Dear Angel

We are sending this letter to let you know we are aware of your growing habit of being late for work. On more than one occasion this week, you have been at least 30 minutes late for work.

2)      July 14^th, 2009 – 9 minutes late after lunch break; No explanation

We want you to be aware that we take punctuality very seriously at Kroeger Bottling, and we want you to start coming to work onetime.
