LETTER OF COMPLAINT
The Manager
Fly-By-Night Travel,
101 Constable Street
Edinburgh EH4 3PQ
Edinburgh, 12 June 2010
Dear Sir,
I’m writing to complain about the way a member of your staff treated me in Fly-By-Night Travel last Monday.
I went to alter a flight booking to London (your ref. AST.3625B) as a result of a mistake your office made in issuing my ticket.
I tried to explain the situation to the travel clerk, but he was extremely rude to me. He suggested that I was in the wrong and told me that I would have to pay a supplement to upgrade my original ticket. In the end I had to pay an extra $40.
I often fly to London and always use Fly-By-Night, but if I have not received a satisfactory reply to this letter. I have to take my business elsewhere.
Yours faithfully,
Sarah Ashton

BUSINESS REPORT
SUMMARY
This report examine locations in Seneca, Wahalla , and Tougaloo to determine the best location for a new brand of the Riverview health club . After examining population characteristics, income levels , and the retails markets , Archway consultants concluded that Tougaloo , a rapidly growing university and research center , offered the best opportunity for a profitable operation .
INTRODUCTION
Riverview health club operates multipurpose fitness and recreational centers that appeal to an increasingly health conscious population. Since opening its first club in Tucson in 2004, Riverview has expanded its location in phoenix (2007).
All three units have proven profitable with net sales of over six million dollars in the 2004 fiscal year.
Membership has grown rapidly and the centers now operate at nearly full capacity, averaging almost six hundred members per location.
Additional moneys are derived from guest fees, special user charges, rentals, and retail equipment sales.
With annual membership dues of $ 750, Riverview health clubs appeal to an affluent population.
Statement of purpose
Mr. Anthony Pesci, President of Riverview health clubs, has authorized Archway Consultants to conduct a site survey to determine the best location for Riverview’s expansions . The three alternatives are 1.) A converted warehouse in Seneca. 2.) A construction site in Walhalla, and 3.) A shopping mall in Tougaloo.
METHOD
Archway consultants investigated each location by three criteria :
1. Population
2. Retail market
3. Facilities
Each location was studied to determine income levels of the population and potential growth trends.
Archway also interviewed local developers, retailers, and chamber of commerce official to gain a senses of the business climate in each area .
48
Business Correspondence for Tourism & Hospitality
SCOPE
This report confines its investigation to parameters defined by Riverview health clubs. Alternative construction sites are available at each location, but are reviewed here. The criteria established were deemed to be the most applicable. but other factor such as the relative age of the population may also influence the choice of location .
POPULATION
SENECA
The largest of the three cities, Seneca has a population of 143,672. Since the 1997s its population has been stable. The median income is a relatively high
$29,567, but only a small percentage of its population (2.5) falls in the upper income bracket .
WAlLHALLA
The population has experienced steady growth, but the metropolitan population of 133,876 is significantly smaller that Seneca’s. Of all three sites Walhalla has the highest median income ($30,103), and a significant percentage of its population is affluent , 4,5% earn over $40,000 annually .
TOUGALOO
Though its currently has the smallest population, Tougaloo has experienced rapid growth in the past twenty years. The population has nearly doubled since 1998 and now numbers 131,875. The median income of $29,350 is competitive with both Seneca and Walhalla . Almost 11% of its population listed in the highest income bracket, reflecting the significant number of professionals who have moved to the area recently for research park and state university complex .

SENECA
Retail sales have been in a prolonged slump, reflecting national economic trends . Ms. Felice Gonzales , director of the chamber of commerce, described local business conditions as “ generally flat “ , the principal employer , Dedmon industries , has been phasing out its operation and transferring its
49
Business Correspondence for Tourism & Hospitality administrative personnel . Data indicated that a large percentage of disposable income is spent on the home, food and transportation rather than on recreation or entertainment.
WALHALLA
The economic situation is stable. Retail sales have remained level for several years even as the national economy depressed. A significant proportion of the population at the upper income levels traditionally spends significantly on entertainment and recreation. Walhalla is a banking and financial center, and these institutions have proven to be secure, experiencing steady limited growth of the white collar population.
TOUGALOO
Once an agricultural market tow, Tougaloo has the makings of a “booming post-industrial center “state university campus established in 1985 has expanded rapidly 10 18,500 students . A state-subsidized research park was opened in 1991 which has succeeded in attracting a mix of electronic and pharmaceutical firms including Fuchs electronics, Ariel computers and Shirata chemicals. The university and research park are drawing to the area a large and well-paid professionals population. Median income, though slightly below Seneca and Walhalla is rising dramatically and this trend should continue. Data suggest that the Tougaloo population spends a large percentage of its disposable income on recreation and entertainment. FACILITIES
Seneca
A refurbished warehouse is available downtown on south street. The building offers 15,000 square feet of floor space, sufficient for offices, fitness center and exercise and locker rooms. Rental should be approximately $ 8 per square foot or $ 120,000 annually. A two-year lease is available. The building would require major renovation. Another problem is the lack of parking space as only a nearby municipal lot, which charges $ 50 per hour, could handle the expected flow of traffic. The downtown location would appeal strongly to office workers and commuters but would be less attractive to suburbanites.
Walhalla
The site is currently an open lot located on route 17, a major thoroughfare. The building could be designed to Riverview’s specifications, but current construction costs of $ 50 per square foot would require large cash outlay. Conveniently located near an exit to the 1-90 beltways, the site offers easy access to major subdivisions and retail and office complexes. It is situated on the town’s north side which is the area of great suburban growth.
50
Business Correspondence for Tourism & Hospitality
Tougaloo
The site is a major shopping mall now under construction. The building currently has 41,000 square feet of unrented space, and mr.sam wood fine, sales agent for best worth developers, has stated that he would work with Riverview in designing facilities. Rentals should be $9 per square foot. The mail has already received commitment from a major luxury department story heyman’s as well as several dry good franchises that cater to an affluent clientele. The mall is located at the intersection of interstate 15 and rout
301. A development of 300 “luxury town houses” is now under construction three miles from the mall.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Archway consultants recommend that Riverview health clubs open the new branch in Tugaloo. It best meets the requirements of population, facilities, and retail market.
Seneca
The city offers a large population base, but its economy is stagnant. Few data indicate that the trends will improve. This site is inconvenient to Riverview’s consumer market and the facility has shortcomings, especially with parking.
Walhalla
The site is an attractive choice with a stable population and sound economic base. The area is currently the most affluent of three alternatives developing the Walhalla site, however, will require substantial development costs.
Toulagoo
Thought smallest in population, Toulagoo offers the greatest opportunity for growth. The trend indicates rapid expansion of the local economy with an affluent, active population. The mall site can be tailored to fit Riverview’s needs a minimal cost. For these reasons archway consultants strongly recommends that the new Riverview health club be located in the Tugaloo mall.
NOTES
1. Archway consultants recommend that Riverview health clubs consider a survey of its members to draw a more detailed statistical profile of its potential consumer market.

Can you live on your own without talking to any one for just one day!? Can you imagine how our lives without talking to people? Of course it is very difficult because communication with other people is very important in our daily lives, so the person can’t live alone without communicating with his family, friends and other members of the society. No one can know what you think about if you do not tell and explain what is inside your mind. The person who can communicate effectively and correctly is a successful person and can achieve his goals in an easy way. That means our success depends on our ability to communicate effectively.
