One day an employee sends a letter to his boss asking for an increase in his salary !!!
Dear Bo$$

The next day, the employee received this letter of reply:
Dear
I kNOw you have been working very hard. NOw a days, NOthing much has changed. You must have NOticed that our company is NOt doing NOticably well . NOw the newspapers are saying the world's leading ecoNOmists are NOt sure if the United States may go into aNOther recession. After the NOvember presidential elections things may turn bad. I have NOthing more to add NOw. You kNOw what I mean .

Hi Kety,
Both of them has their unique way of expressing their sentiments as it relates to financial matters--bonus, increase, etc. Wheeeewwww same here. no movement and increase in our salaries too. same reason nothing's new. for me, with or without increase, what is important is I STILL HAVE A REGULAR JOB than not having one.

That is so neat. I had to read over this a couple of times to make it out though. I noticed all of the dollar signs from the employee and I also noticed all of the NO's from the boss too.

Yes, it is fun to read such creative letters.One very cleverly forwarded his request and the other equally cleverly denied it. Wish more people were so creative. Live would be so much more fun, huh ? Thanks.

That was really clever on both sides.I think the employee $hould have notified what would be his reaction if he wa$ not granted what he a$ked for.He might have threatened to leave his job then.I wonder how would the boss NOtify his denial.We can frame more interesting wordings according to our IQ.

Clever employee and clever Boss. Or should I say that the person who wrote this joke is clever.

Hi Bart. What would life be if we did not have a few laughs now and then. This was really fun penning it down and Im sure you could work miracles with this letter. Do let me know if it works. I sure am interested. Thanks.
