Re: Employee Letter of Concern

To: Tom Thompson

From: Marvin Edelmann

Re: Warehouse Safety Concern

 

Dear Tom:

 

I am writing because I want to go on record with this: I am concerned about the safety of the forklifts in the warehouse.

 

These machines are more than 10 years old and should be replaced, both because they are unreliable and because I believe them to be unsafe for anyone driving them. Compared with newer forklifts, ours are easy to overbalance; those of us who have been driving them for a while are used to their load limitations, but I am finding that our newer employees, who are used to more modern equipment, are prone to overload the machines. Although each new warehouse employee’s orientation includes training on the forklifts, I think it is time we invested in some new technology.

 

I would be happy to pull together some recommendations and pricing for replacing the existing equipment. Let me know if you would like that information. In the meantime, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this matter.

 

Sincerely,

 

Marvin Edelmann

Dear Mr. Pritchard:

 

Thank you for your letter of January 25 in which you stated that you had received an incomplete kit of our Danish Modern bookshelves. I understand your frustration at finding an incomplete package of hardware in the set and appreciate your drawing our attention to this error.

 

When we received your letter, we immediately checked our inventory to ascertain how this problem happened. Our warehouse foreman discovered that the hardware packets for the Danish Modern style of shelving had been mixed in with packets for a similar style of shelving. Unfortunately, the wrong packet was sent with your order. Needless to say, we have sorted out the hardware so that this will not happen again.

 

Our warehouse has shipped a complete set of hardware to your address, which you should have received by now. You should be able to complete construction of the bookshelves with no further difficulty.

 

I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the incomplete shipment and assure you that this error is not typical of Build-It Furniture. I hope we can count on your continued business for all your future furniture needs.

Dear Mr. Pritchard:

 

It has been nearly a month since I responded to your letter regarding a problem with your assembly kit for Danish Modern bookshelves. Since we have not heard back from you, can I assume that you received the additional hardware, your shelves are assembled and you are happy with the results?

 

I certainly hope the answer to the above question is yes. At Build-It Furniture, we work hard to ensure that our customers are satisfied with our products, and I was concerned to see you had a problem with the shipment you received. As you know, we took measures not only to resolve the issue you had but to ensure that this error would not be repeated.

 

I hope that we can count on your business in the future and that you will let me know personally if you have experienced any further problems with your original order.

As you may have guessed, RF Kind & Sons has been looking for ways to cut costs. One of the areas we have researched is the packaging for our shipments, including the various boxes you supply for us. We have found that we can save considerable money by switching to a new type of bagged packaging, which is available from Taiwan.

 

We plan to change over to this new packaging as soon as possible. We will order one or two more shipments of your boxes to ensure that our needs are covered until we can make the change, but after that, I regret to say that we will no longer need any of your products.

 

We have enjoyed a long and satisfactory relationship with Corrugated Cardboard, and I would like to thank you and everyone who has worked on our account for your excellent work.  I wish you luck in the future.

Dear Mr. Matamoros:

 

I am writing to ask you to help me sort out some confusion over payments due to your company.

 

This week I received an All-Coil bill for an order of 3-inch coils that totals $2,460. I cannot find our corresponding purchase order for these materials and have no record of receiving them. It is possible that these items were back ordered and were part of a larger order, but I cannot find any evidence that we owe you payment on shipments received last year.

 

Please check your records of this payment and let me know if this invoice is viable. If so, I will need copies of the appropriate purchase order or order form and the packing slip.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Dear Ms. Shepard:

 

A good cup of tea can calm you down after a hard day or perk you up with a much-needed energy boost. But sadly, most American grocery stores do not carry top-quality teas that make preparing and enjoying this drink such a pleasure. These mass-processed teas only hint at the full flavor and effects of a true tea.

 

Stock your tea selection with fresh, top-quality teas from Special Teas Inc. and enjoy carefully prepared, hand-processed teas fresh from their country of origin. Impress your visitors with the diverse selection and full flavor of your Special Teas. Try new flavors that are not available in grocery stores.

 

Now, when you sign up for our Teas by Mail program, you can sample some of the best teas from around the world without leaving your home. You will automatically receive a new package of exotic tea in the mail each month. It is convenient, enrollment is simple, and you will always have plenty of tea on hand. So sign up today and receive your first packet of tea in April.

