Lesikar's Business Communication: Connecting in a Digital World 13th Edition by Kathryn Rentz,Paula Lentz

Exercise 48

Recently, you received a letter from Jana Perkins, president of Midway University's Beta Upsilon Sigma (BUS) business fraternity. BUS is holding a silent auction to raise money for LIVESTRONG, a foundation to help cancer survivors and fight cancer, and has contacted you to see if your company, Backwoods Outfitters, could supply some items for the auction. Your company sells camping gear, hunting and fishing equipment, biking gear, skis, snowshoes, clothing, nonperishable food and dry goods, canoes, kayaks-anything anyone would need for an outdoor venture no matter how large or how small. In addition, Backwoods Outfitters offers weekend rental packages that include a tent, canoe, backpacks, and supplies for $200 per weekend. The store also rents canoes, kayaks, bikes, skis, snowshoes, and additional camping gear separately.
As the manager for Backwoods Outfitters, you are happy to grant Jana's request and see this as a great opportunity to advertise your company and do something for the students and community. Respond to Jana's letter, telling her which item or items you will provide for the auction.
