my brother and I haven’t changed much..
My grandparents sent me something so funny today.. a letter my brother and I wrote them (probably about 13 years ago) with a business proposal. I believe it was typed on our archaic apple computer…
Proposal to: Roger Cardin
From: Lauren and Ryan Hughes
RE: the opening of the pool
Mr. Cardin,
Unfortunately both Mr. Hughes and myself have heard of your recent decision to delay the grand opening of your inground poolon17PlantRd. After some great thought and a few long discussions, we have decided to offer you a proposal you can ‘t tum down.We knew you would be wary about the pool usage while you are away from your home, so our first decision was to set a rule of no more than 5 people at the pool at one time, and that all children under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult. Under no circumstances will there be alcoholic beverages or tobacco use on the premises. We next thought about the steps it would take to open the pool. I will be willing to work on that process for a day with you and Mr. Hughes has agreed to the same.
Most importantly the upkeep of the pool while you are gone: This includes vacuuming, checking the PH levels, changing the chlorine tablets, adding cool water, and skimming the pool. Also, an occasional cleaning of the lounge chairs on the cement surrounding the pool. (If there is anything I have forgotten please inform me) We have deducted that the pool should be skimmed everyday (7 times per week minimum) Also that it should be vacuumed once every week at the very least depending on the cleanliness of the pool itself. The chlorine tablets will be replaced whenever needed and the pool will be filled with water from the hose when the level looks low. Both Mr. Hughes and I will split the upkeep of the pool fairly and will never go against anything in this contract or it is understood that they will be sued for wrongful business.
We want to keep our clients happy, so to coincide with the cleaning of the pool we (Nancy Barden, Ryan Hughes, and I) have also agreed to pick strawberries for your wife while the two of you are gone . We know a happy wife means a happy husband! I know you will look over this agreement with much scrutiny, but Ryan and I feel that we have covered every base. Please take your time before making your decision and feel free to reach me at my home, 371-5379, or on my cellular phone, 542-7690.
