To: Kenji Tanaka <k.tanaka@techgen.com> From: Maria Lee <m.lee@techgen.com> Date: September 9 Subject: Employee of the Year Nomination Dear Kenji, I hope you're having a productive week. I was reading the latest issue of *Hiroshima Business Monthly* and saw their call for nominations for the annual Innovator Awards. This reminded me of the fantastic work Akari Yamada has been doing in our department. I strongly believe we should nominate her for the Employee of the Year award. Her leadership on the recent "SmartHome Hub" software update was instrumental to its success, and she consistently goes above and beyond to support her colleagues. She is an ideal candidate. I am happy to prepare the necessary submission materials, but I wanted to discuss it with you first to get your thoughts. The process requires a letter of recommendation from a direct supervisor, which would be you. Please let me know what you think when you have a moment. Best regards, Maria Lee Senior Marketing Manager
