Adventurers Camping Equipment

Division Headquarters

New York, NY 10025

Dear Adventurers Camping Equipment,

I went to the Irvine store located on Harrison Street last Friday after I saw the sales ad on the paper

and was hoping to pick up some items for my summer camping trip. (I have attached the ad to verify

the validity of the sales promotion on a nationwide level.) I wanted to spend some time shopping at

your store, so I left my office early. But to my dismay, instead of a wonderful shopping experience, I

found the promotion ad not entirely valid and a poor customer service store attendant.

From the printed ad, I was led to believe that every item in the store was 20% off the regular price.

Unfortunately, I discovered that items that were on discount applied only to those that were labeled

with a "SALE" sticker in the store. In this case, not more than ten items were on sale. I thought this

contradicted to the ad published. I therefore challenged the store attendant with a copy of the ad I

had brought To my surprise, I was told that the discount on all items was not applicable to the store

on Harrison Street. I was then referred to the store manager after insisting that the ad mentioned a

nationwide sale. The manager did not bother to resolve the issue but insisted, with a very unwilling

attitude, that the ad was a mistake! I left the store fuming without a single purchase.

I have been a faithful customer of your store for a very long time, but the experience I had, along

with my encounter with the staff at the store on Harrison Street, is just not acceptable.

Questions 191-195 refer to the following review and e-mail message~_

IT'S IT Technology Reviewby Mike Vincent (mike@itsit~com)

SmartechT20l- Five-ia-acePower Device

You probably carry one or more of these devices at all times - an organizer, a phone book, a digital

camera, an MP3 player, a video recorder, a voice recorder, or a remote control. We have been

expecting a power device that has all the functions you need with maximum performance. For many

years, this was just a dream, but now this device of the future is available and affordable.

There is simply no way to compare the Tl9i with the new T2Oi~ You just cannot. The Tl9i was a

letdown for its performance, but the T2Oi is far superior. Although the T2Oi contains a wide variety

of functions (everything you expect in a mobile phone), it will live up to your expectations for its

performance. For the last 18 months, Smartech went back to basics - processing power and huge

memory. The T2Oi is not rocket science or a new invention; it is simply, plainly a power device.Featuring the latest processor with 24GHz and a huge memory of IOOGB, the T2Oi is the only

device on the market to store more than 20,000 songs or 10 or more movies. Moreover, the T2Oi will

shock the world with its size ~- its as big as your palm, and weighs no more than your business card

holder.

There is no single mobile phone on the market with a digital camera of more than 8 megapixels. The

T2Oi is the only one such device. This means high resolution pictures on a large LCD screen from

your mobile phone! Why carry another digital camera around with you? The MP3 function includes

both voice and video recording and playback, just like the media player on your computer. All five

functions you expect in the T2Oi are at maximum performance~ Unlike many current devices, which

have either a good camera or a good MP3, the T2Oi has both! The T2Oi has withstood stringentindustry tests for its reliability and performance as conducted by the National IT Standards!

One last thing to consider before you pull your credit card out from your wallet though is that this

little fantastic device will cost you a whopping $2,000.00.

Subject: Smartech T2Oi review

ToMr.Vincent,

I have beena faithful readerof "ITs IT TechnologyReview"everyweek, and I want to voice my disagreementabout

the SmartechT2Oiprinted in your last issue~I receivedthe T2Oias a gift two monthsago~I must say it really is an

expensivegift! 1would not have boughtit for my own usagehadit not beengivento me as a gift. I think it is overpriced!

I must,however,agreethat the devicedoesquite an awful lot for its size,As a technicaluser,I still find somelimitations

of the T2Oi.The picturesI took were fantasticallyclear and crisp with its 8 megapixels,However,it does not have the

anti-shakefeaturewhichis presentin moststandarddigitalcameras,I am not able to takeany picturesas long as I am

in motion,and I meaneven the slightestmovement,The cableconnectioninterfaceto the computeris reallyunstable,

! was trying to connectmy T2Oifor morethan an hourjust to downloadonepicture! The connectionwas intermittent

with an unstableconnection.Forthe price you must payto get the T2Oi I wouldnot recommendbuyingit personally.

Questions 196-200 refer to the following invoice and memorandum.

To: Debbie Hu

From: lee Hao JIB

5ubject: Handheld 5canners

Debbie, I received the parcel from 5can Technology in 1 piece. The scanner model they sent is correct, andthe quantity is right. However, I discovered the cables and connectors are alI wrong. They are not suitable for

the model 8021101.

Can you do me a small favor and go through the product information website and see if the cables and

connectors are still compatible with the BO211O1 scanners7 I have no wish to unpack the cables and

connectors and try connecting them to the scanners. I believe we will have problem asking for an exchange if

the cables and connectors are not compatible. If the website suggests an incompatibility, pleasecontact

Dan IRichman,and recluest an exchange for the correct model. (er to the invoice for his email address.)

I will only use the scanners for our project once we have resolved the exchange issue. We should not proceed

unless we get confirmation on their compatibility. I am looking to resolve this in the shortest possible time

as it would be disastrous to wait for this exchange without making progress on the project.

Dear Mr.Allen

Thank you very much for your extremely generous fundraising-efforts for the "One Child's

Tomorrow" fund. The combined efforts of companies such as yours have helped to raise over

$250,000in the last nine months. We are proud to be able to direct more than 90%of the money

raised to directly feeding hungry children a hearty breakfast and running programs in our

participating schools. By keeping our opera6ng costs at a minimum and with the support of our

amazing volunteers, we will continue to expand the program to help underprivileged children.

To date, we have supported 300 schools and more than 3,000 children on a dailybasis for 8 years.

Some of our recx~pientshave graduated from high school and are well on their way to fulfilling

their dreams of becoming teachers or doctors, These children have a real chance at achieving

their hopes and dreams with the help that you and your company have provided. Our current

newsletter highlighting some of our stories will undoubtedly explain the huge difference that

your contribu6on of $5,000has made

Again, from all of us at One Child's Tomorrow and our participating partners, we thank you for

your continued support and belieP.

All the best,

Jennifer Ward, Director
