Message for Analysis: Adapting to Cultural Differences

[LO-5] You are working in a culturally diverse organization in Dubai. Recently, employees from Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon were transferred to your department.

Your boss wants to send an email to all of them. The employees understand English, but your boss asks you to review his message for clarity. The email is as follows:

I wanted to welcome you ASAP to our little family here in Dubai. It is high time we shook hands in person and not just across countries. I am pleased about getting to know you all, and I will do my level best to see you well in Dubai. What changes would you suggest to your boss and why? Would you consider this message to be audience-centered? Why or why not?
