'Wordy' Email

Subject: Abandoned Car

This is to inform you that a new, grey in colour Audi was actually left by someone in the back of the car park.

Due to the fact that the car has continued to remain there for several weeks and is still yet unclaimed, the company has been given permission by the police to auction off the car if we make a donation of the monies earned to some type of charitable organisation.

If you are willing and able to be in charge of the auction and to run the subsequent committee, please stop in at this point in time to take the time to discuss the most important and essential element of the auction proceedings.
