      Context: You are preparing for your first meeting with the client’s COO and Senior VP of Strategy to discuss your hypotheses for how Toys&Toys can lower costs and become more competitively priced

      1. Who is your audience?
      2. Why are you telling the story?
      3. What is your key message?

      Dear Mr. Liam, I am writing in reference to the current situation with the Dubai Airport Project. We have a number of queries which were hoping you could answer. First of all, could you please provide us with an update on where you are on the Dubai Airport Project. We would also appreciate it if you could clarify what the current issues with the delivery system are and confirm when you expect them to be resolved. Could you also please confirm whether the post-installation support covers the equipment 24 hours a day? And what is actually included in the support? In particular, we would like to have confirmation if the cost of parts and labor are included in the package? We would please require this information as soon as possible. Lastly, we are considering extending the period of the post-installation support from your company from 6 months to 12 months. We would be very grateful if you could provide us with a quote for this extension. We would really appreciate it if you could revert back to us with a response at your earliest convenience. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, John Bureetos. Airport Development Manager
