2012-10-10 – Employee visits SA for the first time

Recent e-mail exchange – Names removed to protect the innocent
 
A work mate has been sent by work from the UK off to South Africa.
The trip included a 5* hotel and lifts from home to Heathrow and back. Collection from airport, First class Virgin flights, airport lounge access.
Anyhow read the e-mails between him and his boss.
They start out just enquiring about his trip, in a caring way!
