Remak is facing serious budgetary constraints and as such decides to make cuts that are to include even some senior members of staff. As an executive of this cash-strapped organization, you must notify some staff members of measures that will significantly impact their lives.

Letter (A)

produce a letter to John Pain, a regular member of staff who is on the termination list. Inform him of the impending cuts scheduled to take effect on October 30, 2022, and that he will receive his severance pay as stipulated by contractual agreement. This correspondence should follow the rules of a negative message.

Letter (B)

Simultaneously, you are directed to send the surviving employees (in this case Jane Lucky) a letter assuring her of her employment and the viability and future growth-potential of the company. Inform her that the cuts, sensitive as they may seem, were in the best interest to achieve the company's targeted goal.Also, in the medium term, it would result in significant salary increases and a more harmonious work environment for every employee as the company retools and explores new avenues.

Please indicate whether the indirect or direct approach was used in the writing each of the letters. (a note at the end of each letter will be perfect)
