Write a negative letter in response to this scenario. Keep in mind that much of the language in this scenario is not appropriate for effective business communication, and that part of your job is to re-write it so that it reads more professionally and empathetically.

You are the Executive Director of The Human Fund, a philanthropical organization that provides funding for a variety of charitable causes. Your organization also provides grants to privatelyheld organizations to promote wildlife habitat preservation, which helps species such as the Kirtlands Warbler. Last week, one of The Human Funds chief grant recipients, Benzyne, Inc., became the target of state and federal investigations that are looking into its practice of illegally dumping chemicals into waterways near its plants. For this reason, the Funds Board of Directors (whom you report to) has indicated that it wishes to sever ties with Benzyne and stop giving the annual $50,000 grant it has given over the past ten years. It has instructed you to write a letter to the company to inform them of the decision. The Board has given these reasons for this decision: The Human Fund supports ecological sustainability in its mission and transparency in its actions. The revelation about Benzene suggests that neither are true with this company. The news reports, even if proven false, have the potential of sullying The Human Funds good name. This could hamper your ongoing mission. This will be a difficult letter to write since the companys CEO, Pat Amaramadeux, is a longtime friend of yours from college and the revelations about the companys dumping practices have come a shock. Also, you spent considerable time and energy between 2010-2020 working with the Board to build a relationship with the company. But since you report to the Board of Directors, the letter must be written as a formal documentation of the severing of the professional relationship.
