Bruce [1:40 P.M.]: Just finished the walkthrough with Boxwell. All sixteen lockers are in place now.
Rhonda [1:41 P.M.]: That's good news. Are they ready for the launch?
Bruce [1:43 P.M.]: Almost. Each one's got chilled compartments, so the produce and frozen items stay cold until shoppers pick up the orders they placed on our store's website. There's a touchscreen keypad on the front for the pickup code too.
Rhonda [1:44 P.M.]: Sounds set. So what's still missing?
Bruce [1:45 P.M.]: Boxwell needs to finish the final setup. I'm due over at the other site all afternoon, though. Could you send them the setup and access instructions? They can't wire everything up without them.
Rhonda [1:47 P.M.]: No problem. I'll forward the whole file to them right away.

Subject: New employee orientation
Date: Monday, March 3
Hi Philip,
I am finalizing the arrangements for next week's new employee orientation. I will prepare the name badges and sign-in sheet myself, and Marcia Webb is reserving the meeting room. Could you put together the handout packets? Since we ran a similar session last spring, there's no need to reinvent everything—last year's folder is on the shared drive. Most of the content is still accurate, though the benefits section will need a quick update. Please have the packets finished by Friday, March 7.
Thanks,
Yvonne
