　　道森小姐，我想让你给做一下记录。

　　好的，老板。

　　这是今天下午之前发给所有职工的内部文件。准备好了吗?

　　好了，老板。您说吧。

　　全体员工请注意……请立即执行;所有办公室的联系仅限于电子邮件和正式的备忘录。上班时间严禁使用即时通信系统。

　　老板，这仅限于办公室外内部通信吗?还是也包括外部通信?

　　所有的通信都应该包括在内，不仅是办公室的员工之间，还包括所有对外联系。

　　可是老板，很多员工教用即时通信系统与客户联系。

　　他们只需要改变一下联系办法。我不想任何人在这个办公室外使用即时通信系统，太浪费时间!现在，请继续往下写备忘录。我们刚刚说到哪儿了?

　　“这包括内部和外部联系……”

　　是的。任何坚持使用即时通信系统的人，如果是初犯就会受到警告，然后试用一段时间。如果是第二次犯，这个人就会被解雇。有关这一新政策的问题可以直接向部门主管反映。

　　就这些吗?

　　就这些。请把这份备忘录打印出来，在下午4点以前分发给所有的员工。
