account department. Shall I phone him?

manager and ask him to call me back.

– And these (to be) the tables he wanted to see.

Tell him I (to be) ready to discuss any questions he has.

and their chances and ours to win this tender (to be) equal.

some problems with Tax Inspection so they have no chances.

like to have dealt with a company which has such problems.

I don’t know if they (to be) successful; however, they

will certainly try.

– Unfortunately, the reality (to be) completely different. Hardly

they proceeded with their work. I (to be) sure they

will certainly try.

Exercise №2.4

«Good afternoon! We regret to inform you that we (to be) not at all satisfied with your service. You can imagine our disappointment when we discovered that the quality of the received goods was worse than we expected. We tried to get in touch with you by phone but didn’t get anyone who knew anything about how this matter could be solved. We (to be) interested to know if you can offer any explanation for this poor quality of your goods».
