Woman: Hello. This is Alison in Head Office.

Man: Oh, hello.

Woman: The CEO has asked me to contact you about the memo you sent everyone yesterday ... where you asked for comments on the bid you've just put together - for Stratford Electronics.

Man: Oh, right.

Woman: Well he's very happy with it on the whole, but does think the introduction is rather lengthy and includes more statistics than are necessary.

Man: No problem, I can shorten it easily.

Woman: And most of the contents of the actual bid are fine, but you do refer to the annual report which won't be out until May.

Man: Oh, right... I'll get rid of that.., yes. And I was thinking there's enough with the section on the existing contracts we have, so I could take out the stuff on the new contracts ... the ones we're about to start.

Woman: In fact, he specifically said that he thought mentioning them was a very good selling point.

Man: OK.

Woman: And he'd like you to have something in your concluding remarks about the growth in overseas sales, not just the stuff on domestic markets.

Man: Yes, I was wondering about that.

Woman: And that's all really. Easy to adjust I think.

Man: OK, well thank the CEO for looking at it. It's very helpful.
