Max Horner

Organic Catering Corp. attendees:Orscar Whitman (event manager)

Lorenzo Marshall (product manager)

AGENDA  
Introduction – Organic Catering Corp. service overview

Lorenzo Marshall

Sasha Kent

Partnership proposal for the Vosges gala- Event description

– Product order

Max Horner

Oscar Whitman

Final proposal and signature Sasha Kent

To: Oscar Whitman, Lorenzo Marshall

From: Emily Menkes, Black Code Agency

Subject: Next week’s meeting

Dear Oscar, dear Lorenzo,

I hope this email finds you both well. Once again, I want to tell you, in the name of Black Code Agency, how happy we are about this partnership and that I am sure we will make a good team.

Attached to this email you will find the agenda of next Tuesday’s meeting which will be held in our Manhattan offices on Lexington Avenue, since our Brooklyn headquarters are being renovated at the moment. My assistant, Joyce, will meet you downstairs at 10:30 am and walk you to our conference room. Max Horner, head of marketing, and Sasha Kent, head of public relations, will organize the meeting and present to you the Vosges Gala we are hosting next month. This is a very important event where near 950 guests are expected, including movie celebrities, models and socialites. You understand how important the buffet is here.

We would love to hear your catering proposal during the meeting, however we have there are certain conditions we would like to lay out before going any further. Some of our guests follow very strict gluten-free diets or vegan diets: it is highly important that we have enough food and drink that are convenient for them and this is precisely why we have called Organic Catering Corp. However, we do not want a separate buffet. Maybe you can suggest different colors of plates for each option (meat, fish, seafood, vegan, gluten-free, gluten, etc)? We want the food and plates to look fancy and elegant, but not over-the-top. Please keep it simple and minimalistic. The location of the event will be in Soho on February 20th. I will give you more information as soon as I can. One last thing, the Vosges Gala is a black tie event, so the waiters will need to be dressed accordingly. If you need more information, please let me know. We look forward to meeting you and working with Organic Catering Corp.

Best regards,

Emily Menkes

La partie Reading du TOEIC Listening and Reading demande de l’entraînement pour être complètement à l’aise avec des textes écrits en anglais et, qui plus est, en anglais professionnel. Une révision de la grammaire et du vocabulaire doit être à envisager en amont également pour couvrir toutes les connaissances requises par le test. Surtout, un entraînement aux épreuves dans les conditions de l’examen est le meilleur moyen de préparer sa réussite au TOEIC.
