Dear John Smith:

My biggest dealer (Joe Jacobs) got busted. The day of our scheduled meeting, he never showed up. I called a couple of his friends and they told me he was brought in by the police for questioning. I'm not sure what to do. Please understand that I cannot accept another shipment from you without his business. I was forced to turn away the delivery boat that arrived at Danny's because I didn't have the money to pay the driver. I will pay you back for the driver's time and gas. In the future, we may have to find another delivery point because Danny is starting to get nervous.

Without Joe, I can't pay any of my bills. I have 10 other dealers who combined do not total Joe's sales volume.

I need some assistance. I would like to get away until things quiet down up here. I need to talk to you about reorganizing. Do you still have the condo in Aruba? Would you be willing to meet me down there? If so, when? Also, please take a look at the map to see where I am currently hiding out.

Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Jimmy Jungle
