The memo
To: MS project members
From: MS project manager
Date: 12/02/2013
Subject: The MS project budget Depletion
I am writing to inform all of the project members of the current budget situation in the human resource project in the year 2012.
Firstly, I would like to appreciate all of the team members for their participation in the previous project. Your effort made the previous project a success. However, it is important to mention that some of our members are not giving their best towards the project. This made us finish the previous project behind the schedule. This has made us to lose track with the current project of revamping the employee compensation and benefits package. We are six weeks behind the schedule. This is because we had to overlap the activities of the previous project with the activities of the current project.
These delays caused by the late delivery of some of the members in the project activities have cost the project much. This is to indicate that our budget is depleted at a high rate than we anticipated. However, this should not discourage anyone of us. This is because we still have time to pull up necessary changes and efforts in order to cover up on the time lost.
Therefore, I am appealing to all of us to support each other in order to meet our deadlines and reduce on the costs so that the project will not suffer from deficiencies of funds. It would be important if we could all deliver our project activities on time. This will be to our benefit in that we will have time to relief and celebrate on the success of the completed project unlike when we are behind the schedule that we have to rush things in order to meet deadline.
Once again thank you for your corporation during the previous project and your interest and dedication towards our current project.
