How should an unsigned letter of complaint and malice be addressed in a work setting?
Q. This letter is the second letter received. This letter is really a letter of defamation.

A. This is an interesting question that really can t be answered without more information. If you are the HR representative and this was given to you as a complaint about how an employee is being treated by another employee, then you must formally investigate the person being accused as if it were an anonymous tip. If this is a harassing letter being sent to you directly, then you should take it up with HR. To simply dismiss the allegations as Malice and deformation sets the company up for a law suit. It sounds like there is some interoffice bias by the wording of your question. Stating that this is the second letter indicates that someone feels very strongly about what is said, and is unsatisfied by the actions taken so far. … [cont.]

What kind of letter would that be and to whom would i direct it towards?
Q. I am leaving for Marines boot camp and i was told before i leave i have to write a letter to a board explaining my leave of absence. The reason is they have given me a scholarship. If anyone knows what kind of letter this would be called and what kind of direction i would take it that would be a great help. Thanks to all.

A. It sounds like you will be losing your scholarship unless you write this letter asking them to hold on to it for you until you return for your studies. Just tell them that...I'm going into the Marines, I'll be on active duty status with them for X number of years, and I'd really appreciate the college holding on to my scholarship until I return.

A. A "derangment" is a permutation of elements such that each element is placed in a spot different from it's original position. Derangement numbers grow very quickly according to a recursive relationship. Like many problems in combinations and permutations, it must be pre-defined what the number of derangements is when n = 0. As such, mathematics defines the number to be 1. So, If n = 0, it is defined that there is one way to "derange" the available elements (since there are none, it must just be defined, like 0!). If n = 1, it is impossible to derange the 1 item. From there, the formula for calculating the number for derangements goes as follows: Let X(n) be the number of ways to derange n elements. X(0) = 1, X(1) = 0, and: X(n) = (n-1) * [cont.]
