It is with a heavy heart that I feel compelled to write this letter to you. It appears that one of the key team members of the Bullet Racing Team is being forced to accept burdensome responsibilities at his place of employment. The gentleman that I speak of is Dr. Raymond Manning. You may also know him as "the funny guy with the purple hair at the end of the hallway." Scientific studies have shown that when a member of an all- volunteer racing team begins to focus primarily on the work place, they become very disenchanted and oftentimes suicidal. It is for this reason that I unselfishly offer this letter to you so that you may take the appropriate steps necessary to correct or amend this situation as the immediate supervisor of Dr. Ray Manning. The tell-tale signs of stress are all together too clear with regard to this downtrodden employee. I believe this is more clearly evidenced by some of his recent writings which some might say are marginally bizarre. I believe that these writings speak to the fact that he is overloaded and overworked. I am further concerned that the last few times that I have seen Dr. Ray, his hair was not purple. This probably equates to the fact that he has lost all passion for life and is running on the ragged edge. The poor man just doesn't care anymore and doesn't know what to do with himself.
Anyway, that's all I have to say. I believe that you will do the right thing. I also would invite you to come spend two or three days at the racetrack as well. You may find that you too are suicidal, and you don't even know it. Just remember that famous quote from the old Greek philosopher Andretti, "Satellites may come and go, but once a race weekend has passed, you can never get it back." (or something like that)
