Dear Mr. Winkle:
Recently you wrote to our Corporate Headquarters in Irving about your preference for the odor of our gasoline. Although we are very proud of our fuel quality, it is intended for use in motor vehicles rather than on the skin or for its odor properties. There are many reasons why the practice of deliberately using gasoline on the skin is not appropriate or wise. We would advise you to discontinue this practice. We appreciate your interest and hope you continue to use Exxon gasoline in your vehicles. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Very truly yours,

 David E. Allan
