Dear Jason,

Due to the year-end tour for nine grade students, I would like you to arrange the schedule for the trip. Please contact people related, such as tourist destination, hotel, bus and also the participants.

I hope to receive your report before the end of this month. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Announcement

As you may know, a new state law taking effect on January 1 requires that employers provide a smoke-free workplace for their employees. In compliance with this law, after the first month of the year smoking will be prohibited at Doe Industries except during break time in designated smoking areas. We are sorry for the inconvenience that causes our employees who smoke, but we believe this will promote a cleaner and healthier working environment for everyone. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as this new policy is implemented.
