4th of July Email to Coworkers

Subject: Happy 4th of July!!

Today is the 4th of July, also known as Independence Day in the States, when Americans celebrate the country's independence from Great Britain. The day is a national holiday and people generally celebrate with picnics or barbecues, going to parades, and watching amazing fireworks shows at night. Unfortunately customs confiscated our fireworks, and TJ and I are limited in our ability to pull off a 10-gun salute. So, we decided to celebrate with all of you by offering the most American of desserts – apple pie and cheddar cheese! 

Yes, apple pie and cheese. It's one of those odd things most Americans have read about at some point but never tried. Apparently the saying goes "an apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze" (I'm not making this up). As ambassadors of American culture we wouldn't want to give you anything less than the full experience, so this afternoon TJ and I invite you all to join us for apple pie with a side of cheddar cheese.

The more adventurous individuals can join me in melting their cheddar cheese on top of the pie. :)

Cheers,

Jess

[Editor's Note: Only one person refused cheese, and we think he might be vegan. Of the remainder, a full half of them melted cheese on top. Including TJ and I. And it is, in fact, delicious.]

[Second Editor's Note: Everybody thought that I was serious about the fireworks.]
