Subject: Communication issue at the workplace
Dear xyz,
Good morning, this e-mail is to provide you a brief on the communication issue that I encounter today in
the workplace. It is to note that James had come 5 minutes late this morning and he started punching his card in
at the time clock that is located in our front desk. I greeted him saying Good Morning but he ignored and directly
headed into the shop. I felt really bad as I think he purposely ignored me that time. It was when I called you to
alert regarding the arrival of James.
James is quite old in this system but he still comes in late at office. He also ignored me so that I don’t
ask him about his late arrival. I think we need to communicate once again with our employees about the vitality to
come in time at office and must implement some changes now. I need to request a 20 minutes face to face
meeting with you. Would it be possible for you to meet me in for a brief meeting sometime within this week so
that we can discuss over the issue and plan strategy to overcome this occurrence of such communication issue
in our workplace?
Kindly revert me back as soon as you get this e-mail. Thank you very much for your attention. I would
be looking forward to hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah
Front Desk Manager
