
All the rates shown are special market net prices, yet please note that the fares between LA and

I could cancel the unneeded reservations to avoid double booking.
Don’t hesitate to contact me for any further questions.
