📄 【文章】E-mail from Café Manager

Subject: New Weekend Schedule

Dear Staff,

Starting next month, we will change the weekend work schedule at Sunny Café.
On Saturdays, the café will open one hour earlier at 8:00 a.m. to welcome more customers.
(1) On Sundays, we will close one hour earlier at 5:00 p.m. because it is usually a quiet day.

Please check your shifts on the updated schedule, which will be posted on the staff board this Friday.
(2) If you cannot work on your assigned day, contact me by e-mail at least three days before your shift.

Thank you for your cooperation.
— Emma, Café Manager
