Subject: Progress of Nick Willhite
Dear Sir,
Nick Willhite has nothing more to prove at AA Jacksonville Suns!
He has an ERA of 3.06 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt.

Regards,
Scouting Director



Date: Monday, 5/1/1967
Subject: Progress of Billy Wynne
Dear Sir,
Billy Wynne has nothing more to prove at A Savannah Sand Gnats!
He has an ERA of 0.86 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt.

Regards,
Scouting Director



Date: Saturday, 5/13/1967
Subject: Promotion Day
Dear Sir,
Congratulations, our fan interest increased slightly because
our team won on a promotion day. Good job!

Sincerly,
Your PR Director



Date: Saturday, 5/20/1967
Subject: Contract
Dear Sir,
I would like to negotiate a contract extension!
Please let me know if you are interested!

Regards,
Bud Daley



Date: Saturday, 5/20/1967
Subject: Status of Jackie Hernandez
Dear Sir,
Jackie Hernandez shouldn't play at AA Jacksonville Suns!
He has an AVG of .245 over there, that might
be a sign that he has been promoted to soon. You
should demote him before he gets burned.

Regards,
Scouting Director



Date: Sunday, 5/21/1967
Subject: Contract extension
Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that I'm
in my last year of the contract.
Are you interested in giving me an extension?
I'd be happy to play for you again next year!

Dear Sir,
Larry Yellen has an ERA of 5.06 at AA Jacksonville Suns.
I believe he isn't ready yet for that level!

Subject: I am a starter...
... so would you please put me in the rotation?
I want to go out there and start for my
team. Please come on, manager!
