E-mail One
To: Tom
Subject line: Talent Reallocation
Tom,
This e-mail is in reference to the two employees who are going to be terminated Friday. We have determined that they are Nicole Stone and Lorenzo Torres. As we discussed yesterday, their performances are not on par with those of other employees in the accounting department; interventions with these employees have not been successful in helping them improve their performance. Let’s plan to meet with them individually in the conference room between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.
Thanks,
Andrea

The subject line does not match what the body of the email explains. It can confuse the person that is receiving the email and not be aware of how serious this email can be because of the title.
I think this is email is approved for a workplace setting. It gives all the information needed and grammar is good.
Rewrite e-mail if necessary
