5. It is with much regret that I must ask you to accept this letter as formal notice of the redundancy of your position as administrative assistant with effect from 31 august 2010.

6. Dear Mrs. Boyle

7. On behalf of the Company, I would like to thank you for the services you have given us in the past and wish you every success in the future.

8. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need clarification.

9. The Company will gladly grant you reasonable time off with pay for the purposes of attending job interviews or undertaking any training for alternative employment.

10. The services of the Personnel Department will, of course, be freely available to assist you in obtaining suitable alternative employment.

Ex. 5.Look at the letter below. A lawyer has written it on behalf of his client. Parts of the letter are written in an inappropriate way. They are underlined. Rewrite the letter changing the underlined parts by more appropriate variants. What two outcomes from this situation are possible? Are there enough reasons to win litigation?
