Uh. PR email. Uh.
Good morning.
You see? 'What's the problem, boss?' It's from Vauban, Voice. 'Oh.' And they normally work with Lucky, don't they? 'Oh, Christ.' Yeah. 'Well, just copy and paste from the covering email first.' All right.
Please find attached a 1st press release regarding the appointment of six experts, over the last six months, in the Vauban IP teams in order to bolster the team and support the company's growing operations.
Among these 6 experts, you will meet Gwen Colin, newly appointed ESG Director of the Group and Rothman Valencia Mazola, appointed ESG Officer. Their new roles are described in a 2nd press release which goes into more detail on Vauban IP's ESG strategy and the creation of a dedicated ESG team.
Two press releases! Two PDFs! Can you believe these guys?!
Wishing you a pleasant reception.
Oh, yeah, sure. Two PDFs!!! 'They're taking the piss!'
We remain at your disposal for any further information or exchanges with the Vauban teams.
Best,
Estelle

All he does is talk and think, and he doesn't understand a word of it. He's an idiot. He's worse than The Voice. 'Oh, thanks!' Ha! Only joking, man.
Okay, well, look ... we'll take a chance with the first PDF. 'It's your funeral, boss.' And yours, idiot.
Here we go ...
