Hi Roger,

I’m sure your schedule is very busy, so this email is simply to remind you of our upcoming interview with Tamara Rosen, who is a candidate for the lab manager position.

The interview will be at 4:00pm on Tuesday, July 2, in my office.

Please let me know if there’s anything I can help you with to prepare to interview this candidate.

Best,
Sophia Capella

Hello. I've been looking at the photo gallery of your online home buyer's ad. Congratulations on trying to sell your home without a real estate agent. It is difficult (we have done it twice) but is worth the effort if you find a reasonable buyer. My sister is interested in buying a home in your region. Your home could be ideal if you are willing to negotiate the price. Your asking price is about $10,000 above her budget. She also wants to live near an elementary school and a bus route. I'm not sure if your home is near these amenities. Could you let me know about these details? Most importantly, are you open to negotiation on the price? Please let me know when the house would be available for viewing.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Taryn Kent
