Attn: Kevin Meister
Dear Analysts,
Thank you for all your hard work and the helpful suggestion that you made in your proposal. I was having lunch with fellow executive and she brought up the concept of DVD and Blu-ray sales. This is a very important factor to consider which we didn’t look at before. I am so glad that she brought this up before we started shooting, because I would hate to make a mistake on our first movie. Remember we want to make the most money possible so we can stay in business.
So I am asking for your help again. Before we start production on the type of movie that you suggested, please look at the new sales data that I have provided and determine if your recommendation would change because of it. If your decision changes please let me know along with an explanation for the change and your thinking process. Please also provide an updated ranking of the genres based on the data provided.
I look forward to hearing from you very soon. Once again, I really appreciate your help!
