　　Question14-16 refer to the following facsimile.

　　Barry,

　　Here’s a quick status report on the current affairs in the office while you’ve been gone. I also sent you an email in addition to this fax but wasn’t sure how much access to email you would have. The major news is the resignation of George Stewart who left to start his own company. If you recall, that had been his career dream for a long time.

　　Our immediate reaction to George’s departure did not include a replacement hire. As you know, we have been struggling with the possibility of staff layoffs for the last month in order to cut costs. By reallocating some of the job responsibilities to the remaining employees, we may be able to save their jobs and fill the void.

　　We also had a surprise visit from a few new senior management members from the head office. I gave them a tour of our office and took them out for a nice dinner. They didn’t make any company announcements while they were here (stating they just wanted to see this division). I have a strange feeling that the future may present some drastic changes for our company.

　　I’ll keep this short, but I wanted to keep you abreast of what’s going on. Enjoy the rest of your trip, and say hello to Mary and the Kids!

　　Kent
