Meeting of the Minds --DeWese

Dear Mr. Pharmaceutical Purchasing Guy,

Thank you very much for providing Sandy Alexander with the opportunity to participate in your print bid. Unfortunately, we are declining the invitation to participate in this event.

Specifically, we receive a very significant number of requests to participate in what are essentially "consultant driven" exercises that do little more than build a file of data that never gets reviewed, with the only real beneficiary being the consultant that collects a substantial fee for little to no effort. To comply with the requests requires a major time and cost investment on our part, with very small probabilities of realizing a return on our investment.
