FTC Letter Writing Instructions We suggest that your communication with the FTC cover the following areas: 1. Your personal story  Years selling Arbonne products  How selling Arbonne’s products contributes to your family finances  How selling Arbonne’s products has helped you develop as a person (confidence, communication skills, business experience, etc.) 2. Seven-day waiting period  Casts direct selling plan in a negative light  Record keeping and administrative problems  Causes unnecessary delays 3. Litigation reporting  Unfair that it does not distinguish between winning and losing lawsuits 4. References  Impractical to find 10 nearest Consultants  Privacy issues due to ID theft and safety 5. Appreciate FTC’s goals, but  Understand that are fraudulent groups out there, but the FTC’s proposed rule would unfairly target legitimate direct selling businesses