Hardesty Construction

63 S. Fulton St., Suite 340

Mt. Prospect, IL 62118

 

Dear Ms. Mueller:

 

Most offices the size of Hardesty Construction spend too much on ink cartridges for printers, copiers and fax machines. This can become a major expense, as employees often have little regard for saving ink when they are printing or copying.

 

But you can save money on this line item by contracting with Business Ink to supply all your ink cartridge needs. We offer the lowest prices available on all brands and models of ink cartridges for businesses of all sizes.

 

Here are a few of the benefits of buying your ink cartridges from Business Ink:

 

  • Save 20 to 40 percent on your ink cartridges when you sign a year’s contract.
  • Get the ink cartridges you need when you need them—delivered right to your door.
  • Stop searching for hard-to-find cartridges. We stock most brands and models and guarantee that we can find anything we do not carry.

 

To reap these benefits, simply fill out the enclosed contract form and mail it back in the stamped envelope. One of our sales representatives will call you to confirm your needs and begin the service.

 

Do not miss out on these substantial savings! Sign up with Business Ink today.

 

Sincerely,

Laura L. Anderson

Director of Sales

Medi-Stock Inc.

592 Wells St.

Topeka, KS 66921

 

Dear Ms. Anderson:

 

Occupational Health Inc. has been ordering medical supplies from your company regularly for 6 months now. Since we placed our first order with you for $2,300 in sterilization equipment, we have paid for every shipment either in advance or, on rare occasions, upon delivery, spending a total of $24,750 to date.

 

From this point forward, we would prefer to be billed for our Medi-Stock orders. Therefore, I am requesting that you open a $10,000 line of credit for Occupational Health Inc., allowing us to move to a payment-on-invoice system.

 

If you require further information or references on our company, I would be happy to supply anything you need. You can contact me at 555.555.5555 or fax a credit application to my attention at 555.555.5555.

 

Thank you in advance for your help with this matter.

 

Sincerely,

Medi-Stock Inc.

592 Wells St.

Topeka, KS 66921

 

Dear Mr. Garcia:

 

Occupational Health Inc. has a standard line of credit with your company and we have been customers in good standing for nearly a year now.

 

I am writing because our recent expansion will affect our future orders and, I hope, our future payment method. Beginning next month, we will require approximately twice as many medical supplies as we have ordered in the past. I realize that the increased size and price of each order will cause us to exceed our current line of credit. Therefore, I would like to request that you extend our line of credit to a total of $50,000.

 

I would like to point out that Occupational Health Inc. has an excellent financial record, and I would be happy to provide any information you need to approve this increase. You can contact me at 555.555.5555 or fax a credit application to my attention at 555.555.5555.

On May 12, our company will hold its annual sales meeting, when approximately 125 salespeople from around the country will come to Columbus to hear about the company’s status, learn what is in store for the coming year and receive training on our new and upcoming products.

Would you be willing to give a short presentation on the planning and development process behind the debut of the LF-12 horizontal milling machine?

 

Please let me know if you are willing and able to speak on May 12. Your presentation would be approximately 15 minutes and would take place between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. I would be happy to discuss this with you and answer any questions you may have.

Changes are taking place at Webinar Plus. We are still offering the same state-of-the-art services for Web-based conference calls, and the same prompt service and tech support. However, due to rising costs in the technology we depend on, the fees for all of our conferencing services will increase 10 percent beginning March 1, 2008.

Even with this increase in pricing, you will find the fees for using Webinar Plus services are reasonable and competitive.  Also, our value-added customer service ensures you get more for your money when you use Webinar Plus.

From: Caleb Keeler

Re: Redistribution of Duties

 

After reviewing the work that the marketing department does and the division of duties within it, I have decided that it is time for a change. I hope that by shifting some responsibilities around, we will all be able to work more efficiently.

 

Effective immediately, Art Director Emily Tazlo will handle all aspects of print production for the department. For those of you planning and designing marketing pieces that require printing, you should work directly with Emily. She will act as liaison to printing companies, from getting estimates to going on press checks. 

 

This change will enable our product managers and graphic designers to focus on their important tasks. It should also save on printing costs when Emily batches various jobs.

 

The reporting structure of the department will not change and Emily will still handle some graphic design responsibilities, as her schedule allows.

 

Please feel free to stop by my office if you have any questions about this new division of duties.

Caleb Keeler

Re: Change in Benefits

 

Every 2 years, your human resources department reviews Englehart Whittaker’s employee benefit offerings to see if we can find better benefits for you or save money on specific offerings.

