Hello.

Is this "Bendon &Brothers"? Yes, who's speaking?

My name is Alan Headington from "Mennings

Constructions". I'd like to find out about the

progress of our issue.

Oh, Mr. Herrington...

No, Headington, as in "head".

So what was it, Mr. Headington?

Well, the contract, of course! I called you the day

before yesterday.

Ah, the contract... 1 don't have any info on that from our main office yet. Perhaps they're still working on it.

Do you think they'll be ready before this week­end?

Hello, Jason Travels, how can 1 help you? I'm calling to find out about group air tickets to Minsk, Belarus, for a conference on Chernobyl. Who is calling, may 1 ask?

My name is Kent Brown, the order was placed on my name.

All right, Mr. Brown. Your order is being proc­essed at the moment, but if you have any ques­tions on the flight itinerary, I'll be happy to pro­vide you with all the information. First of all, we're going to be eleven, not ten, as originally planned. Is that any problem for you to make this change in our order? Let me see, Mr. Brown. Now, we can put another person in, but it's going to be at the back of the plane, and we need the passenger's full name please.

Yes, of course. This is also Brown, my wife Nancy Brown.

I got it. How are you going to pay, Mr. Brown? I'm going to pay on the credit card. Could you give me the card number and the ex­piry date please?

It's 224-0045-8733561, August 3rd, 2002.

And what's your phone number please?

My number is 505-3457-7811

Let me repeat it: 505-3457-7811. I'll call you

back this afternoon, Mr. Brown. Will you be

available between 4 and 5 p.m. ?

You know, 1 was going to leave after 4 pm. Can

we make it before that if possible? Or I could call

you from downtown after 4 p.m.

That sounds good. Thank you for calling us, Mr.

Brown. Bye-bye for now.
