make or do

to make a bid
to do your best
to make the cheque out
to make some of our workers redundant
There's rumour going round that Pelly's are going to make a bid for Squash International.  Please do your best to get these typed before 5 o'clock.  Who shall I make the cheque out to? If we don't get some orders soon we'll have to make some of our workers redundant.
to redundant
to lay off
to fire
I'm afraid you'll have to do without the other photocopier until we can get the part we need from the suppliers.
