(Student Name) (Private Sector Entity) Anytown, USA 12345 Dear Mr./Ms.(Student Name): My name is Randy Ready and I serve as your point of contact for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). As a component of our nation's critical infrastructure, your company's operations are vital and essential, not only to your community, but to our country’s homeland security efforts as a whole. Therefore, it is imperative that your organization take certain steps and measures that will ensure your essential services will continue in the midst of a critical incident. To that end, I am requesting a report be forwarded to me as soon as possible that provides the following information:

Summary concerning your organization and what you feel your roles/responsibilities are related to overall homeland security efforts.

The steps your organization has taken, whether internally or externally, to ensure these expectations are fulfilled.

Conversely, provide information concerning challenges your organization faces that serve as an impediment in meeting your homeland security commitments.

Lastly, what do you expect from DHS in this collaborative effort and how can we as a Federal agency enhance our level of support?

I look forward to receiving your report, as it will serve as a vital component of our future planning efforts. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. Randy Ready Regional Liaison,

U.S. Department of Homeland Security
