Bonus Announcement
From,John Smith,general manager
Sent,Friday,February 14,2003,5:30 PM
To,William Black
Subject,Your 2002 Bonus
Mr,Black,
Firstly,let me apologize for not being able to pay this bonus prior to Chinese
New Year as I had wanted,Unfortunately it took me longer to receive the 2002
Revenue report than I would have liked,In 2002,we only hit 68% of our order
target,but because we hit 149% of our service target,your satisfactory 2002
performance entitles you to a bonus,which will be equivalent to almost 95% of
your monthly salary,This just goes to show how important the overall service
revenue and individual job performance are to all of us.
Thanks for your effort in 2002,and I look forward to us achieving our services
target again,but also reaching our goal for orders in the coming year.
Your 2002 bonus will be paid in the February pay period,Congratulations!
Regards,
Smith
