(One day, Nicki, John's subordinate met with Boss)
Boss: John is very rude to me. He is giving me orders to work. Who he thinks he is?! I am the Boss.. Very rude...
Nicki: ........
MORAL OF THE STORY:
John should write like this:
To My Esteemed Boss,
I have the honour to reply to your brilliant question. In my humblest opinion, I have the pleasure to inform Your Esteemed Boss that Your Esteemed Boss is able to consult the HR Boss with regard to the assignment for the new staff.
I would like to bow down to say a million thanks for wasting your precious golden time.
Any harm caused in this email is deeply regretted.
With utmost respect from your humblest worker,
John
