Dear Sirs,

Though I realize that you are our major corporate stakeholders in the infection line-of-business, a lack of resources is forcing our organization to terminate the stakeholder-engagement process.

After consultation with our lung, stomach, and gastrointestinal-tract teams, we've decided to revert to our core competencies -- breathing, digestion, and nutrient absorption -- and get out of the business of coughing, vomiting, restricted oxygen levels, fever, and diarrhea.

The past few months have been productive for the infection line-of-business, with infection targets being reached or exceeded in the program sectors of pneumonia (Alison and Rachel), bronchitis (Alison), strep throat (Rachel), and some kind of rotavirus/norovirus (Leah and Rachel). We hope that you will be successful elsewhere as a direct result of leveraging the knowledge base acquired during these program trials.

We wish you the best in your future infection endeavours.

Sincerely,

Alison
CEO, Party of 3

  3. Jazz - Are you sick too? If so, feel better!

    Jen - I'm fine. (knocks on wood and crosses fingers) It's Leah right now, with a gastro bug that she caught from her sister who had it last week. It's nasty, but it is a 48-hour thing.

  6. Dear Sirs,

    Please do not expand into the American market. There's more than enough of your product line down here.

    Best wishes,
    Jen

  10. Gwen, Allison, Kim and USJen - I'll take all the cosigners I can get. Maybe we call all fire the germs.

    Meanie - Unless they can fake diarrhea and fevers, they were telling the truth.

    Trash - I'm not holding my breath.
