As many of you know, two weeks ago Friday was the national competition deadline to name our company’s mascot. Our cute teddy bear, which adorns all of our products’ boxes, has been nameless since its creation twenty-five years ago. The response to this campaign was simply overwhelming. We received over seventeen thousand entries. Each sender, of course, is hoping to win the ten-thousand dollar prize. Our staff of ten has miraculously selected twenty semifinalists. We are asking all of you to stop by the cafeteria sometime this week and pick up an official ballot form and choose the name you like best. Please write your name on the ballot and vote only once. Thank you all in advance for your participation.