 

The result of our latest review is that beginning next quarter, on April 1, we will replace our current health insurance provider with Hellington Mutual Insurance Co. Our new health insurance will offer the options of an HMO or PPO, similar to the choice you have now.

 

I have attached a breakdown of the employee costs per option, including your contribution per check, deductibles and copay information. Please review the options and, when you receive the changeover paperwork early next month, be prepared to select the HMO or PPO option for this new coverage. A list of providers for both programs will also be provided at that time.

 

Attached please find a revised employee handbook, which has been updated with complete details on these changes. Be sure to replace your old handbook with this one. As always, please contact me if you have any questions.

Englehart Whittaker is expanding our business hours so that we can have better communications with customers and vendors on the East Coast. The workday for all employees, both hourly and salaried, is changing to 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. With your current two 15-minute breaks and 1 hour for lunch, you will work 8 hours per day. This is in line with most U.S. companies today.

 

This change in hours is effective beginning Monday, February 2. If you have special circumstances, such as child care availability that may prevent you from changing your hours in 2 weeks, please discuss your options with the manager of your department within the next week. Anyone who cannot work the new schedule must let their manager know before the schedule change takes place.

 

Please contact me or any member of the human resources staff if you have questions regarding the new schedule.

The workday for all employees, both hourly and salaried, is changing to 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. With your current two 15-minute breaks and 1 hour for lunch, you will work 8 hours per day. This is in line with most U.S. companies today.

 

This change in hours is effective beginning Monday, February 2.

 

If you have special circumstances, such as child care availability that may prevent you from changing your hours in 2 weeks, please discuss your options with the manager of your department within the next week. Anyone who cannot work the new schedule must let their manager know before the schedule change takes place.

Dear Mr. Brademann:

 

We received our latest shipment of brackets (order #76-453A) on March 15 and found that the products received did not match those we ordered. Our order specifically listed five pallets of your brown brackets (item #225B), and the shipment we received contained only four pallets, two of which were black brackets and two of which were brown.

 

I expect you to exchange the brackets we received for the correct number and items as soon as possible, at your expense. Please contact my warehouse manager at 555.555.5555 to coordinate a time for pick up and delivery.

 

I would like to continue to do business with MetalWerks, but only if you can solve this problem promptly and assure me that it will not happen again.

 

Sincerely,

Quality Assurance Manager

 

P.S. I have asked our accounting department to withhold payment until this matter is rectified.

Re: Letter of Resignation

 

Dear Cathy:

 

I hope that it will not come as too much of a surprise to you that I have accepted a position with another company. Because of the current conditions at Rice Lake Marketing, including the recent layoffs, I thought it best for my future if I found employment elsewhere.

 

With this letter, I am giving my 2 weeks’ notice; February 23 will be my last day of work before I start my new job as operations manager at Gershon Press Inc.

 

It has been a pleasure to work for you, and I wish you and all my colleagues in the operations department good luck in the months ahead.

 

Sincerely,

 

Isaac Davis

Re: Your Late Arrival

 

Dear Jenna:

 

Yesterday, February 26, and today, I noticed that you were 20 minutes late and 45 minutes late, respectively. Jenna, we have discussed your chronic late arrivals several times in person, but the message does not seem to be getting through: It is very important that you be at your desk and ready to answer your phone by 8:45 a.m. every workday morning.

 

A copy of this letter will be placed in your permanent personnel file, and if further problems occur, this record will be taken into account. Our company policy states that if you are late one more time after receiving this letter, the next step will be to place you on probation, and the step after that will be immediate termination. I certainly hope that it does not come to that, but I would like to stress that this has become a serious issue and we need to ensure that you change this bad habit before it costs you your job.

 

If you have any questions regarding this course of disciplinary action, please come and talk to me.

I received your note of January 18 regarding your upcoming annual review. Rather than wait for our in-person meeting in February, I wanted to respond immediately.

 

First, let me reinforce that TRX has a set salary range for each position, and no exceptions can be made to those ranges. The salary range for your position is $60,000 to $70,000. As long as you stay in your current job, and until those salary ranges are adjusted by TRX’s human resources department, your salary cannot exceed $70,000.

 

Second, though I understand that you have been doing additional work in the past few months, I must point out that everyone here (and, indeed, in most companies in the United States) is working harder than ever. This is the state of our economy; we must all work harder than we used to. While I agree that your work is of excellent quality, I cannot reward you for handling additional responsibilities, as this is true of every employee here at TRX.

 

When we sit down for your annual review, I would be happy to discuss how I perceive your work. However, I want to stress that your initial request is unrealistic.

