Dear Ms Montague, As you are probably aware, the recent smoking ban has had
a profound impact on our business. Our sales have dropped 40 percent in the
last six months. Though we do not expect this to be a long-term concern for our
business, we don't expect sales to return to normal until the summer when our
patio opens for the tourist season. Due to the loss in business we regret to inform you that
we are laying-off all of our hosts and hostesses for the winter and spring.
With business being so slow our servers can handle the task of greeting and
seating customers on their own. You are entitled to two week's severence pay, which will
be paid in full on your next paycheck. Please come in for any scheduled shifts
next week. Thank you for your hard work and dedication at Pino's Pizzaria.
Please apply again for our next summer season. Sincerely, Franco
Bellini Franco Bellini
