Subject: Staff reductions
To all staff,
I am sorry to report that Beijing Enterprises has not renewed their contract for the next year. Since 20% of our business was with Beijing, the loss will cause us to reduce our staff. It appears that there will be a partial layoff in June, but fortunately this will be offset somewhat by a number of retirements this summer.
We are working hard to reestablish our relationship with this company and to acquire new accounts abroad. Until we succeed we ask for your understanding and cooperation. With your help this will be only a temporary setback. We will keep you informed with weekly updates by e-mail.
Yours truly,
Catherine Shen
主題：裁員
致全體員工：
我非常遺憾地宣佈，北京企業集團公司已經不再與我們續約明年的合同。因爲與北京公司的業務佔我們業務總量的`20%，失去這些業務將導致我們公司進行裁員。具體情況是，在6月份將會有部分的裁員，然而，幸運的是，今年夏天將有許多員工退休，裁員的狀況將會有所改觀。
我們正努力地與這家公司重新建立業務關係，同時積極地在海外獲取新客戶。在取得成功之前，我們需要你們的理解與合作。在大家的幫助下，這種狀況將只是一種暫時的挫折。我們會通過電郵隨時向大家通報每週的進展。
