Geological Consultants **Shake It Up **

Dear Sir/Madam,

After a lengthy analysis with our board and investors, ACME Theme park has decided to go global! During this exciting time we are enlisting the aid of several consulting firms to determine prime locations around the world to place our theme parks. We would love for your firm to be a part of this growth process. Soon, we will be distributing a list of locations that we feel would be excellent prospects for our park locations. We would like for you and your partners to present a geological risk analysis to our board, so we can shorten our list of potential locations and begin purchasing land in the desired areas.

Thank you,

ACME Theme Parks Financial Board
