Dear Ms. Go:

Thesis Writing is part of the curriculum offering in fourth year. As fourth year students of UST-AMV College of Accountancy, we are required to submit a Research Paper before the end of the Second Semester, Academic Year 20122013. Our group has decided to work on the research topic Productivity and Efficiency of Retail Store. To seek answers to our research questions and to substantiate this study, we have chosen your Company as one of the respondents. With the Companys credibility and reputable name in the industry, we are confident that the data we will gather will fulfill the objectives of our study. May we therefore request your approval to visit your company and allow us to: 1. Conduct interview with Ms. Marie Go 2. Get copies of financial statements, years 2002-2011 3. Get copies of sales record The assistance you will extend to us will be a great help in accomplishing this requirement for our graduation. Thank you so much for your time and attention and we express our heartfelt gratitude for supporting this endeavor.

Sincerely yours, Eileen Joy Acorda Aira Denise Palma Nikki Tricia Santos Dana Diane Sayo Aileen Joyce Soriano Group Members
