documents: #Person1#: Amelia, could you spare a few minutes?
  #Person2#: sure. What do you need?
  #Person1#: well, I wanted to let you know that I've put in my notice.
  #Person2#: really? Why?
  #Person1#: it's complicated. But basically it boils down to one thing. This company is downsizing and I can't continue working for a company that may let me go.
  #Person2#: but surely they won't fire you! You're one of the most experienced managers here!
  #Person1#: well, to be honest, there's another reason. I've got a better offer.
  #Person2#: well that's great news! Congratulations! Where will you be located?
  #Person1#: the head office is in New York, but I'll be dealing with overseas companies and flying to this side of the world from time to time.
  #Person2#: it'll be sad to see you go, but it sounds like you're found yourself a great opportunity.
  #Person1#: I have. I feel lucky. I look forward to dealing with overseas companies and at the same time having a chance to use English more.
  #Person2#: I'm sorry to bring this up, but would it be possible for you to write me a letter of recommendation before you go?
  #Person1#: of course I can. In fact, if there are other job opportunities at this new company, I'll recommend you personally.
  #Person2#: thanks. I appreciate that.
