Comments:
I am writing to you regarding the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. I believe that in its present form it will prevent me from continuing as an independent Sunrider Distributor. The rule will make it difficult for me to sell Sunrider products. I run a professional business and do not coerce people into being a Sunrider distributor. Sunrider runs by the same ethics. They have a 60-day return policy for existing distributors that is applicable to all products including the Starter Pack. I do not understand why all companies practicing business in America are not obliged to show the record of lawsuits brought against them if you are requiring networking companies to do so. Requiring a list of 10 prior purchasers nearest to the prospective purchaser places me in an irresponsible position and puts these 10 people in a position for identity theft. I love my business and depend on this income for my retirement. I appreciate the work of the FTC to protect consumers, but I believe this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences and will jeopordize the businesses of many honest, hard-working people. Thank you for your time in considering my comments. Michele Khouri
