Colleagues:

On Wednesday, July 2, 2008, AP will host the visit of the Foreign Minister of Iran here at headquarters.  The visit will take place between the hours of 8:30am and 10:30am.  The VIP will be accompanied by armed security.  For security reasons, all personnel are requested to pay particular attention to displaying your pictured AP identification badge while traversing AP space.  In addition, personnel should expect elevator delays in the morning due to the availability of three elevators versus the normal four for upper level floors.

I apologize for any inconvenience these actions may cause during the aforementioned visit.  Your patience is appreciated.

Of course nobody bothers to tell us who the guest of honor is, but we suspect it is Manouchehr Mottaki.  I am of course, looking forward to the traffic jam it will cause in the morning.  Also this means I have to find a way to display my ID which sports a nice sticker of Pluto (the dog) instead of my face.
