Content Hi, Chad,

After the Christmas season the department had a slow start. The department picked up sales for the rest of the quarter, and just missed the quarterly average for receiving our bonuses. I believe next quarter will be more successful than the past one. If anyone in the department has any questions regarding our goals feel free to email me and I will be more than happy to be of any assistance. To my fellow coworkers,

I wanted to thank everyone for working extremely hard this quarter. We as a company have already seen a dramatic increase in profit and sales. Corporate has been monitoring our sales, and as of now we just missed the margin for making bonus this quarter. We as a company were a little slow after Christmas. As spring approaches sales will increase, but remember it takes all of us as a team to pull together. I believe with confidence that our team can surpass our goal next quarter. Hi Sarah,

I hear that Europe is an exceptional place to spend a vacation at this time of year. As of this point of time I am unable to book the flight that we had planned earlier. If it is not too much of a problem can we try to reschedule for maybe the later part of the year?
