Mr Clyde Knight, Jr.

Gxxxxxxxx, NY 12345Dear Mr. Knight:
Subject: TIRE INFLATION DEVICEYour letter of June 19 to Mr. Butler has been directed to me, since I respond to all outside submissions of new technology to Eaton Corporation.
Eaton is willing to evaluate your concept, but it will have to be on a non-confidential basis, which would require a waiver from you. I surmise from your letter that this is not acceptable and I must, therefore, decline your offer.
If, however, you should reconsider and agree to a waiver, please sign one copy of the enclosed form, and return it along with any technical material you wish to submit, preferably a patent or patent application.
Because this waiver may affect your rights, you will no doubt want to obtain legal counsel before signing.
If you do proceed, I will direct the information to the appropriate group for evaluation and subsequently advise you whether Eaton is interested in pursuing the technology.
Sincerely,
Donald D. Lanese
Outside Submissions Agent
