Dear John,

As you know,the overall volume of our business has increased 50% within the last few months.This is good for us all;however,it is creating problems in the shipping division here.We have taken up every bit of slack in our system and have instituted time- saving methods wherever we could,but we are still falling behind on the delivery schedule.

I believe we have gotten to the point where we simply must add at least four persons to our crew here.Delays on out going orders,if they get much worse may actually hurt us with out customers,and undo some of the benefits of the increased volume of busniness.At the same time our present staff is becoming disgruntled with the constant overload,and we may lose some of our best people.

In view of this situation,I ask your permission to hire at least four new crew members.I know this is beyond our present budget,but is there perhaps a contigency fund that would provide this helps? I beliEve the additional staff would be for the good off business,now and in the long run.May i please hear from you immediately?

Sincerely,

James Bradfort
