Dear Professor Chan:
My office is in receipt of your correspondence of January 7, 199x, requesting information relating to a Ramada Franchise.
Enclosed please find, as requested, all materials furnished a potential franchisee. We totally agree that our expense incurred in providing you this information is a worthwhile investment.
Please be advised as Ramada makes no earnings claims to a prospective franchisee, we do not have available pro forma statements to offer you. Perhaps as an alternative you could contact the Ramada Inn in Abilene, Texas or other nearby areas directly and make your request.
After review, should you have additional questions relating to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
