Or......
Dear Friends, as you are aware there is only one party to negotiate with now so we respectfully suggest that you bring along a large tub of vaseline to work should you find that you are fortunate enough to be gainfully employed in the coming period.
Rest assured that your management team will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that we are able to maintain our earnings ability throughout the forthcoming period of cost re-alignment.
Sincerely Yours....
