Approval Notice of Reduced Working Hours of Employee

Dear Employee,

I have received your request for reduced working hours last May 21, 2010. Your current working hours are 48 hours per week, Monday to Saturday.

I have discussed the matter thoroughly with the manager and we have come to an agreement that your new working hours would be 40 hours per week and spread out into 8 hours from Monday to Friday. You are still entitled to all employment benefits of a 40-hour week employee. However, your pay grade will be less than the previous amount as we will be deducting the reduced hours from your salary. With your request approved, a new contract of employment will be issued.

If you have further questions about your employment status, please visit me in my office.

Regards,
HR Officer

Letter Declining to be the Maid of Honor at Bestfriend's Wedding

Dear Talullah,

I got your letter. I am surprised and flattered. But unfortunately I have to decline. Of course, I want to be there for you on your wedding day.

And I will be.

But I cannot possibly take on that important role of being your Maid of Honor. It is a huge responsibility, and I may not be the right person for the job considering my circumstances with my work and my family at the moment.

I am not the kind to turn away friends, especially someone so dear. We have been so close for a good number of years. But I have a lot of work conflicts for the next six months that won't allow me to be flexible with my time. To be honest, it would be foolish for me to accept such a huge role and then disappoint you mid-way because I am in some out-of-town conference for weeks and I can't be there when you need me.

I would like to suggest that Millie take the reigns on this one. She would love it and more importantly, she is a very dependable friend.

I hope you understand, dear.

Love,
Lizzie

Thanking the Travel Agent after the Wedding

Dear Maggie,

We just want to thank you for your guidance while we were researching on our honeymoon itinerary. You were really spot on, we're so glad we took your travel advice and booked with your agency.

We are now filled with the beautiful spirit of Krakatoa and the sunny memories of this archipelago. We are very grateful you steered us in the right direction and we absolutely loved our accommodations. It was the best tropical destination for us newlyweds. We could not imagine a better, more romantic getaway!

Mathilde & Rudy

Notice to Employees about Drugs in the Workplace

Dear Employees,

COMPANY A is committed to providing a safe, healthy and drug-free working environment and wants to take this opportunity to remind employees about the importance of working drug free for their safety and that of their co-workers.

Some of the potential risks and hazards of workplace alcohol and drug use are obvious, particularly those related to safety. Alcohol and drug use can seriously impair judgment and coordination, which can lead to workplace accidents, injuries and even death. And a person does not need to be an alcoholic or drug addict to create safety hazards.

Workplace alcohol and drug use can weaken an organization’s ability to operate profitably and productively. It is also associated with lower levels of employee morale—not only that of employees struggling with alcohol or drug problems, but also those who work alongside them.

Key to preventing these problems is for all employees to understand that there is help for those struggling with alcohol and drug problems. If you (or someone you know within the office) are struggling to work drug free, you may get in touch with our Human Resources officer.

We will provide confidential, short-term counseling and referral services as a benefit to our employees. It is better that you come forward this early so we can assist you in getting a treatment plan.

Best Regards,
Human Resources Manager

School Notice to Parents about Flu Virus

Dear Parents:

Our health officials, in cooperation with the Department of Public Health, have declared that the pandemic flu is under control. Students are now allowed to return to our school on June 13, 2010.

Even though students may return to class, there are still some people who are sick from the flu virus. Health officials say that pandemic flu outbreaks sometimes happen in waves. This means more people could become sick again. If more people get sick, students may need to be dismissed from school. We will continue to provide you with any important information.

Because the flu can still be spread from person to person, please keep sick children at home. Do not send them to school.

We are looking forward to seeing your children again.

Sincerely,
Principal Victoria

Your paycheck for the month of July (paid on August 1, 2010) will reflect your first increase.

Thanking the Parents for Paying for the Wedding

Dear Mama and Papa,

We can't thank you enough for your grand gesture to pay for the wedding. We are both thrilled and grateful. We feel very blessed to have your love, and we are lucky, as many of our dear friends didn't have the good fortune of planning with their parents. You are truly great role models for the life we're building together now.

Now we can't get over the excitement of planning our wedding!

All our love,
Shelley and Marlowe
