I want to say “Thank you”

I wouldn't put that in quotes. It makes it seem fake. I think you can just "say thank you" or "express my gratitude."

A few spelling/grammar stuff to polish and make you look good:

It had been along time

along -> a long

While I appreciate you keeping

you -> your

I am asking that I receive two month’s

month's -> months'

It sounds good to me, Aims. I don't have much experience with these situations, though.

While I appreciate you keeping

you -> your

Actually, both are considered acceptable. (Grammarians fight over this rule constantly.) The other corrections are good, though.

It looks good, Aims. Best luck.

Do you need to trade the healthcare for the severance? Couldn't you have both? Also, do you get COBRA coverage?

I'm sure I do get COBRA, but it's so spendy.

so maybe not trade one for the other? I don't know. I worry!

Hi. My students are taking the MAP. I tried a new sleep medication -- Rozeram or Restoril or something like that.

Rozeram. I was taking it for a while, but discovered the hard way that I was a prime candidate for the "possible side effects of depression, lowered libido, and listlessness". You may want to watch out for those.

Actually, both are considered acceptable. (Grammarians fight over this rule constantly.)

Is there a battle? It's always been a weird thing, because it depends on whether you consider the -ing a gerund or a participle. In this case, I think it's the "keeping" that's important, the action, which would cause me to view it as an important gerund needing a adjectival modifier. On the other hand, you might want the focus to be put on the ExBoss, in that she appreciates him via his action of keeping, which describes him.

But I don't think Aimee cares.

I agree with Nora. Take out the part where you are will to trade the health insurance for severance. You deserve both.

I have changed it to: "in addition to keeping our health insurance."

sweet!
