I’d like to give you a situation and ask you to act it out. You’ve just been told that your current boss is leaving the company. Call your boss and leave a message, asking three or four questions about the situation.

Hello, boss. I heard that you would quit the company. It is a shame that you leave this company. But, I suppose this is your decision. So, I hope you will get the new lives.

I am calling you because I would like to ask a few questions before you leave.

First, do you have any remaining tasks? You were in progress on a project, and I guess an additional employee has to be replaced.

The last point is which I want you to answer a question why will you quit? I don’t mean to be nosy, but I would like to know the reason to make improvements to our company.

Hi, I do not want to say this, but I got something that I have to do at the company. So, I suppose that I cannot take part in the party. That is a shame (it is too bad). So, I want to give you alternative suggestions for the party.

First, the suggestion is that we enjoy the party after I finish work. But, everyone has to wait for me, meaning spending time,

Second, you enjoy the party without me. Instead of which I do not attend in the party, I will record a voice message and send it to you.
