Andrea sent a message to Howard Schultz that said:
Good Afternoon sir,
I trust that you are well.
I am currently an honors student interested in incorporating Starbucks in my research project with regards to the effects that the current corona virus outbreak is having on major companies such as Starbucks with regards to the shut down of stores in China and its effect on its supply chain. I have always admired Starbucks as both a student looking at its organizational structure and operations as well as a consumer purchasing Starbucks goodies.
I would very much appreciate it if you could please give me the contact details of whom I can speak to in order to discuss my topic and possibly obtain a gatekeepers letter.
My goal of this research project is to conclude to identify ways in which Starbucks can overcome the current impact made on the branches in China and the overall losses incurred by the Starbuck corporation.
With much thanks and appreciation I would really like to work closely with Starbucks on this Research project.
Yours Sincerely,
Andrea
