Things we do at The Firm: play random "word games" via the internal email network. Following a conversation this afternoon at lunch about me checking out another woman's ample chest, the game began. The challenge: to use the word of the day 3 times in an email to a random 3rd party recipient. Can you figure out what the word is?

D1's email to D2:

D2,
I was shown your sms by C about the ample abuse that is heaped on you.
Let me take this opportunity to tell you i sympathise and am sorry for your predicament. As C said, among us, you are probably one of the most hard working ple around as you devote a large and ample amount of your time to your work and your craft and the abuse is uncalled for.
Take ample strength in the knowledge that you are well regarded by your peers.
Take care bro
.

My email to M:

Dear M,
I cannot amply express how helpful you have been on this matter to me, especially since I did not have a secretary at the time. Your ample effort in overseeing siti as she put together the bundles as well as your help when I had to make an application for extension of time will always be appreciated. I can only hope that sab will have ample opportunity to work with you and to learn how our team handles liti matters.
The Girl
N's email to D2:

Dear D2,
I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate the ample help you've given me over the past 8 months. Your ample guidance has been invaluable, especially during the first few months when I was still trying to find my feet.
I sincerely hope we won't lose you like how we're losing D1.
Take heart in the fact that we have ample regard for you and your abilities, and I hope you keep your spirits up.

N.
And finally C's email to Superman (and arguably the most subtle of the lot!):

Yo bro
Just giving you a run down of what happened at the PTC today.
Customs Prosecutor, Gurmit Singh, asked for a further 4 week adjournment. As instructed, I didn't object or even make a face. The next PTC date is on 10 September 2008, 9am.
This should provide ample time for the customs officials get back to us. I was told by Gurmit Singh that the file had been passed to the AGC and that he was briefed by the IO that they should get a reply from the US by then. At least it's a sign that things are moving in the right direction.
I told the clients this and they reiterated the need for a definitive answer to be reached. The fact that the AGC had taken the file seemed to leave them amply satisfied but I did remind them that just because we were expecting a response from the AGC didn't mean that the response would be good.
Gurmit Singh said that he would get someone from the AGC to contact us (meaning you). If you don't hear anything from them soon, you might want to chase them somewhat.
C.
p.s. I am pleased to inform you that there is now an ample supply of chocolate in my room. Feel free to come by.
If nothing else, I think this takes procrastination to a whole different level.
