arrow. Push the "Ticket" button, take the
ticket and your change. 2) If you have a pass and would like to add money
to it, insert the pass into the machine. The window
will indicate the value of the pass. Insert money until
you have added the desired amount. Then push the "Ticket"

Dear Ms. Nguyen:
I met with Lori Uzark last week in San Francisco
and she suggested that I contact you. I recently
completed a master's degree in business administration
here in Los Angeles. I received a job offer from
an investment banking firm in my home city of
Seoul, Korea. I was ready to return to Korea when
I had the good fortune of seeing Lori.
We had lunch and she told me about
the exciting work that you and your group are
doing. Lori and I met during my first year of
business school when we developed a proposal and
feasibility study for electronic education offering
investment seminars, workshops and classes. We
received quite a bit of interest in the proposal.
After speaking with Lori, I knew
that I had to speak with you. She mentioned that
you are hiring staff. As I mentioned, I have a
job offer, but because I am so interested in the
work that you are doing, I would like to explore
opportunities. I would like to invite you to dinner
or to arrange a meeting at your convenience. I
will give you a call next week to see if we can
arrange something.
Sincerely,
Sun Hee Kang
