You are the owner of YumRunner, a food delivery service that allows customers to order food from their favourite restaurants and have it delivered to their homes through your app. Your company has been in operation for five years, and you service the Mississauga area only. YumRunner is a locally-owned and operated business. You're eco-friendly in that your delivery persons ride bicycles and motorized scooters (as opposed to driving cars). You pay your delivery persons competitive wages and emphasize the importance of excellent customer service. As a result, YumRunner regularly receives positive online reviews, and has built up a steady clientele over the past five years. When you started YumRunner in 2015, you charged restaurants a 20% commission for each delivery order that was placed through your service (e.g. if a customer ordered a $10 meal from a restaurant through your app, YumRunner would earn $2 on it). Now, due to inflation and rising costs in labour, you have decided to raise your commission rate to 23%. This higher rate is in line with what many other food delivery services charge. You must now write to all of the restaurants who use your company's delivery service to let them know of your commission rate increase. write an indirect negative news letter to Jerry Capra, manager of Jerry's Pizzeria, in which you explain your need to raise your commission rate. Your letter should clearly explain the reasons why your commission rate is increasing, while highlighting any alternatives or other reader benefits that you can. It is important that your letter maintains goodwill, as Jerry's Pizzeria is a big client. You will need to invent an address both for Jerry's Pizzeria and for YumRunner's headquarters. Your letter should be between ¾ page and one page long, and follow all the proper formatting for an indirect business letter. Use formal writing style, and include a formal greeting which includes the receiver's honorific title and last name, as well as a formal sign-off. Include all elements of a business letter (see p. 217 of your textbook for a sample). Use graphic highlighting to emphasize key information. Your message should be clear and
