Dear Ted,
Thanks for the phone call yesterday.After talking to you yesterday,I decided to write you a letter.Writing often helps me organize my thoughts and see life more clearly.
I happened to discover that my company was pouring a chemical into a river near one of its factories in the countryside.At first,I wasn’t concerned about this.But then I read a story in the newspaper about factories illegally(非法地) pouring chemicals into rivers and how many of these chemicals are harmful.One chemical is very dangerous to humans because,over some time,it can cause cancer.And this is the same chemical that my own company is pouring into that river!
I was puzzled at first.So I checked carefully and found out that I was right.The company has been pouring this deadly chemical for about 18 months,and the boss knows about it!
Well,Ted,I am confused and upset.Of course,I could talk to my boss,but then he would fire me.Should I talk to the officials of the government?Or perhaps I could talk to the reporter who wrote the story in the newspaper?
As you know,I plan to retire in four more years.I am too old to quit(辞职) and find a new job.Besides I like my work.Well,I used to like my work.Now I am feeling very strange.It is getting difficult to continue my work as if nothing were wrong.
Please help me,older brother.I don’t know what to do.
Yours,
