Dear Mr. White,

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you may have experienced.

At SHL Lounges we take pride in ensuring our customer’s satisfaction. Unfortunately, we did not meet your—or our own—expectations. Upon thorough review of the situation, we narrowed the cause to lack of employee discipline.

As a testament to our strive for perfection, we have taken steps to ensure that this will never happen again by creating weekly employee training.

Please accept our gift as an apology. We are going to provide you with a $1000 coupon to any of our restaurants or lounges. We deeply value our relationship with you and are committed to providing you with the highest level of service simply because our customers deserve the very best.

If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please feel free to discuss it with us at shl-l@ggg.com.

Sincerely yours,

Kevin Hart
