Dear Mr. Newell:

Enclosed is the feasibility report, completed April 24, 2013, regarding the theft and drug use concerns at your company. This report includes the research, alternative solutions and recommendations following the problem analysis dated April 2, 2013.

The facility inspection and interviews conducted on all personnel presently employed at your company were beneficial to our research. The hiring of an off-site security team at the behalf of our firm’s request was significant in determining the extent of the problem. Through research conducted by the security team and me, it was discovered that the stealing of company property was a major concern. The drug screen test conducted by the security team identified the personnel possibly involved in the theft. Internal research and external research showed that an extensive background check on prospective employees and an installed security system will greatly reduce possible theft within the company. In addition, a random drug screen at each quarter can be a deterrent for further drug use by employees.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 555-555-5555.

Sincerely,

 

Salvador Fuller

Senior Consultant

DEFECTIVE GRILL

 

Dear Mr. Darwin:

I purchased a grill from Bass Pro Shops on May 2, 2013. Your employee XXXX XXXX assisted me and told me it was the best one on the market. I bought the grill on his word and tried it out on our family camping trip on May 5, 2013. From the beginning I knew something was wrong. The installed starter would not light the grill. I had to light a match and drop it in to light the grill. While grilling the hamburger, I realized the grill was not producing enough heat to cook the meat thoroughly. It seemed that the grill was only producing enough gas in to keep a flame but not enough to produce the heat needed to cook the meat.

When I bought the grill, I was told that it had a one year warranty on it. I would just like to exchange the grill for one that works properly. If it is not a problem I would like to pick up my new grill next weekend.

I have enclosed copies of my receipts. Please contact me and let me know when I can return the defected grill and pick up a new one. My phone number is 757-555-5555.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

 

XXX XXXX
