Retail Clothing Chain Managers (Business letter)

1670 FM 1960 West

Houston, TX 77069

Dear Management,

Changes to the store operations are going to be made and implemented soon. These changes were developed to help employees save money because of the rising gas prices as well as to help the store operations save money.

To accomplish this goal, employees will begin to work fewer days. Full-time employees will work four days a week for 10 hours each day. This will allow them to still get their full-time hours while saving money in gas by driving to work fewer days each week. This new schedule also goes for management.
