We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about this either in person or via conference call ….
Key Points in Letter - Continued • In preparation for that discussion, Attachment B contains items specific to your organization that have been extracted from the task group report for your convenience. Along with those items, it may be helpful to consider the following: • Significance of the issues and recommendations to your organization. • Feasibility of and potential issues with implementing the applicable recommendations by your organization. • Relationship of these recommendations to other efforts in your organization (or that you are aware of), and the relative priority you would place on the recommendations.
