Rob, this is Olivia calling. It's 2:30. You said you'd meet me at 1:30 in front of the restaurant. Well, I'm not going to wait any longer. And please don't bother calling me again.

2. Hi, this is Nathan from the computer store. I've been trying to repair your hard drive. but unfortunately. I'm unable to fix it. It looks like you're going to have to get a new hard drive or a new computer. Let me know when you want to come in to pick up your laptop, and I can help you decide what to do next.

3. Paul, this is Anne. It's 8 p.m., and I'm still tied up at the office. so I don't think I'll be able to join you for dinner tonight. I feel really bad about it, but we'll definitely have dinner tomorrow night. Promise! Bye.

4. This is Brandon King, from apartment 1201, calling for Kelly. I'm afraid I had a slight accident in the parking lot and did some damage to your car. I'm really sorry about it, but I'm sure that my insurance company will pay for the repairs. Please give me a call when you get in. You can reach me at 555-4026.

5. Hi, Donna. It's me. Emily! You'll never guess where I am! I'm at the airport with George and the kids. All four of us are here this time. Isn't that great? Hope you've got enough room for us! We'll be at your place by six o'clock. Don't worry about dinner. We can just send out for some pizza—our treat!

Hello, I'm calling for the Burtons. This is Mrs. Parker, from across the street. Your daughter got into my yard today and picked half my flowers. I'd say it's going to cost about $250 to replace them. Not to mention my time and effort. Call me as soon as you get this message. The number is 916-5741.
