Questions 166-168 refer to the following email.
Lee Bright
Fillmore Bank
RE: Account fee
Dear Mr. Bright:
Thank you for your email dated Oct. 14 regarding a fee charged to your checking account. In
answer to your question, the fee of $25 was charged because your average daily balance for the
month of September dropped below $5,000. This is In line with the policy that governs your
account, which is a Privilege Plus account.

To avoid this fee in the future, please maintain an average daily balance of $5,000 In the account.
Or, you can switch to a different type of checking account. The Privilege Basic account, for
example, has no minimum balance requirement. Of course, It also does not entitle you to the
benefits of Privilege Plus status: free checks and debit cards, enhanced online security, and online
banking services at no charge.
If you would like to make a change, you can contact a customer service representative at 5552904. Also, because you are such a valued customer, we will go ahead and refund the fee in
question. However, this is a one-time action; in the future, any fees will be applied to your
account So we encourage you to take the necessary steps to ensure that your account remains In
good standing.
As always, thank you for banking with us.

Subject: Facilities at the Grand
Alex,
As requested, I toured the facilities at the Grand International Hotel a week ago. Their two firstfloor ballrooms should be large enough to accommodate the main conference events. Also, just
down the hall are several smaller meeting rooms where we can stage the panels and seminar
discussions.

Unfortunately, our options for dining are not as conveniently positioned. The hotel runs an openair courtyard café just outside the main ballrooms, but there isn’t much seating space—only about
100 chairs. A more spacious and elegant choice would be the Grand International Restaurant, but
it’s on the third floor, on the other side of the hotel. I'll leave it to you to decide which location
would be best for the introductory luncheon on the first day.
And, of course, I still haven't heard when exactly the conference will be held. Haven’t you picked
a weekend yet? As soon as you do, please contact Regina Lim, the events coordinator at the
Grand International. Her number is 555-6392.

Edna, thanks for your email, and I apologize for my delay In getting back to you.

To answer your last question—yes, a date for the conference has been set. It will run from Friday
February 16, to Sunday, February 18. I've already called Regina, and everything is arranged.

As for Friday's luncheon, I believe the outdoor dining area will be adequate. We don't expect
mow than 80 participants to be there for the introductory event. Then, for the group lunch on
Sunday can use the hotel's main restaurant.

Have you started preparing your presentation? I just spoke with Bill Waters, who’s giving
keynote address on Sunday, and he was quite nervous. In fact, I should go help him with it now.
See you soon,

Subject: Your promotion
Hello, I am Interested In taking advantage of promotion CVX-194, which I saw advertised by
your company. I am putting on a dinner party for friends and colleagues at my home next month,
and my original idea was to order three platters of your traditional appetizers, plus six entrée
items and four desserts. Obviously, though, I would like to save on my order, so I am now
thinking of getting the Asian appetizers instead of the traditional ones. Can you tell me what type
of appetizers come on the platter? Also, is the size the same as that of the traditional appetizers?
Additionally, I’m still unsure exactly how many people will be attending the event, but I’m fairly
certain it will be between 10 and 15. Is the amount of food I described enough for a maximum of
15 people, or would you recommend another entrée? Ideadlly, I would like to place my order in
the next few days, and then call in and add more if I learn that more people are coming.
Wouldthis be possible?
I eagerly await your reply.
