To Whom it May Concern,
I have trusted the Shoe People to
protect the feet of my employees for over ten years now. I recently purchased a
few pairs of boots from your company for my crew. Though my men were initially

twelve weeks. This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six
year warranty. The boots are unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot
concrete. Please respond as soon as possible with instructions on how I can
return the boots and receive a refund.
Thank you,
