Subject: Staff Recommendations
As you know, when our customers browse for books, they often ask you for recommendations. As you may also know, February is Contemporary African American Writers Month. In honor of that, I'd like to create a display on the west wall of our store that highlights our staff's recommendations for books by African American writers. I'd like for every employee to choose a book you enjoyed reading and write a short synopsis (a paragraph is fine) of the book and describe why you recommend it. Recommendations can be written on a form that is available from Jenny at the special orders desk and should be submitted to me by the end of next week. That will give us plenty of time to create the display. In addition, the book that you recommend should be written by an African American writer who is currently living. The book can be fiction or nonfiction and must've been published within the last ten years. Your recommendation will be displayed next to copies of the book.
I know that all of you are avid readers. I'm looking forward to seeing our customers' reactions to this display and to your knowledge and expertise.
Thank you,
Charles
