Hi Walt, Could you do me a favor? I've attached a questionnaire to this email. Would you please take a minute to fill it in electronically and send it back to me? We need to update the information we have on the heads of departments for the new company brochures we are preparing for release in September. Please include non-confidential personal information such as awards, community service, and family news as well as work-related information. And do you want me to arrange to have a new photo taken of you for the brochure? The one that we have on file (also attached) seems to be from when you first started with the firm four or five years ago.
One other thing — part of my new job is to edit the company newsletter, so I'd appreciate hearing from you if there have been any exciting new developments or any interesting gossip from the engineering department. If so, please let me know right away because the deadline for submissions to the newsletter for next month is Friday, June 21.
Thanks so much,
Judy

Hey Judy,
I'll fill out the questionnaire and get it to you by the end of the week. I'm afraid I don't have all that much new to report since the last time I filled out one of these!
As far as information for the newsletter: I'd hoped to announce the release date of our newest product, the E-Cube Mark IV, in next month's newsletter, but there have been a few problems and the release date has been put off for a couple of weeks. However, you can report that the Mark IV will be released soon, and that it is the most advanced version of the E-Cube ever.
Gossip from the engineering department: My personal assistant Deborah Baines is getting married next Saturday. One of our engineers, Jae Sim, has organized an after-work computer game tournament. Max Taggert, my old boss, is retiring in July.
About the photo: it's really not that old. I think it was taken about two years ago. Guess I just looked young that day! However, I'm attaching a more recent one.
Oh, by the way, congratulations on being named head of the Public Relations Department!
Best wishes,
Walter Q.
