MR CONN:
Take a letter, please, Judith:
SALESMAN
PERFORMANCE REPORT
NAME OF SALESMAN: John Aloysius Berry
NUMBER OF SALES TO DATE: 0
Dear Colleagues,

Although this salesman has only been working with the organization for two weeks, it is already quite possible to give a general picture of his success in selling, and his value to the organization.

As far as his success in selling is concerned, the fact that in two weeks he has not sold anything at all I think says quite enough. As for his value to the organization, I would describe it as less than nothing; indeed, even less than that. I have asked Mr Berry to leave his position and to return to us the five Laundroperk machines which he has been unsuccessfully carrying around the streets of Washdon, as from next Monday. I need hardly say that I will be keeping the deposit of $500 which Mr Berry paid for these machines, though I will wait for him to return them before informing him of the fact.

Signed October 26th,
Eamonn T Conn.
