Subject: Season's Greetings/Restrictions

From all of corporate at Santonian Mining, we want to wish our employees very happy holidays, and congratulate you on another 
stellar year working at the cutting edge of modern ore and mineral extraction!

As a member of the SMC family, your work and dedication play an integral role in our mission of building a better future and a positive, prosperous tomorrow for all mankind. There have been many challenges this year, and your management team is not blind to the issues facing us over the next few months. It is imperative that each and every employee focuses on their work and pulls together to achieve the common goal. You must make these final few weeks of the year really count. Double down on your hours, commit yourself to ideals that SMC aspires to, and let's realize our true potential together.

We have launched a task force to investigate reports of a virus spreading among workers at lower depths. While we have found some isolated cases, the outbreak is mostly contained and cases are limited to a small, more vulnerable subset of our workforce. Despite what you may have heard, the situation is very much under control. The vast majority of you should fear no threat from the virus, and indeed will likely be asymptomatic. The NAM-V virus poses no threat to you, or to your health.

Even with such minimal risk, let us assure you that we have the highest quality medical staff on hand to deal with any issues you may face. There is nowhere on earth you can be better taken care of than here with your Santonian family. While the NAM-V virus is still new to us and we have much to learn about it, any claims that the virus can cause depression, self-harm, or any disturbing psychotic episodes are misleading and incorrect. You have nothing to fear from NAM-V. We will defeat it, together.

To that end, you too have a responsibility to help contain the spread. With your dedication to social distancing, mandatory sanitary procedures, and speedy, decisive isolation of victims of this irritating, but ultimately harmless, virus. We have increased our mental care facilities and extended sick leave to those who need it, and will continue to help our family as long as necessary, even if the virus should take them out of commission for a few days here and there. We are ready to help you get back to work quickly, and stronger than ever.

Onwards and downwards!
