Dear Ms. Montessori,
As you are probably aware, my contract will expire at the end of March. We have already discussed my plan to retire, so hopefully this does not come as a surprise. This letter serves as official notification of my intention to step down as the company's vice president of finance. I would be happy to stay on for an additional month to train and assist any replacement you choose.
I have truly enjoyed my time with Homestead Properties and appreciate all the support I've been provided over the years. I will miss working with my wonderful colleagues, but I will stay in touch. Thank you very much for all the opportunities you and the board of directors have afforded me.
Sincerely,
Edward Grainger

SUBJECT Party preparations
DATE March 12
Hi Florence,
You've likely heard the news about Mr. Grainger. I would like to organize a dinner party in his honor. You did such a wonderful job of planning our awards dinner last fall, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to take care of the arrangements for this event as well.
We plan to spend up to $6,000 on the party's location. The board and I will take care of the gift. The date would be March 27, which is a Friday. I can send you a list of people we would like to invite later today. I imagine 50-60 people will be attending. As before, the company is happy to offer you an extra $500 on your next paycheck as compensation. Please let me know if you're interested as soon as possible.
Regards,
Elizabeth Montessori
