PART C_2

Version I

Dear Miss Biggs:

Having conducted our standard credit investigation, we have concluded that it would be unwise for us to grant your credit at this time.

We believe that the extent of your current obligations makes you a bad credit risk. As you can understand, it is in our best interest to grant charge accounts only to those customers with proven ability to pay.

Please accept our sincere regrets and feel free to continue to shop at Allen’s on a cash basis.

Sincerely yours,

Version II

Dear Miss Biggs:

I am sorry to inform you that your application for an Allen’s charge account has beenturned down.

Our credit department believes that, because of your credit obligations, additional credit might be difficult for you to handle at this time. Your credit reputation is too valuable to be placed in jeopardy. We will be delighted, of course, to reconsider your application in the future should your financial responsibilities be reduced. Until then, we hope you will continue to shop at Allen’s where every customer is our prime concern.

Sincerely yours,

Version I

TO: Department Supervisors
FROM: Assistant Director

Inform your subordinates:

1. Because so many have taken advantage of past leniency, lateness will no longer be
overlooked. Paychecks will be docked as of Monday, March 6.

2. As a result of abuses of employee privileges, which have resulted in exorbitant longdistance telephone bills, any employee caught making a personal call will be subject to disciplinary action.

As supervisors, you will be required to enforce these new regulations.

Version II

TO: Department Supervisors
From: Wanda Hatch, Assistant Director

Unfortunately, a few people have taken advantage of lenient company policies
regarding lateness and personal phone calls. As a result, we must all now conform to tougher regulations.

Please inform the members of your department that:

1. Beginning Monday, March 6, the paychecks of employees who are late will be docked.

2. Personal phone calls are no longer permitted.

It is a shame that the abuses of a few must cost the rest of us. But we are asking all department supervisors to help us enforce these new rules.

PART E_2

TO: Department Managers
FROM: Branch Director

Tell your subordinates:

1. Because our customers complained about many of our employees taking too long to respond to e-mails, distractions such as the use of mobile phones, listening to music and checking of Facebook will no longer be allowed.

2. Because many of our employees spend more than one hour for their lunch break,
any employee who comes to work late from lunch will be considered on a half-day.

As department managers, you have to enforce these new regulations.
