I just got a message from a staff member in sales saying that salaries for her department have not been deposited yet. They should have come in yesterday afternoon.

Jessica Jang 9:28
Has anyone else gotten similar complaints from other departments?

William Stuttgart 9:34
I just checked with production and they got theirs, but those in purchasing did not. Neither did the employees in finance. Oh, and my salary hasn't come in either.

Jessica Jang 9:35
Nor mine. This is quite strange. I checked with research and development and they got theirs. I wonder if Erin's heard anything.

Erin Hinkle 9:37
Sorry, I was on the phone just now. None of us in human resources has gotten paid, apparently. I discovered this issue earlier this morning, and I just contacted Beacon Bank to find out the cause of the problem. They promised a response in the next 10 minutes.

Erin Hinkle 9:44
So, the bank says they had some technical issues with a new payment software system that they recently started using. They've resolved the problem now and those who haven't been paid yet should have their funds within the next hour. Let me know what happens.

William Stuttgart 10:34
I just received notification from the bank that the funds have been sent.

Jessica Jang 10:35
Same here. Erin, could you contact the other departments to confirm that the problem's been solved?

Erin Hinkle 10:36
OK. I can do that.

A disturbance in The Unity

Fans of Warren Diaz’s pop phenomenon sci-fi series, The Space Empire, will have to wait five additional months to see the fourth and final film of the movie series, The Unity. Thinkers Production announced today that the release of The Unity has been postponed to December 15 from July 21 in North America. The production company pushed back the release date in the hope that the Christmas season will bring more people to the theaters.

The success of the movie series was actually rather unexpected in the film industry as its first film, The March to Mars, was watched by a relatively low number of people. The second and third films of the series made in total of $3.2 billion, breaking records with impressive figures and shocking the whole industry.

Hi Tiffany.

I just came back from New York this morning. During my vacation there, I had the chance to see the newest film of The Space Empire, The Unity, on its release day. It was just fantastic! I cannot believe the series is finished though. Well, the thing is that I watched the first two movies of the series, The March to Mars and The Great Mission, but not the third one. I think that is why I got a little confused watching the final episode. Nonetheless, it was a great movie, and I think you should watch it.

Sincerely,
Robert Brown

Hi, Robert.

I am sorry for the late reply. As you may know, I was busy all day long yesterday preparing for the company seminar. I am glad you enjoyed your recent vacation. I actually watched The Unity with my family on December 17. It is indeed a very well-made movie. The final action scene took my breath away.

I can’t believe you haven’t seen The Collapse of the Throne yet! How could you possibly have missed it? I have a DVD of every episode of the series, so maybe we can watch the one you missed together sometime. Let me know when you are available.

Regards,
Tiffany Allen
