New Tasteemix Flavor a Big Hit

PORT LOUIS (2 February)  - Three weeks ago, Helvetia Food Industries (HFI) announced the introduction of a new flavor of its popular Tasteemix breakfast cereal-coconut cream.[1]. HFI also announced that the product would be available for a limited time only, sending Tasteemix enthusiasts from Argentina to Zam

bias into a buying frenzy.

All six major grocery distributors here in Mauritius confirmed that they had received a large supply of coconut cream Tasteemix shortly after the new product was introduced on 8 January. [2]. Both wholesalers expected it to be gone by the end of the day. 

“ HFI's current campaign is reminiscent of the one it waged four years ago when it introduced its strawberry-cinnamon cereal," said Bina Perida, a professor of marketing at Port Louis Business College. "Then, as now HFI announced a product as being offered for a limited time only, resulting in that item's rapid disappearance from shelves into grocery stores across the globe."[3]_. 

On 5 April, HFI's accountants will review the company's first-quarter earnings Based on the initial sales, market watchers are confident that HFI's expectations will be met. [4].

MEMO 

Date: May 15 

We would like to announce the upcoming retirement of Ken Esser.  Mr.Esser began a 30-year career here at The Terra as a wildlife ranger in the California Wildlife Park. He has held seven different positions, eventually becoming the general director of conservation for all West Coast Wildlife Parks. He has been in this position for the past 15 years, leading with vision and commitment. Now at the age of 65, he is leaving us for a well-deserved retirement. 

The board of directors has voted to give him a Lifetime Achievement Award and will present him with a commemorative plaque at the staff meeting next Friday. Following the staff meeting, we invite all employees to stay for a reception to honor Mr. Esser and his great contributions. If you would like to write a farewell note to Mr. Esser, please stop by Andrew Braun's office to sign a book that will be presented at the reception.

Kato, Yuri [9:21 AM.]: Hello. I'd like an update on the Mondvale Road job. Are we still on schedule to begin on Monday? 

Vega, Camila [9:22 A.M]: No, I'm afraid that there has been some delay in getting the fabric for the drapes and bed linens. It looks like we may be held up until Wednesday. 

Kato, Yuri [9:22 A.M.]: Have you communicated this to the client? 

Vega, Camila [9:23 AM]: Not yet. Richard is waiting to hear from the distributor first so that we can give the client a firm date. Have you heard from them yet, Richard? 

Bremen, Richard [9:34 A.M]: I just got off the phone with them. It looks like everything will arrive on Monday afternoon, so we could actually begin the job on Tuesday. 

Vega, Camila [9:35 AM]: That's good news. I'll call the client this morning and let them know. 

Bremen, Richard [9:35 A.M]: You should also remind them that we will begin working on the guest rooms first and work our way toward the lobby and first-floor public areas last. We'll send a large crew so the work can be finished quickly.

Kato, Yuri [9:36 AM]: How long do you think it will take to complete the job? 

Bremen, Richard [9:37 AM]: We can probably be finished by Friday, as we originally planned. 

Kato, Yuri [19:38 AM]: Excellent. They're a new client with several locations and a high profile in the business community, so I want things to go smoothly. I'm sure there will be more work with them in the long run if all goes well.

Subject : Request for information

Date : September 16 

To Whom It May Concern:

I currently lease a car from your company. However, I recently accepted a job in Memphis City, and I am going to start taking the bus. My agreement is number LA508. It is a month-to-month lease that automatically renews on the same day each month. 

My new job starts on Tuesday, September 28, so ideally I would return the car to you on Monday, September 27. However, if the renewal date is earlier than that Monday, I would rather return the car at the end of the current month's contract and make other transportation arrangements until my new job starts. 

Please let me know on what exact day of the month my lease ends and when I need to return the car. 

Thank you, 

Kana Saito

Re: Mark Peckham Item

Date: February 1

To Whom It May Concern: 

I have a guitar that was previously owned by Mark Peckham. I found your Web site and thought that Hardewicke's might be interested in purchasing it for resale The guitar was custom-made for Mr. Peckham by his close friend Elizabeth Dangerfield to celebrate the first album. He took it on tour with him around the country as well as abroad. The guitar was purchased by my father at a charity auction hosted by Mr. Peckham 20 years ago. 

Please let me know what your purchasing procedures are and whether you buy items up front or take a percentage of the transaction when you resell the item. Thank you,

Subject: Radio Interview 

I discovered BTW Radio over 20 years ago and have been a regular listener of your evening programming for at least a decade. I just want to say how much I enjoy your newest offering. I've been interested in many of the authors that have been featured on the show so far, but last evening's guest was especially entertaining. 

I remember James from when he was a little boy. I worked with his parents when they lived in New York, and I recall seeing James in his parents' studio most days after he got out of school. I was surprised to learn that he has written about his childhood, and I look forward to reading his new book. 

Thank you for the excellent program.

April 18 

I frequently travel for business, often carrying fragile samples with me on the plane. Most carry-ons these days are soft-sided, so it was a relief to find something that offers adequate protection. I’ve been mostly happy with the carry-on, but the larger bags have caused some problems. My black cases look so similar to everyone else's that other travelers have almost taken them by mistake! More variety would be nice. 

I also have some reservations about the mechanical elements of this set. In particular, the retraction mechanism of the wheels appears so delicately constructed as to be in danger of collapse.

BISTRO PLEASE

Enter Bentonside Bistro any day for lunch or dinner, and you'll hear the sounds of clinking forks and chattering patrons. “That's the sound of happy diners,”  says Herman Keel, the restaurant's owner. 

Opened two years ago, the bistro has exceeded expectations. The menu features traditional Irish dishes prepared by chef Deirdre Hanrahan. She notes, "We choose ingredients that are at the height of summer, fall, winter, and spring, and showcase these on our menu."

 On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Jacinta Coelho, a visitor from Brazil, was dining at the bistro. "I can't get over the freshness and homemade taste!" exclaimed Ms. Coelho. “It's like the chef  went outside and selected the ingredients just for me.”

Bentonside Bistro is located at 1644 Bentonside Road and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The interior is painted in bright shades of blue reminiscent of the ocean, with a rotating gallery of artwork adorning the walls. The staff is friendly and the delicious food is reasonably priced. Reservations are not required.
