Dear Barbara,

I appreciate your commitment to helping the Beetle Drive run smoothly.

Kind regards,

Luc

Dear Luc,

I consider your last email inappropriately curt. I would take this matter up with our Human Resources Department, but we do not have one.

Kind regards,

Barbara

PS—Thank you for raising a requisition request for a new stapler. This requisition request has been denied.

Dear Barbara,

Perhaps you could ask the Office Manager if we could release sufficient resources to hire a Human Resources Department. Maybe I could also borrow a stapler from them.

Kind regards,

Luc
