I would like to thank you for the contribution in increasing the company’s profit. The profit increased due to very hard work and long working hours. Each of the staff will receive an envelope with a reward on Tuesday. The reward is a trip to Hawaii, and I hope that this will be the perfect reward. Enjoy!# ~" e! [; C% N3 S2 L
