Question 6:
From: Janet Jones
To: Samuel George
Subject: Feedback on Changing Banks
Sent: February 24, 20-
Dear Mr. George,
Thank you for reaching out to me regarding my decision to switch banks. While I appreciate the service I received at National City Bank, I ultimately decided to move my accounts due to the high fees associated with maintaining them.
To improve your service for future customers, I suggest that you consider lowering your fees or offering more competitive rates. Additionally, it would be helpful if National City Bank could provide more transparent information about account fees and interest rates to customers.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Janet Jones

Dear John,
Thank you for updating me on the progress of the annual budget report. I understand that it is taking longer than anticipated, and I appreciate your commitment to completing the report thoroughly.
In order to address the delay, could you please let me know the specific areas of the report that are causing the most difficulty? Additionally, it would be helpful to have a revised timeline for when you anticipate completing the report, so that we can plan accordingly.
Thank you for your hard work on this project.
Best regards,
Shirley Park
