Hi Rita,
Have you made a decision yet about the new job? It must be difficult. It’s such a big decision to have to move to London and everything. I always put off making decisions till the last possible moment. I bet you’re the same. I detected a slight hesitation in your last email. Are you having second thoughts? Anyway, let me know.

Dear Carl,
You’ve probably heard that the management have taken the decision to close the Madrid office. There was a lot of discussion, but apparently it was a unanimous decision in the end. There’s always been a degree of uncertainty surrounding the future of the Madrid office, but let’s just hope this will now be seen as a wise decision by everyone.

Dear Mary,
After weeks of hesitating, it seems Matt has arrived at a decision about the research fund. He’s going to increase it by £10,000. I think that’s a sensible decision that combines generosity and sound judgement. But he’s also defending his decision to close down the San Antonio project, which is losing a lot of money. However, he’s reserving judgement on the Berlin project until he gets more reliable information.

Nick
