Wow, these guys must be complete morons if they can’t figure out how to use our

software. I mean, it’s kind of designed to be idiot proof. I’ll resend them the

documentation again. Maybe this time they’ll actually decide to read it.

Importance: High

Good afternoon Seth,

I hope your mother is doing better now that she’s out of the hospital. I know how horrible

it was last year when my mother had open heart surgery, so I completely understand

your needing to be with her last week.

Anyway, as per our phone conversation, our clients at Sunnydale Community College

are still having problems with their recently upgraded software. Apparently, one of the

fields in the new database management section isn’t working properly.

I appreciate your assistance on this account.

Best regards,

Hi Geraldine:

Thanks for the email follow-up last week. Overall, we’re pretty happy with the new suite

we purchased from GenWare last month. However, as mentioned in a previous

conversation, we are still having problems with one of the database cells pulling in

information from the previous database properly. As you can imagine, the last thing we

want to do is re-enter all of our records manually. Can you please help with this?
