...RE: Name Violation Date XXX Initial Fine Amount: $XXX Current Fine Amount: $XXX Your Honor, Thank you for your consideration with respect to my request to waive any additional fees applied to the above fine or the entire fine. I received a Notice of Infraction issued May 16, 2012 (attached) to which I submitted the Hearing Request Form. Four months later, a Delinquent Notice of Infraction issued December 24, 2012 (attached) was then received by me. When I received the Delinquent Notice I again responded, this time by calling the Photo Enforcement Program to inquire about the hearing date. I was told by the agent that a hearing date was mailed out to me shortly after my request form was received in July. When I was informed by the agent that the hearing date had passed, I asked if I was still able to dispute the fine being that I did not receive the hearing date in the mail. After taking the time to look into this for me the agent advised that I did not have any recourse because it was too late (November) and now must pay the fine. I believe I could pay $XX at that time to which I was told was not possible because no partial payments would be accepted, you must pay the fine in full. After looking at the Delinquent Notice which states to pay immediately and mentions collections, I asked if any interest would be added or if anything would happen if I could not pay in full at that time. The agent told me that nothing would happen, the only thing would be that...

...Law Assignment 1 Portfolio Dear Mr. & Mrs. Stewart, You have asked our law firm for advice as to whether you are legally responsible for an intoxicated minor’s death, which occurred at a party at your residence near Hollywood, and alcohol was served. After reviewing the facts, you could be found free of any legal punishment by law. Although an entrance fee was required for some guests, in effect making them customers, not all guests were charged the entrance fee. Based on the facts of the case, the deceased minor did not pay an entrance fee. It would require the deceased minor’s representation to prove that you are liable in the death of the minor through the sale of alcohol on your premises or consumption. But, noting there is little to no evidence of such a sale, it would be nearly impossible to prove. The deceased minor’s representation will have to provide proof that the minor consumed alcohol at your residence as or had access to it as a customer and not a guest. The minor appeared to be intoxicated prior to the party and there is also no proof as to who provided the alcohol that the deceased may not have consumed. Your son and his fraternity threw a party at a private residence near Hollywood, CA. Members of Theta Kappa Sigma sorority were invited as guests. The party was a free social event at which alcohol would be provided. Guests arrived to the house at around 10:00pm, and by 11:00pm, the small gathering had increased drastically in size. There was not...

...Legal advice for Mr John Smith 5th of December 2012 Dear Mr Smith, Thank you for your phone call last week requesting a legal advice. In this letter, I will provide you with my legal opinion concerning the facts you gave to me so you can make a qualified decision regarding the charges you face. First I will restate the facts, as I know them, to confirm their accuracy. Next, I will give you my opinion on whether a conviction for insider dealing is a potentiality. In your phone call you said, that you have received a call from City of London Police who wanted you to come in for an interview under caution due to evidence stating that you have been insider dealing. Regarding the facts of the case you explain, that you work for Stevens Management buying and selling orders and your wife works in the financial department in Transeit, a company which has been taken over by Microsoft. Before the offer from Microsoft became public the shares in Transeit shot up in value. According to the claim from the police exactly three days before the offer became public you excluded a sale of 500 Transeit shares. What makes your situation problematic is the fact that you had access to confidential information about the offer before it was made public due to your wife’s work. Whether you excluded the shares in your own name or in the name of the company your work for may also be relevant to the case. Due to the facts you have presented me it seem that the police have a strong case against you....

...frequently. And to change paper size from 8.5 x 11 in. to legal-size, the user had to remove one paper tray containing 8.5 x 11 in. paper and replace it with a tray containing legal-size paper. Newer machines had two trays, one for each paper size, that permitted changing paper size at the push of a button without changing paper trays. John Richards, the company’s purchasing agent, thought this would be a labor-saving feature and decided to include it in a specification for purchase of new machines. The copying machine industry called this feature, “dual-cassette” design. The Business Company issued an invitation for bids for purchase and maintenance of 20 replacement machines. The solicitation included a specification that called for a machine that would permit “copying both 8.5 x 11 in. and legal-size paper without manually changing the paper trays.” The term dual cassette did not appear in the specification. John received bids from several companies, including Copies Incorporated, a reputable manufacturer. Copiers had greeted the invitation for bids with great pleasure. Their inventory included 30 of their Model 125 copying machines, which they were phasing out. The Model 125 had only one tray, which held 8.5 x 11 in. and legal-size paper, but legal-size paper could be copied without removing the 8.5 x 11 in. tray. After pushing a button, the user could make legal-size copies by manually feeding single, blank legal-size paper into the machine, sheet by sheet. If operated...

The organization of this manual is a logic sequence of chapters including both business communication and correspondence. The first part is dedicated to business communication and the second to business correspondence. The special features found in this edition are: 1. Examples of effective letter writing. Studies have shown students studying written business communication can learn as much, if not more, from ineffective examples of written communication as they do from effective examples. 2.

...Transmittal letters often accompany reports and inform readers of a report's context. Typically, the letter includes information not found in the report. For example, the letter contains information about the particular project and/or due dates. A Transmittal Letter is a business letter and should be formatted accordingly; that is, you should include the recipient's address, your address, a salutation and closing. Depending on the project, you may also need to include contact information. Always check with your instructor to determine whether or not you should attach a transmittal letter to your report. In Finance, a Letter of Transmittal is a document used by a security holder to accompany certificates surrendered in an exchange or other corporate action. A Letter of Transmittal may also be a distribution list with the recipients of a memo, report or contract. A transmittal letter accompanies a document and explains what the document is, why it should receive the reader's consideration, and what the reader should do with it. A transmittal or cover letter accompanies a larger item, usually a document. The transmittal letter provides the recipient with a specific context in which to place the larger document and simultaneously gives the sender a permanent record of having sent the material. Transmittal letters are usually brief. The first paragraph describes what is being sent and the purpose for sending it. A longer transmittal letter may summarize key elements...

Read Sections 5.6 through 5.10 in Chapter 5 – Evaluating a Single Project and Sections 13.1 through 13.4 in Chapter 13 – The Capital Budgeting Process from the course textbook.

[pic][pic] Variously missing from their letters are headings, dates, inside addresses, salutations and complimentary closings. And the forms are disheveled. Frankly, in terms of form, often I am unable to distinguish any discernible differences between letters written by students, their teachers and by many other professionals. Apparently, for many, the art of writing a standard business letter has been lost. What are considered essential elements for a standard business letter. Know the format. Whatever the content of your letter, visually it should resemble the picture below.
