Introduction - Task - Resources - Process - Evaluation - Conclusion



Introduction

You have received the following email from your new American boss:
 

Hi,

I've just found out that I have to go to London next week on a business trip, so I need you to make all the arrangements for me. I want to leave early next Tuesday morning and come back on Thursday evening.
Can you do the following things for me:

- Book me a flight. I don't care which airline it's with, just try and find the cheapest flight available or is the Eurostar a more suitable option? Compare prices.

- Book me a hotel. My meetings are going to be in Kensington so try and find me a hotel there if you can. Don't pay more than 80 pounds a night.

- Find a nice restaurant for Tuesday night. I want to take my clients out for dinner. Something in or near Kensington would be ideal. Please tell me something about the restaurant you book.

- Book me 4 tickets for a show on Wednesday night. A West-End musical would be perfect. Let me know what the show's about.

Let me know the arrangements once you've made them.Studying Boy

Thanks

Frank
