Re: Doing our part
Dear Mr. Cobalt:
I'm writing to you to express my concern about Pascal's reputation as a wasteful company. I'm sure you read the recent letter to the editor in the Sydney Daily News regarding our non-recyclable plastic bottles and caps. Since the letter was printed, {{U}}(150) {{/U}} have received complaints from hundreds of customers who are threatening to boycott our company if we don't change our practices. We have also received flyers from {{U}}(151) {{/U}} manufacturing companies offering to help us become a more environmentally friendly company. ! have looked briefly into some of these options on my own time but would like to ask your permission to do more.
I would like {{U}}(152) {{/U}} 20 hours of my upcoming workweek to this cause in hopes of coming up with a viable plan for Pascal's future as a company that cares about recycling, I hope you will agree with me that our environment is worth us making an effort. Please respond as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Geraldine Bennett, Administrative Assistant
Pascal's Pharmaceuticals
