From: Ali Haider, Director of Travel and Meeting Services
To: AZ Venture Traveling Executives
Subject: Travel Budget Cuts Effective Immediately
We need to start making some budget cuts in our travel expenditures. These include staying
in cheaper hotels, arranging flights for cheaper times, and renting more reasonable cars.
The company needs to cut travel expenses by 25 percent. This means you’ll no longer stay in
fancy hotels and make last minute, costly changes to your travel plans.
Never return a rental car with an empty tank! That causes the rental agency to charge us a
premium price for the gas they sell when they fill it up upon your return.
You’ll be expected to make these changes in your travel habits immediately. Travel
allowances will reflect the 25% reduction. In the future, any expenses beyond the allowance
will come out of your own pockets.
