Mr. Edward Slacker I received your email message outlining your welcoming message to our employees from Hong Kong.

Mr. Slacker I would suggest that before you write any emails or send out any messages that you read up and study the Chinese culture. We do not want to offend our managers from Hong Kong and create a work environment of confusion. I would recommend using clarity in all emails...
