I.We were sorry to hear about the accident. Anyway, you mustn’t feel too anxious about work. A lot of people are away on holiday this month, so there’s not as much business as usual. When you are feeling a little better we’d like to come and see you; we’ll bring you some of your favorite chocolate.
Now for office news. Have you heard that the boss is getting married next month? She tried to keep it quiet but one of the secretaries heard her talking about wedding arrangements over the phone, so now of course everyone knows! We’re collecting money to buy her a special present. It’s really difficult to know what to get her as she has most things, you know. Someone has suggested theater or concert tickets, which is a good idea. We can find out from her personal assistant what her plans are and when she has a free evening. The only problem is that although we know what she likes, we still don’t know whether her future husband shares her tastes.
All being well, we’ll see you some time next week. Until then we all send you good wishes and hope you recover quickly.
