To: All Department Head From: Phil Johns Date: Tuesday, May 22 Subject: Greenleaf merger Dear Hartford Management, As company C.E.O, I took a lot of things into consideration regarding the merger with Greenleaf company. After careful consideration, I decided to withdraw from the proposed merger between the two companies. The merger, which would have united the two semiconductor manufacturers on May 20, was reconsidered in light of new information released yesterday. We received some unofficial financial data from our long-time partner, Elf Shipping Company. The Greenleaf Company has much more debt than described in their financial statements. Besides, we thought we needed this merger to remain successful and productive in the European market. However, a new study conducted by our business research unit has shown that our market share is increasing. Furthermore, the same study has revealed that adding Greenleafs aging facilities and larger workforce to our company would only weaken our ability to remain competitive in a constantly changing industry. On Friday, May 25, at 2: 00 p.m., I will be holding an information session to further explain this direction and to answer any questions you may have. The meeting, which will take place in the board room, will also be attended by Woody Coleman, the companys attorney. One issue we will be addressing is how the cancellation of the merger may affect positions within the company. If you have any questions or concerns you would like to raise, please submit them no later than May 23 to Woody Coleman at wcoleman@lawhartford.com. Phil Johns

B. To report the company"s record sales.
C. To announce a change in business plans.
D. To introduce a new company lawyer to board members.

Good Table Manners
Manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table. Here are some general rules:
Napkin (餐巾 ) use:
The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin. This is your signal to do the same,so place your napkin on your lap. Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin, or in half, lengthwise(纵向地) , if it is a large dinner napkin.
If you need to leave the table during the meal, place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning. Once the meal is over, place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate. Do not refold it.
Use a napkin only for your mouth. Never use it for your nose, face or forehead.
Use of utensils (餐具):
Start with the knife, fork or spoon furthest from your plate, and work your way in, using one utensil for each course.
If soup is served, remember to spoon away from yourself. This helps stop the drips. Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth. Instead, fill a soup spoon about 75 per cent with soup, and sip(啜饮) it from the side noiselessly.
After finishing dinner, place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife blade facing inward toward the plate.
Using your fingers:
Here&39;s a list of finger foods: sandwiches, cookies, small fruits or berries with stems, French fires and potato chips, and hamburgers.
Chew (咀嚼) with your mouth closed and don&39;t make noise: don&39;t talk with your mouth full.
Bread must be broken with your hands. It is never cut with a knife.
Don&39;t pick something out of your teeth. Instead, excuse yourself to the bathroom.
If possible, try not to cough at the table.
Do not put your elbows (肘) on the table. In France, it is essential to have both hands above the table at the same time.
Do not put bones or anything else on the table. Things that are not eaten should be put on your plate.

Working together to plan for the growth and maintenance of something is a basic human need. People are gregarious by nature: our nature is to nurture. Work, with its limited ability to financially compensate employees, provides an unending source for intrinsic motivators and rewards. Teamwork pulls and puts people together to create and produce. It becomes a self-fulfilling reward system. It provides the spirit, enthusiasm, fun, “braintrust” and environment for creative conflict and competition that drives people to produce and excel.
Motivated employees, like motivated customers, are an investment for any company. In the final analysis, all businesses are customer service businesses, and all employees are emissaries. When checking its viability in the marketplace, every business must look at its responsibilities on both bottom lines: financial resources and human resources.
