To:AllEmployees

From: PaulCreighton
As you all know, we have had a great year this year, and we have tallied the sales numbers on each and every one of you. I’d like first of all to thank everyone for their hard work and effort.Despite the slow growth in the economy this year, we still managed to stay ahead of our competition and beat last year’s figures as well.
In addition to surpassing last year’s numbers, we have added 6 new branches, two in the downtown area, one on the west side of town, and the remaining three in the growing northern area of the city.We are pleased that each of our new branches showed a positive net income, and we expect them to grow modestly over the next couple of years with more explosive growth as we hit 2014.
In a week’s time we will be gathering for our annual appreciation ceremony for all the hard work that you do. I expect everyone to be there. It’s a great time just to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labors.Besides some great entertainment and tons of awards to give out this year, we have also lined up a surprise forBrad Jones’ retirement. We want to honor him for his 32 years of service with a special tribute that night.
I hope to see you all there!
