Managing Director

To
Production Director

"Tommorrow there will be a total eclipse of the sun at nine o' clock. This is something that we cannot see happen everyday, so let the work force line up outside, in their best clothes, to watch it. To mark this occation of this rare occurance, I'll personally explain the phenomenon to them. If it is raining, we shall not be able to see it very well and in that case the work force should assemble in the canteen."
