Subject: David Adams - Status Update

Dear John,

I know that you and the rest of my friends at work have probably been wondering why I have
been out of the office so much during the last couple of weeks. I have been undergoing some
tests to evaluate the symptoms that I’ve been experiencing. They have found that I will need
some treatments, and I am scheduled to begin those next weeks.

During the next few months, I will likely need to reduce my workload a bit, and I have already
discussed this with our management. They have arranged for me to be able to work from home,
and reduce my hours here in the office until my medical issues are resolved. They have been
incredibly understanding and supportive, and I believe that I’ll be back full time before you all
start to miss me too much.

I am letting you know because we have a long standing relationship, and I regard you as a friend.
I’m not comfortable talking about my illness with the whole of the office. I would appreciate it if
you would only share the necessary facts with anyone who might inquire.

I appreciate your friendship, and your discretion. Feel free to keep me in the loop over the next
few weeks. I’ll be checking email, and you can always reach me by phone.

Best regards,

David
