Interview 1
From John Cole, Senior Partner
To Lawyers
Re Andy Gooding
Andy Gooding from WiseWorld Bridges, a well known non-governmental organisation, has made an appointment. He says he has received a statutory demand from an employment agency. I have advised WiseWorld Bridges before on a couple of occasions in connection with property issues but this sounds more up your street than mine. I have never met Andy and the only contact detail I have is his email address (agooding@wiseworldbridges.org.uk). As part of our corporate social responsibility initiatives, I have indicated that we would provide some free advice for 30 minutes. If you need to take it any further, come back to me and we will sort something out.
Interview 2
From Secretary:
To Solicitors
Re Nicky Gray
Nicky Gray from Construction Works UK Limited wants some advice about tendering for public contracts. S/he is not an existing client of the firm. She left her work number 01245-590000.
Interview 3
From Secretary
To Solicitors
Re Sarah/Sam Barnett
The only information Sarah/ Sam Barnett left was that s/he needed to talk to you urgently about her/his job (and her mobile number 07986088704). S/he is not an existing client of the firm. We have also done a conflict check and we have not acted for her/his employer, Doodah UK. I did a quick google on Doodah and they seem to be involved with sat nav products.
