Title

It must be noted that The American Tobacco Company asked XXXXXX Tobacco and Candy Inc. for an estimate of the losses due to their employee's embezzlement of cartons of cigarettes which, based upon that estimate, was what they would reimburse XXXXXX Tobacco and Candy.

The owner, upon informing The American Tobacco Company that due to the huge volume of theft from his Wholesale house in the estimated amount of over $110,000.00, an audit would produce a "near" exact amount, but that due to the severe negative financial impact the American Tobacco Company employee's embezzlement had caused, he was unable to afford to pay for one.

The American Tobacco Company both refused to fund the audit, which should have been their primary responsibility to perform to determine if the $110,000.00 was an amount of inventory below what was actually stolen, and they refused to honor their promise to pay XXXXXX Tobacco and Candy, Inc. the estimated figure which, in my view and calculations, was quite conservative.
