Case Scenario: You are the manager of product development at Happy Trees, a company that produces art supplies. You have just received an email from a representative at Peapod Pigments that announces a shortage of the pigments your company uses to produce paint. From this email, you've learned that all pigments are backordered for six months. Unfortunately, Happy Trees only has enough pigment in stock to develop paint for the next three months, meaning that you will need to stop paint production for an entire quarter. This will cost the company approximately $2.5 million. Your Task: Unfortunately, the situation is out of your hands, and you will need to communicate this news to several audiences.

write an email to your supervisor, Bob Ross, explaining the situation and what you plan to communicate to your staff and customers
