Ref: World Cup

Dear Sir/Madam,

I wish to let you know that the FIFA World Cup is about to begin. This
is not just any other tournament, it's the World Cup! Please note that
this tournament takes place every four years and a month to finish, i.e.
from 11th June to 11th July for this year. During this period take note
of the following:

 1. I will be knocking off earlier than usual in order to watch the kick
off of the first game.

 2. Do not be surprised if I report a little bit late every morning, it
will depend on the time the last game finishes.

 3. Production will go up during this month as almost all employees will
be happy and highly motivated (Check Maslow's Motivation Theories with
Human Resource).

 4. I know you are into other boring sports like golf, cricket, bowling,
etc. Please if you want to fit in the work environment for the next one
month, try to know something about soccer, even asking a foolish
question like" Is Malawi playing tonight?" that is if you really want to
fit in, or else no one will be a loner for one full month.

 5. Greeting each other in the morning will change from "Good morning" to
"How was the game last night?"

 6. I will not accept to work overtime during this period as no amount of
money can buy me to miss a game. Therefore make sure you don't give me
any work after 16:30hours.

 7. I will need to be up-to-date with the latest; therefore the first 1
hour every morning is for accessing sports websites and other updates on
the internet and also chatting with friends on phone.

8. Lastly, please do not think you can fire me should you decide to
break any of the above rules as you will have to fire everyone.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours faithfully,
