Subject：Promotion

Dear Jack，

I want you to know that I understand your disappointment at not receiving the promotion you wanted. While you have proven your worth as a contributing, effective member of our team, Mary's greater number of years in the company, in addition to her experience working on the Smith project, combined to make her the leading candidate for the job.

Please keep in mind that opportunities for advancement will come again. If you continue to be as productive and resourceful as you have been in the past, I see a bright future ahead of you.

Regards，

主题：晋升

亲爱的杰克：

我理解你对未能晋升一事的失望之情。作为我们团队中有贡献、有影响的一员，你已经证明了你的价值。然而，玛丽有在史密斯项目中的工作经验，且有更长一些的工作年限。二者综合，使她成为这个职位的首要人选。

请记住，晋升的机会还会再有。如果你能一如既往地卓有成效和足智多谋，你的前途将会一片光明。

此致

敬礼！
