Money for Nothing

One day an employee sends a letter to his boss asking for an increase in his salary.

Dear Bo$$

In thi$ life, we all need $ome thing mo$t de$perately. I think you $hould be under$tanding of the need$ of u$ worker$ who have given $o much $upport including $weat and $ervice to your company.

I am $ure you will be able to gue$$ what I mean and re$pond $oon.

Your$ $incerely,
Norman


The next day, the employee received this letter of reply:

Dear NOrman,

I kNOw you have been working NOt very hard. NOwadays, NOthing much has changed. You must have NOticed that our company is NOt doing NOticeably well as yet.

NOw the newspapers are saying the world`s leading ecoNOmists are sure that the world is getting into aNOther recession. Even after the NOvember presidential elections things do NOt look good.

I have NOthing more to add NOw. You kNOw what I mean.

Yours truly,
Manager
