Re: VTP Offer - Global Services Delivery (GSD)/ North America Field Services - February 18, 2008 to March 15, 2008 (last day on roll)

Global Services Delivery (GSD)/North America Field Services are offering a Voluntary Termination Pay (VTP) Offer today, February 18, 2008.

I have attached the Voluntary Termination Pay (VTP) Offer that each employee (Senior Technician, Technical Systems Assembler, Field Operations Material Handler and Staging Technician) in designated GCAs will receive.

I have also provided you the list of GCAs to be offered the VTP.
