Subject: Purchase of a Microwave Oven

1. Introduction

At the monthly staff meeting on Wednesday, 26 November 2009, you requested information about the possible purchase of a microwave oven. I would now like to present these details.

2. Background

Since the move to the new office in Kowloon Bay, the staff has difficulty in finding a nearby place to buy lunch.

3. Advantages

Providing a microwave oven in the pantry would enable staff to bring in their own lunchboxes and reheat their food. Also, staff members are less likely to return to work late after lunch.

4. Staff Opinion

A survey found that staff would like to use the microwave oven.

5. Cost

Details of suitable models are given below: Brand Model Price

Philip M903 $136

Sharpe R-3R29 $108

Sony 6145 X $124

6. Request

If this meets with your approval, we would appreciate it if you could authorize up to $15 for the purchase of the microwave oven.
