## Your job

## How you work
1. Read the whole task and every file it links before you start.

3. Do the work on your own computer, in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office software, Microsoft Outlook and Adobe Acrobat.

Maria Gupta · Character

How it sounds and decides

The character file sets the agent's voice. Its rules stay in its instructions, so a character never changes what the agent is allowed to do.