The topic of automating the warehouse has come up several times in the past 2 months. I do not know if there are plans in the works to undertake automation here at El-tronics, but I have some ideas on the topic. I have been reading articles in trade journals and speaking with other warehouse managers and would like to discuss my ideas with you one-on-one.

 

Would your schedule allow a 1- or 2-hour meeting sometime this week? We can get together immediately after the departmental meeting on Wednesday if that works for you or perhaps later that day. I am free any time except Thursday from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.; I have a conference call with Hi-Rite Industries at that time.

Re: Letter Requesting Employee Donations to Charity

Re: Help for the Homeless Fund

 

Every year, we select a good cause for El-tronics to adopt. In years past, we have helped to build houses with Habitat for Humanity, supported needy children in Sierra Leone and given our time and money to charities for the families of Sept. 11 victims.

 

This year, El-tronics has selected a local cause. The Help for the Homeless Fund is a charity based here in Cleveland that not only feeds and shelters the homeless in our metropolitan area, but provides counseling and funding to help get some of these people off the streets and employed.

 

I am asking each of you to consider making a cash donation to this good cause. It need not be a large donation, but whatever you give, the company will match. For example, if you donate $50, we will give an additional $50.

 

Please use the enclosed envelope and form to make your donation directly to the fund. All donations must be in by March 15, and at that time, I will write a check matching the total amount of funds given by El-tronics employees.

 

I hope that you will participate in helping this cause; together, we can make a difference in getting homeless people in our community clothed, fed, off the streets and into homes or shelters.

 

Sincerely,

All donations must be in by March 15, and at that time, I will write a check matching the total amount of funds given by El-tronics employees.

 

I hope that you will participate in helping this cause; together, we can make a difference in getting homeless people in our community clothed, fed, off the streets and into homes or shelters.

Every year, we select a good cause for El-tronics to adopt. This year, we have chosen the Help for the Homeless Fund, a charity based here in Cleveland that not only feeds and shelters the homeless in our metropolitan area, but provides counseling and funding to help get some of these people off the street and employed.

Dear Lawrence:

 

My annual review is coming up in February. Therefore, I want to make a case in advance for special consideration for my work.

 

Over the past year I have taken on more and more responsibility as TRX’s marketing has ramped up to include public relations and internal communications. Specifically, I have added full responsibility for press relations and press releases to my regular workload.

 

I have reviewed the TRX employee handbook and know that a standard salary increase for an employee with a good or excellent review is six percent. I believe that due to the circumstances of my increased responsibilities and the excellent quality of all my work, I should be eligible for an exception to this policy. I am asking that you consider increasing my current salary by 10 percent.

 

Thank you for considering this proposal. I look forward to discussing it in more detail during my review.

Dear Mr. Mansfield:

 

Today we received a VGB Binders invoice for our order #7492943. I wanted to contact you before this paperwork was sent to discuss a change to our agreement and I trust it is not too late.

 

As you know, this order for 5,000 binders did not go smoothly. We received the wrong materials initially and then had to wait more than a week to receive the correct binders. This delay caused a backup in our own customer orders.

 

Therefore, I think it would be fair for VGB Binders to reduce the costs on this order. I propose that a fair discount for our inconvenience and that of our customers would be 20 percent, making the cost of this invoice $4,985.

 

I realize that this invoice has already been processed on your end and that making this change will entail some backtracking. However, I would like to stress that Brink Information Services (BIS) would like to continue to rely on your company for our materials for a long time to come. Making the extra effort of revising this invoice will go a long way toward showing that your company also plans to pursue a long-standing and lucrative relationship with BIS.

 

If you would like to discuss this matter, please contact me directly at 555.555.5555.

Re: Changes Ahead for Englehart Whittaker

 

I want you to be the first to know before a public announcement is made that Englehart Whittaker is merging with Grebe Communications, our top competitor.

 

This friendly merger means good things for all of us. It gives our company an extremely strong position in the marketplace and adds the strengths of Grebe Communications to our own.

 

Because the deal just took place today, it is too early to outline any specific changes that may take place. But I can assure you that our company name and headquarters location will remain the same. We will be making some changes to our employee benefits packages as we merge the two companies, but the plans are basically the same, so you should not see much difference in the quality and coverage of your current benefits.

