Task 3

1. They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say goodbye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.

2. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO.

3. The message read, "Blame your predecessor." So, the new CEO held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.

4. The message read, "Reorganize." The new CEO did it, and the company quickly rebounded.

5. The message said, "Prepare three envelopes." It implied that it was time for Carl to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.
