We would also like to inquire as to the possibility of room rate discounts, as the majority of our conference participants would no doubt prefer to reserve accommodations there. Please call Beth Fulton, our conference coordinator, at 784-6324 to discuss prices and possible menu options.

Dear Mr. Chilton:
Our company will be hosting a one-day computer class on Saturday, October 10, 19–. Unfortunately, the main office over-registered us, and we are now having to look for larger accommodations.
We need a large conference room with at least 16 power outlets, and several long tables where we could set up computer equipment. We will also need a lunch buffet for approximately 60 people.
We have received many recommendations from other businesses who have used your facilities for similar classes and found both the rooms and the staff to be first rate. Please call me at 862-8953 to discuss availability and prices. Thank you.
Yours Truly,

SUBJECT: Menu Planning for Upcoming Meeting
I know you have made most of our catering arrangements already. However, I have just been informed that two employees at the Mulligan branch do not eat certain meats due to religious beliefs. Unfortunately, Kate (the Mulligan branch secretary) could not remember specifically which meats. Could you therefore order two vegetarian meals? Kate indicated that they usually ordered vegetarian for their office luncheons. Thanks so much for your help!
