本文
Memo: Mandatory Software Training
To all department staff: As you know, our company will switch to a new project-management system at the beginning of next month. To make sure everyone is ready, we have arranged a series of training sessions that all employees must attend.
Each session will last about two hours and will be held in the third-floor conference room. During the training, an instructor from the software company will show you how to create tasks, share files, and track deadlines. You will also have time to practice on your own computer and ask questions.
Because the sessions have limited seats, please sign up for the time that works best for you using the link in this email. If none of the listed times suit your schedule, contact your supervisor, who will arrange an alternative.
After completing the training, every employee will receive a short guide and a certificate. We ask that you keep the guide at your desk so that you can refer to it during the first few weeks.
We understand that learning a new system takes time, but we believe this tool will make our daily work much smoother. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience.

構文
長い文を意味のまとまりで区切り、各部分の役割を見る。
To make sure everyone is ready, we have arranged a series of training sessions that all employees must attend.
修飾To make sure everyone is ready目的の to 不定詞
主語we主語
述語have arranged現在完了
目的語a series of training sessions目的語
節that all employees must attend目的語を修飾する関係節
文頭の「To make sure ...」は目的を表す to 不定詞句で「~するために」です。「make sure (that) everyone is ready」では that が省略されています。目的語「sessions」の後の関係節「that all employees must attend」はそのセッションを限定します。ここの that は attend の目的語となる関係代名詞です。
If none of the listed times suit your schedule, contact your supervisor, who will arrange an alternative.
節If none of the listed times suit your schedule条件節(none of)
述語contact your supervisor命令文
節, who will arrange an alternative非制限関係節(コンマ+who)
条件節「If none of the listed times suit ...」の「none of + 複数」は「どれも~ない」という全否定です。主節は命令文「contact your supervisor」で、その後のコンマ「, who ...」は非制限関係節で、前の supervisor を補足説明します。「上司に連絡してください、そうすれば代替を手配します」。コンマ付きの who は限定ではなく情報を付け加える用法です。
