Dear Employee Mr. Pluto-

We thank you for your services over the eons. As you know, the solar system has decided to go in a different direction, and as a result, your services will no longer be necessary. We do, however, have an alternate position available in the non-planet sector which may properly accomodate your new situation. In light of these new realities, many solar systems throughout the galaxy have been downsizing as well as outsourcing planetary positions to other solar systems where the economic realities make it easier for us to compete. As your skills as an iceball floating in the nether-regions of space become more commonplace, the need for such skills decrease. We understand the hardship that this may pose for you, and as a result are offering retraining at no cost to you for an asteroid-related position. Please accept our sincerest regrets.

Sincerely,

Planetary Resources
