MEMO

To: Caleb Bevan

CC: Anthony Palmer

From: Ryan S.

Re: Purchase order

Date: March 10, 2011

 

Caleb,

 

I'd like you to sort out this purchase order that was prepared by Andrew Garcia before he left. We've been having a hard time collecting payment on this, and I was hoping you could look into it. The bill was made out to a Mike Wallace at Blue Raven Construction, and the shipment was addressed to a Jeb Evans in the Purchasing Department. This was the first order we've received from Blue Raven, and they have yet to settle the invoice. Andrew wasn't able to locate either individual when he called, and unfortunately, he got very sick before he could really follow things up. Try to talk to someone who works in the finance or accounts department, or anyone who deals with paying bills there. Let them know we'll be taking legal action if they don't pay up by April 1st. You can talk to Anthony Palmer in the legal department if you have any questions - he knows all about the matter.

 

Thanks.
