If I'm traveling by train, then I have to look into train passes or tickets. I also need to locate hotel accommodations. Fortunately, I don't mind staying at a cheap hotel or a motel. Finally, I try to plan money for meals and other sightseeing expenses. If I plan carefully, I usually have a good time. 1

Dear Mr. Johnson,
I am writing in reference to the company's marketing report of the first half year I received. According to the report, in recent months our product sales have decreased 20%, with some areas even down by 50%. It may due to the lack of media presence.
In the view of above, a department-manager meeting will be held next Monday morning. The marketing department is required to propose specific improving measures, so as to raise the product sales.
Regards
Smith
