I just received my order this morning and unfortunately, there were a few problems.
The Carlucci sunglasses were broken. Also, even though the Terrain helmet is of greater
value, I would prefer waiting for the Fast Silver helmet, as it is a bit lighter than the
Terrain one. I will send back these two items this afternoon. If you could send me a
replacement pair of sunglasses, I would appreciate it. As for the helmet, you can just
send me a Fast Silver helmet when your shipment arrives. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Vince Armstrong 32. (0.2 points)

Landscape Artist Creates Local Gardens
Agnetha Anderson is becoming a household name among those interested in garden
design. Following her critically acclaimed work for the courthouse gardens in Melbourne,
Ms. Anderson has done several projects including the landscape design for the new home
of local entrepreneur Benny Johnson. Johnson has also hired Anderson to develop the
grounds surrounding his company’s new headquarters which will be located in Sydney.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Agnetha. She has an incredible vision about what
a garden should be. She creates outdoor spaces that feel comfortable and relaxing. I can
hardly wait for her to start on our next project in Sydney,” says Johnson.
When asked why her gardens and landscaping are becoming so popular, Anderson said,
“I think a garden should be a place where people can relax. You should feel free to sit on
the grass and take your shoes off. I try to create a beautiful and accommodating
atmosphere through my work.” She also mentioned that designing gardens gives her the
opportunity to be creative and spend time outdoors. “The only drawback is that I don’t
have enough time to spend at home in my own garden,” she added. Anderson says she is
still in the planning stages for her next project with Mr. Johnson, but looks forward to
getting started as soon as possible. From: Benny Johnson To: Agnetha Anderson Subject: Landscaping plans
I am very excited about working with you again on our second project, and I just received
the plans and blueprints you've drawn up this morning. I am very pleased with what you
have done so far. I especially like the idea for the pond surrounded by trees. However, I
was wondering if we could move it further away from the entrance. As we will have a lot
of traffic through that area, I would like a larger space around the entrance. Could you
keep the design for the pond, but simply move it to the left side of the building? Let me
know if this is OK. You can just write me an e-mail. Other than that, everything else
looks wonderful. Thank you for all your help. Benny 37. (4 points)
