As we discussed in our telephone conversation, Certain Seal is well suited to the needs of a
mid-to-large-scale food processing company. It is designed to handle large volumes and can be
customized for almost any size or shape of food product.
Certain Seal also lengthens the shelf life of your products. As you know, one of the biggest
causes of food spoilage is excess air left in vacuum-sealed packages. Our system is especially
effective in eliminating this threat. In the September issue of Industry World magazine,
comparison testing indicated that Certain Seal removed excess air more efficiently than similar
vacuum packaging systems (such as the Sigillare 100 produced by TYT Industries)
Food quality is ensured further by the packaging material itself. For the Certain Seal system,
we use an especially durable plastic that protects foods throughout the freezing, shipping, and
reheating processes.
This is just an overview of some of the benefits of our technology. I will go into greater detail
in my October presentation at your office. In order to tailor the presentation to your needs, I
would like to know more about Home Country’s production requirements. Please contact me
at our main offices in Oakland at (510) 555-0115 between 9 AM and 6 PM.
Sincerely,

We actively encourage staff participation in our recycling efforts, “The Clean Earth Program.”
Many among our staff have been involved with the program since it started nearly a decade ago,
but some newer employees may not be familiar with it. To that end, I’d like to meet with
everyone this Friday at 5 P.M. in Staff Room B and show you how the program works.
Attendance is mandatory, and it will take about 20 minutes to run through everything.
Before we meet, there are a few things you should know. We’re very lucky in that we could
enlist the help of D&S Removal Services for our recycling needs. They have provided us with
the big recycling container you see beside the photocopier as well as comprehensive pick-up
service. You may place any recyclable items – from folders to cell phones to old printers – into
this box for collection. However, we ask that you return used ink cartridges to our office
manager, Marge Glowacki, for refilling. If you would like a small container to use by your desk,
you can request one by calling David Lembke in custodial services at X-5822.
Through the Clean Earth program, we are striving to recycle at least 70% of our office waste.
The program got off the ground when our media room librarian, Douglas Yoon, needed to

Atlanta (United News Service)—Atlanta-based Cezanta Air, the nation’s number four airline,
announced today that it will cut its domestic airfares significantly. The company is hoping that
by offering its new promotional fare plan, the carrier will be able to increase its customer base
and win a greater share of the market. The company promises to charge no more than $300 for
a one-way economy ticket or $500 for a one-way first-class ticket. The new plan also includes
the reduction of various ticketing fees and the elimination of several less-traveled routes at the
end of this year. Cezanta hopes that these changes will raise revenue over the long term. The
company is also planning to update its airplanes’ interiors and redesign flight attendants’
uniforms.
