Dear Mr. Porter,
I am writing to tell you that the workshops will not be held at the Hillside Hotel since the hotel will be undergoing major repairs this month. Instead, we will be holding the workshops at the Forestwood Hotel at 2563 Seventh Street. The workshops will still follow the same schedule of runs from August 21 to 24. Afternoon workshops start at 1 p.m. and evening workshops at 6 p.m. Your employees are encouraged to attend at least one of these workshops. As mentioned earlier, those who want to attend the workshops should register before the end of next week. I will send you the registration forms tomorrow.
Last week, I sent you 50 handbooks for your employees. I already received confirmation that you had received them, but I did not get the unwanted handbooks back. Please send them to us by mail no later than August 20. If you have any questions about the change, feel free to call me at 390-4589.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Carmen Ortiz
Human Resources Manager
