Fic: The Elephant In The Room (Is Me Loving You)

Dear Mr. Spencer,
I want to again thank you for agreeing to come on board with us here at The Greater Cityopolis Area Zoo for this momentous undertaking. I'm speaking not only on behalf of myself as zoo director, but also for our board of trustees, our staff and volunteers, our patrons and guests, and especially on behalf of the elephant we'll all be saving together.

We're all looking forward to meeting you when you arrive. If there is anything I can do to make your transition any easier, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Nate Ford
General Director
Greater Cityopolis Area Zoo
