Select the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!

This letter is an invitation to a meeting for people who own stock in the Delavigne company.

This is a true statement. Bruno begins his letter with the formula "It is my pleasure to remind you..." which is a variation of the standard formula for beginning a letter of invitation: "It is my pleasure to invite you..." In this case, however, it is implied that the people to whom the letter is addressed already know about this event. Bruno then says that all shareholders, or people who own stock in a company, are "invited to attend" this meeting.

Only those who own a large amount of shares are invited to come to the meeting.

This is a false statement. Bruno writes that "all shareholders, big and small" are invited to attend, or come to, the meeting. All shareholders, whether they own many shares or few, are invited to attend this meeting.

A ball will follow the reception.

This is a false statement. In his "PS", Bruno writes that the Delavigne ballroom is "simply a large room", and that they "rarely if ever" dance in it. In other words, he is warning the guests that no, there will not be a ball! A "ball" is a formal dance in this context.

If a shareholder can't attend this meeting, they can give another shareholder voting power (with written authorization).

This is a true statement. Bruno writes that a form is attached to this letter. This form allows anyone who cannot come to the meeting to vote "by proxy". This means that a shareholder can sign a form that gives someone else (another shareholder) the right to vote for them if they are absent. This person is called "a proxy", and votes in accordance with the original shareholder's wishes.

Excerpt: It is my pleasure to remind you of our upcoming quarterly shareholders' meeting, which will take place on Friday January 11th.
...If you cannot attend, you will find a form attached which you may fill out and return if you wish to vote by proxy.
