Dear Managers,

I am troubled by a recurring problem of excessive personal e-mails being sent in the workplace. Please answer the questions below, your ideas will assist us in the development of an arrangement that will benefit our organization. Please sumbit your responses in writing to these questions by May 5, 2010. I will present all the ideas brought to my attention at our supervisory committee meeting on May 10, 2010.

The questions are :
 * Estimate the number of personal e-mail messages you receive and answer each day?
 * Think about how many hours the staff members in your department spend on personal e-mails each day.
 * Approximately how many hours would you estimate is spent reading, and responding to these e-mails?
 * Do you have any suggestions as to how we may reduce the volume of persoanl e-mail messages being sent and received during business hours?
 * Do you think that personal e-mails are being sent in excess in your department?

I hope to organize a daily half-hour break, where upon, personal e-mails and phone calls can be taken care of. I appreciate your suggestions and advice in developing a solution to our problem. Together we can make an improvement in productivity. If you have any further question please feel free to contact me.
