Jane Doe can help you with such matters as the continuation of your health plans and details of the severance package. We very much regret that we must take this step. With any luck we will be recalling some or all of you within the next few months. Until then, we wish you well in your endeavors.

It has become necessary for us to announce a temporary layoff of all of our production staff. Demand for our product has slowed, as it usually does at this time of year. Beginning November 25, the plant will be closed until January 2. Health insurance and other employee benefits will continue during the layoff. We expect to resume our normal production schedule in January. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of all our employees and anticipate working together again in the new year.
