Hi Adrian,
Paragraph 1
I thought I’d send you a quick email now because I won’t have a lot of free time until
after the conference. Also, there’s a problem with the internet access here in the hotel.
There’s wi-fi in some places but I don’t think I’ve got it in my room. Anyway, I’m
online now, so I hope I can send this before we lose the connection.
Paragraph 2
My flight was good and there were no problems. It was a bit boring, but I never really
enjoy travelling anyway. When I arrived in Singapore, it was quite hot and I went
straight to the hotel.
Paragraph 3
If you want to phone me, I’ll text you the number of the direct line to my room, but
remember we’re about eight hours ahead here.
Paragraph 4
The conference should be interesting. They sent us a lot of information about all the
talks that people are giving. I started reading it on the plane but then a good film came
on – it was the new one with Colin Firth and you know what a good actor I think he is.
Paragraph 5
Sorry, but I have to go now. I’ve just had a text telling me they’re waiting for me
downstairs for lunch.
Hope all is well at home,
Lucy

I’d like to talk to you about our new product range: Out of this World.
It is a new range of beauty products that uses materials from our sister planet, Erathe.
I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about it. For example, the air and water there are twenty
times cleaner and fresher than here on Earth. I have been lucky enough to go there
myself and I can tell you that it is amazing.
The seas and rivers are all green, not blue like ours. The sand on the beaches is pink
and the grass is purple and blue.
I have brought some of the products with me for you to try. As you are all going to sell
the whole range, it’s important for you to feel, smell and yes, even taste them. Once
you try these creams and treatments, you will want not just to sell them, but also to buy
and use them at home. You will benefit from our secret recipes.
Yes, they are secret and they will stay that way. As a result, the range is more
expensive than others. Because of this, you must let your customers try the products
before you talk about the cost. That way, they will want what you are offering them.
