Dear J: 1999-10-04
Hi [J].
Just getting ready to make some lunch. This morning has been quite a challenge on the software front. Some of the infrastructure components that my software package relies upon, were modified last week. But the changes made by numerous other groups in our organization were not effectively communicated to the rest of us. So, this morning, our build processes failed miserably. 
But all the changes in my stuff needed to support these infrastructure modifications have been made and the builds have completed successfully for this week. Life is good.
How’s your day going?
Later,
Tom Hesley
