I recently bought three packages of Juan’s taco shells from my local grocery store. I
had bought these to use for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. She loves tacos, and I
promised that she and her friends could have them at her birthday party. However,
when I opened the packers to prepare her birthday meal, I found every single taco
shell in all three packers to be broken. It was too late to go out to buy new shells, so
instead of serving the tacos that I had promised, we had to order pizza. My daughter
was terrible upset, and her birthday party was ruined. I would like to receive a full
refund of the money I paid for the broken shells. Sincerely, Mark Martin Juan’s Taco Co. 8231 La Junta Way Oxnard, CA 91344 Dear Mr. Martin,

To: All Leisure Services Local Directors
From: Derek Gray, New Town Leisure Center Director Re: Tennis promotion Date: April 10
We are trying to increase use of our tennis courts and facilities. At the
moment, many of our courts are hardly ever used. If we want to maintain
government funding, we need to show that there really is a demand for
these facilities. I am planning on displaying the following poster in every
local leisure center. Before I send it to the printers, could you take a look
and give me your comments and suggestions? Do you think anything should be changed or added? Many thanks, Derek Gray TENNIS FOR ALL
Tennis continues to be one of the most popular sports all over the world. One of the
main attractions of this sport is that it can be played by people of all ages, young and
old. Although tennis has a reputation for being an expensive sport, it doesn’t have to
be. A good racket can cost only $40 and a can of balls only $2.00. But where to play?
Sure there are fancy private clubs that costs $100 a month, but why not try one of the
many public parks and leisure centers which offer tennis courts free of charge and
lessons for a very reasonable price? Contact your local leisure center directors for
information on how you can get involved in this exciting sport!

20. What does Derek Gray ask local directors to do before he sends the poster to the printers?
