business work 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 secrectaries heard her talking about wedding
arrangement over the phone, so now of course everyone knows! We’re collecting money
to buy her a present. It’s really difficult to know what to get her as she has most things.
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 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 our good
wishes and hope you recover quickly.
