RE: Continued results of proposal loss
Recently, a memo was distributed to all personnel, regarding the loss of the [Name of contract] to [Name of competitor] and it's possible repercussions including possible layoffs. With much regret, we are announcing that layoffs are imminent and notifications will be sent out to [Number of laid off employees] employees who are affected at the beginning of next week.

Please be advised that we are doing everything possible to keep cutbacks to a minimum while keeping the company solvent.

In order keep costs to a minimum, all expense and order requests will be carefully reviewed by the department supervisor. Also, please be advised that the company is not in danger of folding immediately. It is true that we are in the process of restructuring the operations and production of the company, but only so that we don't find ourselves on precarious ground.
Please refrain from spreading or participating in unwanted rumors which frequently stray from the truth. We will keep all of the employees informed to minimize any surprises. Your understanding, cooperation, and patience is greatly appreciated during these trying times.
