As you know, osnut.com is has been up
for only a week and so far they have gotten
over 2000 hits.  Not only are they taking
our chemists' secrets and putting them out
into the public, as well as rewarding them
highly for it, but they are manufacturing
their products for a substantially lesser
price than ours.We must find a way to keep
our prices up, or else we will lose a
substantial portion of our revenue. We
tried shutting down their website on Friday,
but they are back up now and kicking.
Already osnut's version of St. John's Wort
is eating into our revenue for the
anti-depressent market, and I understand
that they are planning on coming up with
a clone for Viagra, which they will
manufacture cheaply for the public.
I hope your company sees our view on this,
and if we work together we can find a way
to stay profitable.

Regards,
Charles
