Answer 1

Solution:

To my fellow colleagues, It gives me immense pleasure to write to you today. The reason why I am writing to you today is that I will be on a sabbatical from next week for a period of 6 months and will be away from the workplace. I will not be working with you until complete my sabbatical. In my absence, I would want you to keep on doing the great work that we all have been doing so far and keep the values and principles of work enact. Do not let your principles of work be diluted and hence make sure to walk on the same footsteps we walked till today. Sticking to your principles and walking slowly on the right path may not look progressive for some of you but always remember it is the walk on the right path which matters the most and it is the only path which will lead you to the glory. I am extremely proud of you guys and the work that you people have done till today. The results will come by but what is more important is your commitment and hard work towards your goal and I am sure you guys will not let that enthusiasm fade away in my absence. I would definitely like to see you guys doing exceptionally well when I return back and I would be hopeful of hearing great news from you guys. Make me more proud. All the power to you guys. I take my leave, until next time,

Yours,
XYZ
