SUBJECT:  We're Looking for the Winner of [COMPANY NAME]'s
Motivation Award

Winners accept challenges with determination, perseverance, and stamina.  Take the example of the man whose life took the following turns before he reached his goal: he failed at a business, was defeated for the legislature, failed again in business, suffered the loss of a love, had a nervous breakdown, was defeated in an election, was defeated for Congress three times in five years, was defeated for the Senate, was defeated for the office of vice president, and was defeated for the Senate one last time.

Abraham Lincoln's struggle to overcome obstacles continued right up until the time he was elected President of the United States.  He serves as an excellent model for success.  Today, I announce a search for the best among us--the employees with the winning, often contagious, attitude to make themselves and [COMPANY NAME] better every day.  Winners receive [ LIST WHAT AWARD RECIPIENT RECEIVES].

We have so many excellent employees that management alone cannot choose the recipient of [COMPANY NAME]'s prestigious motivational award.  We need your help.  Therefore, you will soon receive a nomination form that you can use to vote for a peer who demonstrates presidential drive.  Thank you for your daily support, which allows our company to be the success we all want it to be.
