Melanie sent a message to Brian C. Cornell Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Target Corporation – email address that said:
Hello sir,
I was recently caught stealing from one of your stores and treated as a piece of trash. Prior, to these events leading to me stealing (which isn't in my nature normally) my husband was fired, my niece who wasn't even two died from brain cancer, I started chemo because my lupus has been acting up, I just regained full strength in my legs to walk because I have two herniated disks and one building disk. Plus, have to pay out of pocket medical bills. All the while taking care of three children. When I was confronted I told them of this and that I'm a Christian, which means this wasn't spitefully done this was a last resort. Sir, all I ask is forgiveness and please allow me back into your stores and I won't even bring a purse into a store. My husband and I really had have no help. However, I was wrong and apologize and am asking for forgiveness!
