S ubject: Donation Clarification + Placement Services

Good morning Mr. Dawson,

I hope this email finds you well.

I wanted to personally THANK YOU for giving us such a generous $1M donation, but…I think you might have us confused with another organization.

My team and I were assessing all our placements, and we never secured a full-time nanny for you.

We’ll gladly keep it, but we felt it would be dishonest not to mention our side of things.

Sincerely,

Lisa Wharton

Miss Wharton,

I used your services for several nanny interviews.

I never requested another because one of the last nannies was such a great fit.

She’s become a part of my family.

You can keep the donation. I’m very appreciative of your services.

That said, given how long Miss Hawthorne has lasted, I’d like to finally switch from paying her in cash to handling things via direct deposit. (I’ve also set aside the taxes and fees per your agency’s rules.)

Thank you.

Best,

Pierce Dawson

Mr. Dawson,

We don’t have a nanny employed by that last name. Is that a code name she uses with you and your children?

The last official nanny we have on file for your family is Natalie Sutherland, who was employed for eight days.

How long have you been paying this ‘Miss Hawthorne’ via cash? She should’ve been moved to the direct deposit system after she lasted two weeks, per our standard policy, remember?

Perhaps your system has encountered an error somehow.

Miss Hawthorne has just left for lunch with my kids.

I’m attaching her picture.

Yes, I’ve been paying in cash. Is it possible to handle setting up direct deposit today?

Best,

Pierce Dawson

Mr. Dawson,

Please call me immediately.

That woman is not (and has never been) an employee with our agency.
