To: $,$ Miss Elaine Jacobs

From: Jonathan Brooks

Subject: Banquet for Veteran Employees

Date: March $122018$

How are you doing? I am fine.

I have been asked by the Human Resources Department to organize a banquet for employees who have been with our firm ten years or more we are considering scheduling the event for May $8$ which will be a convenient time for most people. Each of the honorees have already agreed that the date will work with his schedules. Being that you have experience in setting up events for our department. We hope you will take charge of the arrangement with the caterer the florist and the printer for the program. All these cost covered by the Human Resources Department. In the past, we give special gifts to the honorees, therefore they has something tangible as a reward for their service. Please ask somebody to look into this, coordinate with Human Resources about the amount of money we can spend on each persons' gift. How many honoree's we have will effect the amount we can spend on each gift. We want to ensure that each honoree realizes how much the firm appreciate's his service. Please let me know if you can do this. Also can you suggest names of other people who might be willing to work on a committee for this banquet. I$\text{'}$m too busy with more important work to spend much time on this project.
