Dear Kaufmann and Stein employee,

You are invited to a banquet honoring Ingrid Smithson’s 35 years of hard work at Kaufmann and Stein. Ms. Smithson joined our company as a mail-room clerk.

Ms. Smithson will be retiring next month. John Zimmermann, one of Ms. Smithson’s original coworkers, will speak in appreciation of Ms. Smithson’s valuable contributions to Kaufmann and Stein.

The banquet will be held on Friday, April 20. Please reply to this e-mail by next Wednesday or call Ms. Smithson’s secretary at extension 6655 or my secretary at extension 6235 if you wish to attend.

We hope to see you there.

Harold Dupont
