Here's the scenario: As the president, you've been asked by your Board of Directors to write a memo that will be sent to all employees in the company regarding the topic of ethics. You are responding to inquiries from managers of some of your dry cleaning locations who have asked why the company does not have a code of ethics.

You have a choice for how you respond to the managers' request. You can decide you will continue to operate without a written code of ethics, or you can decide to implement a code of ethics.

Whichever you choose, you are going to state your case for your choice in this email to all 1,000 employees at a total of 55 dry cleaning locations.
