Memo to: the Director

	Subject: Letter of Recommendation

	Ron Smith, an assistant programmer, can always be found
	hard at work in his cubicle. Ron works independently, without
	wasting company time talking to colleagues. Ron never
	thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
	finishes given assignments on time. Often, Ron takes extended
	measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping
	coffee breaks. Ron is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
        vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
	knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Ron can be
	classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
	dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Ron be
	promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
	sent away as soon as possible.

	Memo to: the Director
	Subject: Letter of Recommendation

	Sorry about that earlier memo, Ron was reading over my shoulder
	as I wrote it. Kindly read every other line (i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7...)
	for my true assessment of him.
	Regards,

	Project Leader
