I got a bonus once: a card thanking me for the donation made in my name to the CEO's favorite charity.

Ronaldo,

don't think so as they will be confused,

they won't know what or who AIG or Lehman is to start with,

won't know what a bonus is, they will think something along the lines of a coupon to Macys.........

won't know what .5B is? They will think it is like 50 bucks or something.......

etc,

S
