Subject: The New Position

Dear Daniel,

I'm writing to inform you of your new position.

As is known to all, the assistant to the general manager of the personnel department handed in her resignation at the end of last month. So we are in urgent need of a successor to her. Here is good news for you. You have been chosen to take over as the new assistant by common consent at the meeting yesterday morning. Congratulations. I hope the new position will lead you to greater success.

You are supposed to report for duty in the personnel department at nine o'clock on Monday morning next week. The general manager will talk with you about your salary and routine duties then. As for your present position in the sales department, Jeremy Richardson will be the replacement for you. Maybe you would like to talk with him face to face before you are transferred to the new department.

Enclosed, please find Jeremy Richardson's resume.

Yours cordially,

James

主旨：新職位

親愛的丹尼爾：

我寫這封郵件，是想要把你的新職位告知你。

我們都知道，上個月月末，人事部的總經理助理遞交了辭呈。因此，我們亟需尋找一位繼任者。有個好消息要告訴你。在昨天早上的會議上，大家都一致同意選定你來繼任新助理。祝賀你。希望新的職位可以讓你取得更大的成功。

你要于下周一早上9點鐘到人事部報到入職。屆時，總經理會和你談談你的薪資和日常工作職責。至于你在銷售部的現行職位，杰里米·理查森將會接手。在你調職到新部門工作之前，你也許會想要和他當面談一談。

隨函附上吉里米·理查森的簡歷。

真誠的

詹姆斯

★ 解析：

句首的You are supposed to..．可以視為習慣表達，表示“你要……你應該……”，相當于You are expected to...、You should...、You ought to...；句中的report for duty可以視為固定用法，表示“報到上班”。
