Dear Ms. Smith, The way I see it…, not the best/unfortunate choice… it seems we all could use…, … would really improve our working conditions…, people would appreciate…, the problem is that …, I wish you would consider…, I would rather you did not, let me suggest…
Dear Ms. Smith,
I am writing to you to give you my opinion on the changes you are planning to introduce in our company.
First of all, let me tell you that while it is a great idea to improve the working atmosphere at our company, the changes you are considering might not be the best idea. I really do not believe we need a massage studio here. While it might help us relax our muscles, a massage during working hours might make people sleepy and less productive, which is probably not what you had in mind. Not to mention the fact that the whole place would smell of massage oils and I would rather not sit in such scents all day.
Let me suggest an alternative that it seems a lot of us would be happy to see. The company kitchen is tiny and the refrigerator is insufficient for such a big team. Half of us do not manage to find space for our lunches in it. There’s also a queue for the microwave. It seems we could all use a spacious kitchen with free fresh food, like fruit, yogurt, and some catering during lunchtime. Not having to worry about bringing in and then storing and finding our food would be greatly appreciated by everyone.
I wish you would think about our needs and run a survey before you make any decisions. I hope you will consider my suggestions.