 

Other than that it is too soon to outline what will happen in the future. However, I promise to keep every member of our staff updated in the months ahead as we plan our course as a larger, stronger organization.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rodney J. Doyle

We will give priority to those candidates who were referred by our employees, assuming that the candidate is qualified for the specific job and his or her information is current and correct.

Dear Ms. Bagnall:

 

You should be among the first to know: Payroll Plus is adding two exciting new features to our services.

 

I know that your accounting department appreciates the ease of our Web-based technology to view and update payroll information, but did you know that you can now offer your employees the same convenience? We have updated our security features so that our clients can offer each of their employees unlimited password-protected views of their current and past pay stubs online.

 

In addition, we have enhanced our direct deposit acceptance. If an employee chooses, we can now split his or her monthly pay between two accounts. For example, if an employee wants 20 percent of every paycheck to go directly into his or her savings account and the remainder into his or her checking account, that division can be automated by paycheck, month or quarter.

 

Our beta testers for these Payroll Plus features, including several Fortune 500 companies, were delighted with the convenience. This is a terrific way to provide more benefits to your employees at a minimal cost.

 

I will call you next week to discuss adding either or both of these new features to your Payroll Plus package. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

 

Sincerely,

 

Heidi Schiffle

Culver & Culver Real Estate

624 N. Polk St.

San Diego, CA 93402

 

Dear Ms. Constantino:

 

As I am sure you are aware, the lease for Pacific Construction’s office space and warehouse at 4338 N. Ashland Ave. will expire at the end of June. I would like to assure you that we are interested in renewing that lease but would like a change in the terms of our lease.

 

The current rental market in San Diego favors tenants, and we have many options for moving and saving money on rent. However, there are a number of reasons why we would prefer to stay at this location and continue to rent from Culver & Culver.

 

Therefore, I propose that we renew our lease for the standard time frame of 3 years with a five percent decrease in our rent. This decrease would bring our payments more in line with the current market, and we would be willing to accept this minor reduction in order to avoid the costs of moving. You would benefit by ensuring you have a paying tenant for the next 3 years with no effort on your part.

 

Please let me know if this proposition suits you. I will need an answer by the end of the month so we can make any necessary plans to move.

 

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

 

Sincerely,

Re: Letter to Shareholders Providing a General Update

 

January 23, 2008

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

Last year, despite a shaky economy, Stein Software managed to hold steady. We did lose a few clients─companies that went out of business, underwent acquisitions or simply lowered their IT budget─but we were able to make up for these losses with some cost controls and a reorganization.

 

Overall, consolidated revenues for 2007 were $3.2 million, a decrease of just six percent from the previous year.

 

Stein Software could not have succeeded so well in 2007 without the hard work and sacrifices of its staff and leadership. I would especially like to thank CEO Jillian Thomas for her leadership through these challenging times. And I would like to thank you, the shareholders, for your support of Stein Software.

Dear Shareholder:

 

As a shareholder in Stein Software, you should hear major news about the corporation directly rather than reading it in the newspapers. That is why I am sending you this letter.

 

As you saw in our last annual report, we had plans to put some major cost controls into place in 2008. The first stage of that plan was implemented today, as we laid off 100 employees, or 14 percent of our workforce. Most of these layoffs occurred in our customer service department. As part of our new reorganization, our salespeople will take on customer service relations for their own clients. Also, Web-based and other automated programs will replace in-person communications.

 

You may see something about this subject in the press in the next few weeks. I want to assure you that everything is under control at Stein Software and ask for your continued support and goodwill as we handle this situation.

Rather than paying for orders with cash on demand, which entails giving a check to our driver to turn over to the recipient on your end, we would prefer to have the order charged to our company credit card on the day we receive the order.

Today we received a VGB Binders invoice for order #7492943 for 5,000 binders. I wanted to notify you immediately that we will not pay this invoice because what you delivered was not what we ordered.

 

After comparing the information on the invoice to that in our records, we found that the order attached to this invoice was incorrect and has yet to be replaced. We did order 5,000 of your standard padded binders, but the materials we received on February 8 did not match our order. Those materials, which included 4,000 5.5 x 8.5” binders and 2,000 vinyl portfolios, are still in our warehouse waiting for collection. Although our warehouse manager has repeatedly contacted your company for replacement of these materials with the 5,000 standard binders, no action has been taken.

 

Please check your own files to make sure that they accurately reflect this order. If there is a problem with the accounting system or general record-keeping at VGB Binders, I trust that you will personally make sure it is eliminated so that this does not happen again.

