Subject: December ads for XXX
There is enough space in the December issue of XXX to give each of you full-page ad space for your usual promotions. I am going to re-use your most recent ad UNLESS you notify me and xxx that you have changes.
Please let me know if the latest ad is OK to use; any changes or a "No, thank you" are asked to be given today.
Thanks.

Sounds like the type of conversation I tend to have with a few employees. One lady will wait till I'm in ear shot and will say, "It's Tara's fault!" Course I love that. And if I start asking her for a favor, she'll say "No" before I even get the favor out. Office humor is fun. :D
That is so great. Thank god there are some funny people at your office...Besides you, of course.
Ha! That is charming.
ha ha ha ha ha ! I always use the jimmies line too! That's great.
