 Good Day Student,

An assigned superior will be directed to issue you the paycheck for the office supplies when due. You are to make a deposit as soon as you receive it so your hiring paperwork can be processed and forwarded to the office of academic affairs on time. The funds will cover the expenses for the purchase of the office items needed for this position. I looked at your academic records and It was proven that you have no criminal records with the school and that has prompted my decision to have the paycheck for the office supplies issued to you for the purchase of these items. Further instructions will be sent to your email and a paycheck will be attached. A physical meeting will be scheduled on Next week where I shall provide more details about what is expected of you. I trust that you will take these engagements very seriously and with commitment.
