Dear Sir/madam,
“Good mentoring is one of the aspect to accomplishment of projects by the staff members
within the organisation on time.”
As you all already have the knowledge, the human resource department has boarded a new
project- an inventiveness which I feel strongly about i.e. a mentoring programme for newly
3

joined employees. This programme aims to prove help new employees so that they can rapidly
accept the ways of working and perform activities in the group. If a personal mentor is provided
to them, they can easily ask important and relevant question which developed them to work in a
team.
I would like to hold the position of team leaders for this particular project as I have the
qualifications, skills and experience which meets the needs of this position.
This project is highly essential for me as I believe and perceive that the intent of mentoring
programme coincides my thoughts as well as views. You are well familiar with my performance
and experience in the organisation till now & how dedicatedly I implement project internally &
externally. Beside this requirements, I will bring some creative and unique idea in order to
make mentoring programme effective and supervising the new employees appropriately so that
they did not face any problem at workplace.

Subject: Issue of Texting and lateness in meetings
Dear Team,
“Punctuality & discipline is one of the key to attaining higher growth and success within the
corporate life.”
It is observed that during the meetings many of the team members coming late in order to attend
meetings. Along with this, it is noted that team members are busy in messaging or texting and
using their cell phones when the important discussion are going between members and senior
authorities. All this issues is highly unacceptable as it leads to attainment of negative results that
directly impact on business performance and image as well.
 First of all, lateness of members develop an environment of indiscipline in the office
timings and scenario.
 Secondly, coming late disturbs all other team members and diver their mind on them
instead of important topic.
 Thirdly, messaging or texting within the meeting decline the morale and confidence of
other team members.
 It is analysed that messaging even leads to distraction in minds of other people and
creates off topic discussion as well.
 Also, texting and indiscipline in meeting develops nuisance that impact on the flow of
discussion on important topic.
So, it is now expected from all of you to take such issues into consideration & avoid coming
late and texting within the meetings. If discipline is not maintained by any of the member then
strict actions will be taken by senior authorities on that particular member of company.
Thanks and Regards
