The purpose of these workshops is to provide the most updated training to our newest members of our company. During the two days in November, each participant will get a chance to become acquainted with our executive personnel as well as each other. Participants will also be exposed to our latest line of products and will be informed of the company's vision and goals for the year 2011.
Attendance is mandatory. Those who, for medical or personal reasons, cannot attend must get permission from their immediate managers. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you there.

Re: New Employee Workshop
Dear James,
You requested that all managers submit the names of their employees who will be attending the workshop scheduled for November. Here is my list:
John Stack
Mary Fisher
Terry Dillon
Sean Gomez
These four people on my team will be in attendance. As for Lenny Brown, he has provided written permission to be excused from the orientation. The reason for his absence is that his grandfather has passed away, so he must make a trip to his home country to attend the funeral. The situation is unfortunate for his family but as for the orientation, I think it will be okay. Lenny has been with us just under a year, and I think he can afford to miss this orientation.
