New Consultant	Since the project seems to have stalled indefinitely, I'm sending in a trusted colleague to shake things up and get it back on track. Effective immediately, you are to abide by their guidance and obey their directives. Jules, you're still taking point as project lead, so I want you to fill them in with all the details and guide them through our process. Answer any questions they may have, and remind the team that this is a direct order coming from me. -Walter Stroud
Parts Backorder	We regret to inform you that the parts you requested, PBGX1749, GYLK8422B, and SHC19851-2 are currently on back order due to an unexpected delivery issue. We expect more of these parts to be coming off the assembly line in the coming weeks, and we will ship them out as they become available. Since we value our continued partnership with Stroud-Eklund, we will apply a 5% discount off the entire order as a courtesy. Once again, we apologize for the delay. -J.J. Samuels Lead Sales Technician
Bonuses	The topic of bonuses was brought up in our anonymous employee feedback forum. Good news! The board has approved modest bonus payout to all employees! The remainder of your bonus payout will be delivered upon completion of project codename "Kepler," provided it meets the required launch date and sales goals.
