Hi ethan,
as you may know, macy’s is in a battle with abercrombie & fitch for sales among 15- to 20-year-old female customers. we are relocating our junior department to the basement of our store to give young people a separate entrance and place to call their own. we want to beat abercrombie & fitch, and we’ll all need to work together to make that happen.
for your hard work. together we can do this!
best regards,
william
do you think some kind of reward would be appropriate to motivate ethan? if so, what should it be?

2. two days off with pay
3. a $200 bonus
