laMont sent a message to Gary - chief executive officer and chairman of Southwest Airlines-Email address that said:
Dear CEO Kelly:I hope this note finds you in the best of health and having a profitable year.
Every year I visit Aruba on SouthWest during the month of December and stay for one month.I usually take a pack of baseballs as a gift to the Aruba Baseball Little League,Items of this nature are very expensive in Aruba because all of their resources are imported.This year, I am taking the baseballs but, I recently received a donation of adult baseball bats for the coaches.These bats are in a large golf bag and I need your assistance having SouthWest waive the baggage fee in order for the bats to accompany me to Aruba . I really appreciate any accommodation you can arrange for the delivery of these baseball bats to the Aruba Baseball Little League.
Thank you for your generous consideration.
Sincerely,
Dr.Lamont
