Francis Thompson Vice President of
Operations Collins Shipping Service
Inc.
May 5, 2006 Attention Regional
Directors, Here at Collins Shipping Service Inc. (CSS). we’ve
built a reputation as a trustworthy and efficient national corporation that
always puts the needs of the customer first. The key to this success has been
the careful organization of our regional and local divisions, which has enabled
us to communicate effectively. However, our recent expansions
have caused some problems with this system. In order to
maintain our communicative ability, the CEO has decided to reorganize all of the
corporation’s divisions. As regional directors, you are requested to submit
detailed status reports on your divisions, focusing on any new service areas you
are responsible for. Next month, you will attend a conference
to be held at CSS headquarters in Vancouver. There, you will participate in
meetings to finalize the new organizational plans. You all will have the
opportunity to voice your suggestions, concerns, and opinions, so please be
prepared. Attached is a schedule of events for the conference.
To arrange your travel and lodging needs, please contact Martin O’Flynn in the
headquarters’ personnel department at 604-555-0924. Collins
Shipping Service Inc. is committed to preserving its excellent reputation and
continuing is success. Please assist us in achieving this goal.
Very truly yours, Francis Thompson
