One day an employee sends a letter to his boss asking for an increase in his salary!!!
   
Dear Bo$$
 
 
 
   In thi$ life, we all need  $ome thing  mo$t de $perately. I think you  $hould be under$tanding of the need$ of u$ worker$ who have given $o much $upport including $weat and  $ervice to your company.
 
I am  $ure you will  gue$$ what I mean and  re$pond $oon.
 
Your$  $incerely,
 
 
 
Norman  $oh     
 
 

  The next day, the employee received this letter of reply:


 
Dear  NOrman,
 
 
 
   I  kNOw  you have been working very hard. NOwadays, NOthing much has changed. You must have  NOticed that our company is NOt doing NOticeably well as yet.
 
NOw the newspaper are saying the world`s leading ecoNOmists are NOt sure if the United States may go into aNOther recession. After the NOvember presidential elections things may turn bad.
 
I have NOthing more to add  NOw. You kNOw what I mean.
