Hi [Recipient First Name],
I am thinking of implementing an Employee Incentive Program to show our employees we care about them. I would like to surprise them and put a smile on their faces today. Can we purchase some cards (Walmart/Target) from the store?
Reply and let me know how soon you can get this done and which of the cards you can easily buy at the store. Keep this surprise package confidential until we give it out to them.
Thanks,
