Dear Paul,

I'm sorry to bother you, but I read your email to Francis, in 1 ...................... you explained that you hadn't understood much of his presentation either. I didn't understand a thing.

Perhaps you have heard back from Francis in the meantime, and he has given you some explanations or even 3 ......................, sent you his slides. 4 ......................

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the next seminar. I am also hoping that the speaker will not have such a strong Glaswegian accent.

Best regards

Dear Bill,

Thank you for putting me in 9 ...................... with your builder, Mr. Tiles. He came last week to give us a quote, which we received in record time.

I wanted to ask you where you 11 ...................... your sanitary ware. You said it was a very high quality at knock-down prices. I think you mentioned ordering it off the web from a very efficient German supplier. 12 ...................... .

Dear all,

I wanted to warn you about a scam which is doing the 13 ...................... in the States.

This concerns a 'phishing' email purporting to be from the electricity supplier Selectric, which claims that a recent automatic payment has failed, and then urges the recipient to click on a link to access their "client space" and make yet another payment.

The email carries the Selectric logo and, other than the wording of the warning about the supposed payment failure, is a word-for-word copy of a standard monthly 14 ...................... advice. However, if you look carefully, you will see that the email address from which the email is sent is not identical to the usual one. This is what aroused our suspicions in the first place.

After 15 ...................... our bank account and finding that the monthly payment had left our account as normal, we thought it would be helpful to put you on your guard.

16 ......................
