【正确答案】 November 27
Dear Woody,
This is Frank Smith, manager of Personnel Department. I am very sorry to inform you that your employment in the company will be over on December 31.
It is really hard for us to make this decision since you are very diligent and have excellent performance in our company. But due to the economic depression and low profits of our company, we have to lay off some workers.
If necessary, it would be my pleasure to write a recommendation letter for you. Please accept my deepest apologies again.
Sincerely yours,
Frank Smith
