Text to teacher :
I have noticed that you often concentrate to cover the syllabus, it doesn’t matter to you how the quality of learning is. Please be aware that beside the commitment to time the quality must be considered.
Email to management:
Client has signed Sufficient Funds Form so we have fulfilled our duty of care in relation to funding under the contract however I believe that unless client secures loan they don’t have the funds to complete and I suggest we do not commence until we have received formal loan approval notification from client.
Text to Group:

Having tax payers pay for convicted undocumented felons of serious criminal offenses to return to the US to have their court cases heard on appeal is a waste of money, The money should be used to pay for undocumented mothers and children to pay for housing, education, or medical services.
Message to a client: I heard your comment that Facebook doesn’t help your business. It’s true it doesn’t bring leads the way other tactics do. Your clients and prospects are using it, however. They require your presence although not in a big nor expensive way. Let the number decide what needs to be done, not opinions.
Email to motor vehicle dealer:
The advertisement for the vehicle stated that it came with a 100 point safety check. This has not been received. We took the vehicle to the repairer recommended by you who stated that the vehicle was in the condition whereby it would not be possible to obtain a road worthy certificate and it was not safe to drive. We therefore demand a refund of the purchase price immediately.
Email to exec- I think the business owner of this project does not understand how a program should be delivered and what kind of trade-offs need to be made to achieve the objectives. The amount of information hidden , not shared transparently with wider stakeholders is staggering. And I think there seems to be lack of honesty in the design of outcome , its sequencing and its sizing. With this environment and these aspects no wonder many people have resigned and taken all the knowledge and expertise with them. If the program construct continues like this without any challenge , re-thinkiing and same ownership and I will be surprise if the program outcome will be delivered at all no matter how much money we throw at it.
Letter to doctor:
Your diagnosis leading to a script for antibiotics and steroids did not work. In fact, we were later told it would not help due to the illness being a virus. I know you are trying to help, but I’d rather you say you don’t know than give medication that doesn’t help and may cause other issues further down the track.

I think that if we decide to do our training elsewhere than in Besançon, on the one hand we will have to increase our prices because we will certainly not find conditions for renting a room at our convenience as advantageous and, on the other hand On the other hand, we are very likely to lose a large part of our Swiss clientele, whereas for the last year it has been a growing part of our audience.

Je pense que si nous décidons de faire nos formations ailleurs qu’à Besançon, d’une part nous devrons augmenter nos prix parce que nous ne retrouverons certainement pas des conditions de location d’une salle à notre convenance aussi avantageuses et, d’autre part, nous allons très probablement perdre une grande part de notre clientèle suisse alors que depuis un an elle représente une fraction de plus en plus importante de notre public.
Email to coach: I thought the game was spoilt by the parents of the other side. They were loud and agressive. I resented their distractions.
