You'll have to process information related to the sales your company generated last month, and turn that into a nicely formatted PDF report that you'll then send by email so that your boss can look at it. The lab machine has email configured so that you can check your resulting emails through a nice webmail interface that's already up and running.
The system that you'll work with already includes some scripts that will do part of the work for you. You'll need to put these pieces together to get the result you want, basing your code on the one that's already there.
