[Everyone] Re: Bring Your Daughter To Work Day

[Giles]

James,

It would seem that no-one here in the Executive Accounts Executive
Arena has a daughter to bring to work next Wednesday.

Since we do not wish to miss out on the gender rebalancing you
mentioned, might it be possible for someone else's daughter to join us
on secondment, just for a couple of hours?

Kind regards

Giles
Executive Account Executive (Level 2, Pending Level 1, Pending)