 

Sincerely,

 

Veronica Perez

Dear Mrs. Lincoln:

 

Granger Assembly National just received a large contract, and we will be increasing our production output as soon as we can procure the staff and other necessary resources.

 

As soon as I obtain approval from our vice president of operations, I will be placing an order for five gross of your 12-gauge hose pieces and seven gross of your 0.125-millimeter valves. I realize that this order is substantially larger than our usual requests, and, therefore, would like to ensure that LKW Plastics can supply these quantities.

 

Please contact me as soon as you have the necessary information so that we can discuss the logistics of this upcoming order.

 

Thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

 

Sincerely,

 

Ed Lee

Dear Diane:

 

I received your letter of March 19 and wanted to let you know that I was happy to help you with this matter.

 

I spoke with Ralph Underhill, the president of Tyree, yesterday and mentioned my many successful projects involving your company. I told Ralph about how we came in under budget on our last mall project and also about your ability to speed construction along when needed with a seemingly limitless supply of additional workmen. In short, I gave RTG a glowing recommendation and believe that you should win the contract.

 

This was an easy favor for me to grant, because every word I said is true. It is a pleasure to work with you and I hope that we will share many projects in the future.

We have worked together in one capacity or another for more than 6 years now, and we have seen our share of ups and downs in this business. I believe we have a good professional relationship, one that can be relied on for help from time to time.

 

Therefore, I am writing to ask you for a favor. RTG Construction is in the process of bidding on a job for Tyree Department Stores. They are planning a store in the South Street Mall, and we want to build it for them. I know that you have worked with Tyree in the past and believe that a personal recommendation from you would really help us win this contract.

 

Would you consider giving your contact at Tyree a call sometime this month and mentioning our record of success and reliability? I only ask this because I know we are up against some tough competition and could really use a personal endorsement from a source that Tyree trusts.

 

I hope that you will consider helping me with this matter. Please know that I will not hesitate to return the favor if you should ever need a similar recommendation.

Dear Jean-Robert:

 

We have a long history together as marketing professionals, going back to the days in 2001 when I was a consultant for your department at RJM Steel. We have both come a long way in the past 5 or 6 years and I am about to make another change. But in order to do so, I need your help.

 

I have applied for a corporate loan for our company in order to build up an Internet marketing division.

 

I would like to list you as one of my business references on the loan application. Would you be willing to answer some questions about our professional history and my qualifications for this loan? If so, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Please let me know whether I can give the lender, Trenton First National Bank, your name and phone number. I would like to submit the paperwork for this sometime next week.

 

Thank you in advance for considering this favor. Let me assure you that I will happily do the same for you if the need should ever arise.

Dear Mr. Grundy:

Our latest shipment (order #59238502) arrived at our warehouse yesterday and it too was incomplete. We received only the size B boxes and now have to postpone several shipments of our own due to the missing A boxes.

 

We were willing to overlook a few errors, but now these errors are beginning to have a negative impact on our business. Therefore, I have decided to find another box supplier. We will not be ordering from Corrugated Cardboard again, effective today.

 

Please refund the cost of the A boxes that we did not receive and then close our account.

Apology Letter... A business apology letter can be key to keeping customers.

June 28, 2005

Ms. Rebecca Winston

2595 Dewdrop Circle

Unit No. 29

Birmingham, AL 35233

 

Dear Ms. Winston:

The purpose of this is to convey to you my sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced last month with respect to the installation of your Internet high speed service.

I just returned from vacation this week and found your file in my in-basket. As soon as I reviewed your case it was clear that somehow your May 20th request for a change in service had somehow slipped through the cracks. The only possible explanation I can give is that we have recently had a number of key staff changes which might have resulted in your letter being overlooked.

 

Consequently, I have directed our Installation Group to contact you by the end of this week to set up a time convenient to you when they could go to your house and install your new router and make the necessary adjustments to your software.

Because of this serious oversight, and as a testament to our appreciation of you as our customer, we are going to provide you with your first three months of high speed service free of charge. Therefore, your account will not be billed until October of this year.

Ms. Quinlan, let me assure you that what happened in your case is not typical of CableNet's level of customer service. We continue to be committed to providing you and all of our customers with the highest standards of service in the industry.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me at 754-9785.

 

Yours in service,

 

Paul Cordero

Manager, Customer Solutions

 

 

We, hereby, convey my heartfelt thanks to you for the help extended to us in UAN online  activation. Without your active help, it would not have been possible.

 

Thanking you again,

 

With regards,

 

Yours sincerely,
