A manager went to a business trip and he received a note from his assistant the moment he arrived that wrote:
"Dear Sir,
I am sorry to say but your favourite cat died this morning when she fell from the tree top."
The manager felt very sad for the entire trip and failed to present eloquently in front of his clients. So when he got back to his office, he lectured his assistant and said:" Next time, don't send me any notes that said directly something that I love died. You should first send a note saying something like 'Your cat climbed up a tree and won't come down' then another one saying 'Your cat fell from the tree' and then only the one saying that it died. Get it?" The assistant nodded. On the next business trip, the manager received another note from his assistant again. This time, it wrote:
"Dear Sir, Your mum climbed up a tree and won't come down."
