I will be departing from Seattle International at 0830,
Monday March 23, 2002 for Tokyo, Japan to participate
in the said Program. I will be visiting Toyota and
Panasonic over an 11-day period. Please familiarize
yourself with these companies and forward your detailed
questions about the processes and operations to me by
March 10th so I can compile and organize them prior to
my trip. A debrief will be held on April 12th at 1400 to
review all aspects and learning from the trip.
Sincerely, John M. Bluestein

Gang! I did it! I was picked for the Japan program.
Wish you could all go with me; we'd have a great time.
I'll be leaving at the end of March and be gone for 2
weeks. Wish me luck!
Alex
P.S. If you want me to ask them anything while I am
there, send me the stuff before I go.

Subject: Your upcoming visit
Dear Janice
I am so pleased you are coming out. It will be a great chance
for us to know each other better and for me to really
understand what I can do to help you in your business. I'll
pick you up at the airport when you arrive (you don't want to
fight our traffic and goofy one-way streets) and I've booked
you into a great little inn by the water. They have great
service and the view of the water and mountains is
spectacular. Looking forward to seeing you.
P.S. Of course we'll have you to our house the first night to
meet the family. Any favorite dishes we can cook up for you?
