Head of the personnel, Mr. Awfy, disliked you at the very first moment and is eager to cut your salary at the earliest convenience. 
It's your first day in the office. You know that Mr. Awfy will give you lots of tasks to sort out in order to check your endurance. Show your best qualities (and knowledge) and prove that you are worth every cent of your salary. Otherwise... Mr. Awfy will reconsider your salary after each task you have completed. The initial agreed sum is B400 (bells, the national currency). 
1. Here is what you found on your work desk at 9 a.m. Hi, Hope you are fine on your first work day. Let's see what you are fit for. Here are some of the useful contacts I've brought from the Berlin Exhibition. Please, file the addresses in the appropriate manner for our database. I presume it's a 10-minute job. Luck, Stewart Awfy. 
2.
Hi, Here is another challenge for you. Before doing something really serious, I have to make sure you won't spoil the job. How would you write these dates in a letter in block style?
3.
Hi, We are going to create electronic templates for our business letters. Please, supply the correct missing openings (salutations) and closings.
