Hi,_x000D_
_x000D_
I have received quite a few upsetting phone calls from my VP and others regarding the constant and continuous barrage of emails and calls that everyone has been receiving from you SINCE our discussion._x000D_
We at Starbucks look for partners and suppliers that align with our core values;  Consideration of others is one of them and we ask you to respect this._x000D_
_x000D_
Please discontinue all messaging and we will reach out to you in the future if we have a need._x000D_
_x000D_
Thanks again,_x000D_
