Source Evidence
Text references
Engineer A orders the CD-ROM and begins to offer facilities design and construction services.
Engineers today cannot afford to pass up a single job that comes by - including construction projects that may be new or unfamiliar.
Now - - thanks to a revolutionary new CD-ROM - specifying, designing and costing out any construction project is as easy as pointing and clicking your mouse - no matter your design experience.
Simply sign and return this letter today and you'll be among the first engineers to see how this full-featured interactive library of standard design can help you work faster than ever and increase your firm's profits.
