‡@Last October Mr. S, sales man of the body, came to the company and it later sent the contract.
‡AAt the beginning of November, an Email from Mr. S came. It told that Mr. H was assigned as an assessor and his assessment schedule. Soon the company required the assessorfs background. But it took some time.
‡BAt the end of November finally an Email that informed the background came.
But the information had no clear description of qualification of lead assessor. Then again the company requested clear evidence of the qualification.
‡CSeveral days after, its answer came. It told he had no qualification of lead assessor but soon he would get the qualification. But there was no explanation when he surely got qualification. Then again the company questioned the scheduled date of getting his qualification.
‡DAt the beginning of December Mr. S answered the question that the date was not clear. The company surprised at its remiss in observing right assessment.
‡ESeveral days after Mr. S Emailed that the assessor would become a lead assessor in January and if the company wanted change of an assessor he could do the arrangement.
