David sent a message to Michael J. Jackson – Chief Executive Officer of AutoNation Inc. – Email Address that said:
Greetings Mr. Jackson,
My name is David and I am a business student at Florida Atlantic University who will deliver a class presentation on Autonation this semester. My presentation will explore Autonation's external and internal environments as well as core competencies, business and corporate level strategies, etc. It is my hope that you would kindly provide me with a quote pertaining to some aspect of Autonation's future strategy based on competitor analysis that I can include in my presentation. In full appreciation for the nature of competition, I understand if you feel reluctant saying anything too specific but anything you feel comfortable contributing would be much appreciated. Thank you for your consideration in this matter and I hope to hear back from you.
Regards,
David
