You are the administrative assistant to R. D. Spenser, president of Flo-Sheen Fabrics. Flo-Sheen employs over 300 people in its mill and corporate offices. Each year, these employees contribute generously to the city’s annual fund-raising drive. Spenser also has developed a volunteer program that allows some employees to work on charitable projects on company time. On your desk today you found a letter that was sent to Mr. Spenser from a statewide youth organization requesting permission to conduct a fund-raising drive in your plant for a new project it is developing. The organization wants to establish a scholarship fund for its brightest members. Mr. Spenser jotted a note at the bottom of the letter asking you to deny the request. Do so, but build up goodwill. Be positive, yet assertive; do not leave the organization wondering whether the request is denied.
