A letter to work....

To XXXXX XXXXXX
District Manager
XXXXXX Corp.

(First Name), I would like to apologize for our phone conversation a couple of days ago. I know that there's no excuse for having my sister answer my cell phone, nor do I know why she took that tone with you. She refused to discuss it with me later. I have to admit to being confused because she's normally very easy going.

For myself, while it's no justification, the Doctor did want both my attention and my signature on the release. I have to acknowledge her concern, nobody wants held accountable for some one else's death. Although since I didn't die, I guess it wasn't that important. I am thankful for your timing, alittle later and I would have been out-literally.

Again my apologies and thanks, I appreciate your help in keeping my priorities straight.


Yours Truly,
XXXX. XXXXXX



Any improvements I can make?, It's hard to write when your this pissed off.

I think you meant "literally," when you typed, "literary." Discuss is spelled with two S's on the end, and you need an apostrophe s at the end of the word "she" in the fourth sentence.

Good luck with this situation! I wish I had practical advice, but am clueless as to what's going on.

More details? I not sure if I want to add them, she's very aware that called me in the hospital to remind me of the important things-my job.

Also, although the first paragraph is great, you might want to just say something like ' You reached me at the hospital emergency room where I was being prepped for emergency surgery and the doctor was trying to explain to me the potentially life-threatening risks of the proposed surgery.'

I understand how angry you are. I have more than once given into the urge to be snarky, and regretted it.

It's kind of the topper to years of disrespect, saving her job by cutting my pay and benefits. With my health as her justification.

tons of story. The short version is she couldn't even wait for me to get out of the hospital to let me know my job was in danger.

have to admit that I'm not sure. With the way things are set, I'm most likely filing for unemployment soon. Nothing I say or do is likely to change that.

I guess the main thing I don't want this treatment to go unnoticed.
