 Dear Nikhil, 
 As you know, we have made various changes to the U.S. International Assignment Policy in 2005. This letter will inform you of the

 As a reminder, the new policy eliminates the
foreign-service premium, institutes a car norm and makes adjustments to the goods and services and hardship allowances to correspond to current published tables. For your reference, the attached personalized transition statement will provide a
comparison of provisions under both the current and new policies.
