Comments:
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing this letter because I am concerned that if proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993 is adopted in its present form, my livelihood as a Nature's Sunshine distributor will be significantly undermined. Briefly: Seven-Day Waiting Period -Casts direct selling plan in a negative light -Leads to record keeping and administrative problems -Causes unnecessary delays Litigation Reporting -Is unfair that it does not distinguish between winning and losing lawsuits References -Is impractical to find 10 nearest distributors -Raises privacy issues due to ID theft and safety Appreciate FTC's Goals, But -We understand there may be fraudulent groups out there, but the FTC's proposed rule would unfairly target legitimate direct selling businesses. In 1999 I began my career with Nature’s Sunshine to learn a natural approach to improve my health. It was easy to share my experiences with others and the bonus was that I could make a living doing what I loved. Please reconsider your actions. Sincerely,
