Ms. Aquileidy Perez Financial Manager The Daily Roll Subject: Christmas Bonuses

Dear Ms. Perez,

As you may know our company does not give out bonuses for Christmas or any other major holiday. We have felt that bonuses should be earned through hard work. Recently I received a letter from our Vice President, Mr. Avila, stating the company morale has fallen. In an effort to remedy this I have decided to give out Christmas bonuses along with making a few other non-financial changes. I would like you to allocate some funds from our research and development department for this year, and then next year we can prepare a separate account.

I know this seems a bit rushed but I know it is good for the company. I have checked in with the R & D department and taking some money out for this quarter will only cause a mere two percent drop in productivity. This would also be the greatest time to do this. It’s coming towards Christmas, all of our employees are thinking of their families and how they can provide for them. This bonus would be a perfect way to do that. It will be an effective way to increase morale and of course attract even more employees, and make the company look great with the media.

This could be one of the best things we have ever done for our employees. Mr. Avila is heading a project on how to present the bonuses to our employees; I would like you personally to handle the monetary allocation (for discretionary purposes). If you could take at least 34 percent out of the R & D department’s funding that should cover the bonuses for this year.

Thank you very much for your time. If you could get back to me as soon as possible, that would be wonderful. Have a merry Christmas.

Sincerely, Luke Smith President The Daily Roll
