Message 1
I highly recommend Italy. Spend a full week in Florence, if you can. Be sure to visit the Brancacci Chapel—it’s been restored and the frescoes are breathtaking. And I can give you the names of some great restaurants. You may never want to come back!
Message 2:
As you know, we are in a very competitive position right now. Your job is important and there is no one who can easily replace you. However, because you are a val-ued employee, I will permit you to take the leave you request, as long as you train a replacement before you leave
