By exceeding fiscal year sales of anyone in her department, Jane has set a new standard for us all.

Jane not only topped the charts with $60,000 in sales, but she also composed an effective jingle that we plan to use on our TV spot.

Robert produced the interface for our new phonetic program in less than two weeks--something of a record in itself.

John's suggestion that we consolidate parts of our assembly procedure will reduce our response time by fifteen percent.

We are pleased to announce that the winner of our fall sales contest is Jane Doe. Congratulations, Jane!

Jane was successful in securing 50 new clients in the month of November, which breaks the record held by John Doe since last January. Her achievement is particularly impressive since it happened in a month that is generally considered slow, showing once again that it can be done.

For her outstanding work she will receive a trip for two to Honolulu, Hawaii. We wish her and her husband bon voyage.

Our next contest begins in January. Get ready, the next winner may be you.

We have a winner. Jane Johnson is our "Employee of the Month." For the second time in five months, our customers have selected Jane as their favorite customer service representative. Jane has a reputation for courtesy and concern, qualities which reflect well on the Doe Corporation.

For her efforts, we are sending Jane and her spouse, John, on an all expenses paid vacation at the luxurious Saddleback Resort. Our heartfelt thanks to Jane for all she does at Doe.

Let's have a big round of applause for Jane Doe, who has once again won our Manager of the Year award.

Jane's insistence upon remaining a step ahead of the managerial trends marks her as an example to us all.

In addition to a handsome cash bonus to show our appreciation, Jane will fly first class on all her business travels next year.

Congratulations, Jane!
