a. Dear Mr. Starr: After carefully scrutinizing the facts of your situation and the relevant laws and cases, there is no question that your reasons for wanting to sue Pennsylvania Deluxe Hotel are well founded. However, the courts take many things into consideration when making such decisions. The facts of your case are such that a jury could conceivably find either way on whether or not the Hotel negligently inflicted emotional distress. There are a number of courses of action we can take at this point, including taking your case to court or seeking a settlement. It is my opinion that we first try the latter, to resolve the situation privately by seeking from the Hotel a public acknowledgment of wrongdoing and an apology, and perhaps some compensatory damages. I will explain why I have come to this conclusion after I review the facts of your case and Pennsylvania law pertaining to your situation. b. Dear Mr. Starr: I would like for us to meet on April 30, at 4:00 p.m. in order to discuss your options in dealing with this matter.
