Subject: Modified Production Schedule
Moondrop Team:
We need to modify the production schedule to incorporate changes. Recent tests have found that
players in Moondrop are struggling with the revamped gameplay ideas. In order to deal with
these issues, upper management has reached a decision.

3INTRODUCTION TO PROFESSIONAL WRITING
Upper Management has decided to release Moondrop a month prior to the allotted time-period
to evaluate the returns in investments. Hence, the production schedule will change accordingly.
Due to the sudden change, I have decided to cancel summer vacations following the leave policy.
I know that each one of you may have plans, but it is important to achieve the goals to secure the
trust of the investors. Certain game fixes such as incorporation of new and developed ideas can
reduce the impact of the problems.
I shall inform the respective Team Leaders about the procedures to deal with the changes within
the stipulated time. The Team Leaders shall exercise the authority of re-arranging the approved
vacations until the teams find a new time-line. I appreciate your hard work and desire for
cooperation.
