Dear Mr.Buffet,
I am writing to you this letter to provide you with a great business plan. My partener and I have come up with a wonderful idea of creating a pencil company. Yes, you might be thinking that there are thousands of pencil companies in the world. Why would ours be any different and why would it be great after all. Well, our pencil company isn't quite like the others. As you may have noticed there are a lot of ecologic problems such as pollution problems and lack of forests which is causing a extinction of animal species. Therefore we have come up with a plan for this problem. It might not be perfectly corresponding with the ecology, but it is a lot better than what the other companies have offered. We have come up with the idea of making the pencils aluminium instead of using wood. This will help the forests and animals that live there. The pencils will be colored in different colors which will help attract people to buy them. The color of the eraser will black to make it fancier too. The price of the pencil will be 20 dhs, the pack of pencils (10 pencils) will cost 180 reduction of 20 dhs (meaning one free pencil). This will push people to buy a pack instead of one or 2 pencils. There will be a total amount of 90 people working for us. 70 people will be receiving 143500 dhs an 20 people will be receiving 2800 dhs. Therefore the amount of money spent for the people working for us will be 146300 dhs. Plus the amount of money that will be spent for the raw material will be about 40 thousand dirhams. The transportation will not cost that much, about 1000 dhs. Lets not get our hopes down since by selling about 812 packs of the pencils we are producing it will cover the cost of the amount of money given to the workers. Therefore by producing at a rate of 200 packs an hour, after 8 hours of work from our workers we would have produced an amount of 1600 packs of pencils which will cover all our investments for the day and receive a profit. Therefore i think that it is a great idea of a business plan. We would like some of your help in making this project/business plan possible.
Thank you

  1. You shouldn't price the pencils too high or people will buy wooden pencils instead.
