Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to you today about an urgent matter that requires the immediate attention of your organization. Fiji, a water-bottling company that specializes in what it calls “artesian” water, has sparked a feud resulting from a recent advertisement that implied its water was better that tap water from Cleveland. The city of Cleveland took offense, had some tests done, and arrived at the conclusion that its water was in fact cleaner than Fiji water. Fiji is questioning the validity of the city’s studies.
The definitive answer must be found. This will be necessary simply to maintain the integrity of the city of Cleveland. If their tap water is found to be cleaner than the bottled water, surely the city will reap the benefits of selling its own water around the world. This could be the event that puts Cleveland on the map, and you will have been a big part of it. The city may even court your organization and you could open a luxurious branch office there. I am looking forward to seeing Cleveland water on the supermarket shelf next to the Evian.
Truly,
Liz Mann
