Golf Club’s recent notification about my

membership, which is soon set to expire I

will not be renewing my membership as I

have been greatly disappointed with your

golf club You requested that I pay $50 to

renew my membership This is a sudden

change from last year’s policy, which

specified that members pay only 10% of

their membership price for renewal

Not only am I surprised at this unexplained

poor course maintenance The greens have

not been properly maintained and have

Ông Hawkins, Tôi viết thư này để trả lời thông báo gần đây của câu lạc bộ Summerton Golf về thẻ hội viên của viên của tôi,

nó sắp hết hạn Tôi sẽ không gia hạn thẻ hội viên của tôi vì tôi đã rất thất vọng với câu lạc bộ golf của bạn

Bạn đã yêu cầu tôi trả 50 Đô la Mỹ để gia hạn thẻ hội viên Đó là sự thay đổi đột ngột trong chính sách của năm vừa qua, theo lý thuyết thì các thành viên chỉ phải trả 10% của giá thẻ thành viên

created a terrible golfing experience

I am also dismayed at the shortened hours,

which is disadvantageous to working people

like myself

I can assure you that I won’t be returning to

the Summerton Golf Club unless these

matters are resolved

Sincerely,

Evelyn Nichols

của họ cho việc gia hạn

Không chỉ tôi ngạc nhiên về sự tăng giá không được giải thích này, nhưng tôi cũng đang bối rối về việc bảo trì sân golf kém Lớp cỏ không được bảo trì thích hợp và tạo ra trải nghiệm chơi gold tồi tệ

Tôi cũng bị mất tinh thần trong vài giờ ngắn ngủi, điều bất lợi cho những người làm việc như tôi

Tôi có thể cam đoan với bạn rằng tôi

sẽ không quay trở lại câu lạc bộ Summerton Golf trừ khi những vấn đề

đó được giải quyết

Thân ái, Evelyn Nichols

Monthly rent and overhead expenses are estimated at

$7,000, labor at $8,000, and other operational costs at

$2,000, for a net profit of $5,000 Start-up costs are estimated at $220,000 and the club will break even in around 42 months

of those who went last year, we’ve increased the number to sixteen As previous years have shown an enthusiastic response, due to the increase in the

number of people that can go, we are expecting even

more (usually over twenty apply) Also, although the

budget for employee training has been increased this

year, participants must cover 1/3 of all travel costs

themselves which is better than last year (participants

had to cover 1/2 the cost) However, all conference
