Message:

(Narrator)You work in a camera store and a customer gives you this message.

[Female voice] I'm Brenda Garcia and I bought this camera at your store two years ago. I really like it but I dropped it last week and now I'm having trouble getting it to flash. Could you have a repairperson look at it and call me if they think it can be fixed? Also, how much will it cost to fix it? My telephone number is 699-8824.

There is a piece of primary information given that is incorrect: flashlight instead of camera.
