To : All staff From : sato-m@iptrend.com Subject : New Face in Accounting : Miki Sato Hello. I am Miki Sato, the new face you may have seen in Accounting. Today is my first day at ipTREND. I am expected to begin my new position at ipTREND. I do know that I have many things to learn, things to do, and I am sure that I will have many questions as I get used to the accounting system here. I hope that I can count on your help. At my previous job I was an accountant at a small design office in Kyoto. I worked there for six years, while studying for the CPA exam at night school. Last summer I passed it and decided to apply my skills in a larger company. I look forward to having the challenges and opportunities available to me at ipTREND. In the coming weeks, I hope to put some faces with all the names I have seen. Regards, Miki Sato Accounting [Check point 1] Be friendly, yet professional !
