It’s twice as big as our current office, and I’m sure we can use the space. And it has a kitchen, a bathroom and a reception area just like we have now.

It would also be good to be in a building with an elevator. I’m really tired of using the stairs. I’d like to see the space as soon as possible. Could you call and make an appointment? Try and get one for tomorrow if you can, because after that I’ll be away until next Monday, as you know. Thanks. Paul 13．How big is Marilyn and Paul’s current office? A．450 square feet.

To: Marilyn Sawyer From: Paul Lebowski Sent: Tuesday, October 3 Subject: Office rental Marilyn, Here’s a link to an office rental ad I found online: www.offices.com/10-01. I think it’s worth looking at even though the rent is a bit high. I know it is a good deal more than we are paying now, but look at the size. It’s twice as big as our current office, and I’m sure we can use the space. And it has a kitchen, a bathroom and a reception area just like we have now. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near a subway station. That is a convenience I would miss having, but it does have parking, unlike our current office. I’m sure our clients would appreciate that. It would also be good to be in a building with an elevator. I’m really tired of using the stairs. I’d like to see the space as soon as possible. Could you call and make an appointment? Try and get one for tomorrow if you can, because after that I’ll be away until next Monday, as you know. Thanks. Paul 13．How big is Marilyn and Paul’s current office? A．450 square feet.
