Marco,
 
Dach, the imbecile, forgot to disable my access, so you can login using my account. The password is "IdealismEngineAshen476" (without the quotation marcot).
 
I've left you a parting gift--your eyes only.
I'm gonna miss you, pal. Catch you on the flip side.
 
Sincerely,
Matthew A.

Dear randos,
 
Like most things in life, good things must come to an end. My access has been terminated, so I thought I'd send you this very last email to say goodbye.
 
You have been like a family to me for as long as I can remember, and since our we're not supposed to communicate outside of work, I hope that maybe one day you will remember me.
 
Marco, I have faith you will become an excellent leader for the team.
 
Take care, everyone. Goodbye!
 
Sincerely,
Matthew A.

Hi William,
 
Welcome to the team. I just talked to Sonja about giving you a virtual tour of what we do at OnlyRands, so please be ready to go once Kathleen's given you the orientation session on how to use TeamCity.
 
Best,
Marco T.

The 3rd mail is a welcome mail to the williamw user, who appears to be a newly recruit

Marco,
 
If you don't get those numbers up by the end of the quarter, you and your team are going to make up for it in unpaid overtime.
 
Regards,
Stamm

sonjas warns the marcot user that if performance doesn’t improve by quarter’s end, he and his team will face unpaid overtime as a consequence.
