To:        Ted Van Dorn

From:    Bernadette Riley

Subject: Office space

Date:      April 10

   Ted,

I have found the solution to our office problems. I know that you have been waiting to get out of the neighborhood where our office is currently located, but that you have been apprehensive about the cost of renting in a better neighborhood. I have found an office downtown that 1 am sure we can afford. It is a bit smaller than our current space, but I think it will be big enough. The best part is, the rent is the same as we are paying now. This is due to the fact that the office is not in excellent condition. However, I think it will be easy for us to paint it and make a few small repairs. The space will be available for occupancy on the fifteenth of next month. We have the option of signing a one or two-year lease, so we won't have to lock ourselves into a long-term contract. However, ill order to get the low rent, we have to sign by the thirtieth of this month. If you are interested in this, I can arrange for you to see the space this weekend. Let me know as soon as possible.
