Man: Hello Monica. It’s Kevin Warren here. I got your proposal for the publicity campaign and I’ve finally managed to get a look at it. It seems OK, and the time schedule looks acceptable as well, but there could still be one or two minor problems with it, I’m afraid. I’ve got a couple of suggestions, which I’ll get off to you today. Let me know what you think, OK? Bye.

Man: Hi, Susan. It’s Christine Howe. I’m ringing to talk about our appointment next month. As you know, we’ve agreed to meet on 18th. Well, I’m afraid it’s not going to work out owing to some contingencies in the company. Could we put it off till the end of next month, say, 28th? Give me a ring and let me know. Thanks.

Woman: Hi Susan. It’s Sophie. I’m on my mobile because I’m travelling to a meeting with a client, but I need to talk to you urgently, so could you call me on 0456 664 239? It’s my mobile number. The client I’m going to meet has agreed to place a substantial order with us, but he asks if we could give him an exceptional discount of 25%. So I need to know whether it is all right if just go ahead and sign the contract with him. Could you get back to me ASAP? Thanks.

Woman: Hell, Linda. This is Andre Schilde here. I’m ringing to tell you that the head of our department was too difficult to work with. He didn’t know how to motivate staff. The atmosphere in the office was really bad. He was very rude to customers and colleagues. We had lots of complaints about his behaviour. What’s even worse, he didn’t support his staff at all, and he blamed everyone else for problems. Call me, thanks.
