RE: Hiya!
Heya! I'm your new finance head, Anna! Pleasure to meet you all!
We're not gonna waste time here. I looked over the books yesterday and they've been cooked. Bad. Our first step is to liquidate some assets to pay off the impending debts.
Marianne, I need you to sell our branch in Brigid. It isn't doing well and isn't worth the investment. Shop around buyers and bring me a list of people who are interested in purchasing the brand there. I'm open to a lot for the right price. Don't make offers we can't keep, but I'll handle to final negotiations.
Ashe, you need to give me a run down on all the specific brands we have and tell me what's doing successful and what isn't. We're cutting a lot of fat down here if we're going to keep this ship afloat.
Bernadetta, where are you. It's past opening and you aren't at your desk.

RE: Glad to have you
Good to finally meet you in person. Let's make it a habit for each day now.
I need you to comb through all of Rhea's emails. You're looking for every instance of her making financial transactions or even discussing company funds. If we can follow the money, we can get the police all they need to get us it back. It's a long shot, but we need to do it.
I know you're not comfortable being around this many people, so feel free to monopolize the small conference room. That should give you some privacy.
I'll check in with you in a few hours.

RE: RE: Report
It is attached below! Bear with me with how many parties were involved, this one was elaborate.
DATE: Tuesday, Ethereal Moon 3
PARTIES: Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd (DB), Hubert von Vestra (HV), Claude von Reigan (CR), Byleth Sothis Eisner (BE), Hilda Valentine Goneril (HG), Edelgard von Hresvelg (EH), Flayn Cethleann (FC), Marianne von Edmund (ME)
DATE PROCESSED: Tuesday, Ethereal Moon 3
HG went into HV's office and started shouting. Those nearby claimed she was shouting about HV making ME upset a few days ago. HG and ME are dating, their relationship approved by HR. HV responded that he had no idea what she was talking about.
At the same time, CR and BE were told by FC that DB had been kidnapped by HV. They entered his office while HG and HV had left, shouting at each other. They found DB in a closet within HV's office. According to them, he was sitting and crying. BE claimed the two 'hugged it out' and CR apologized for being mean earlier and said something about a coffee cup.
At this time EH came out of her office and pulled HV away from HG as the latter slapped him. She brought him into her office and began to loudly discipline him, yelling about an 'incident'.

RE: Laydown
So, he's the deal.
I've got a buyer for our Brigid branch. I've worked with them before, they're giving us a fair price and letting us maintain our brand integrity, that is they're taking the clients and we're keeping the name and all related licensing. With your permission, I'll pull the trigger.
Ashe dug up a few other tethers of the company that are sinking this ship. I'll meet with you tomorrow morning sharp to work through how to cut the dead weight.
Bernadetta is still sifting through emails from Rhea's account. We haven't found anything conclusive yet, but we did find communication between her and the janitor. We'll be looking into this.
Overall, it is my analysis that your company can be saved. You were smart to come to Anna International for help. Consider your company safe.
