Here is the open letter:
LEGOLAND
Florida’s Open Letter to Terminated Lifeguard Thomas Lopez
July 11, 2012
Dear Tomas Lopez,
It has come to our attention that last
week you were terminated for leaving your lifeguard post on Hallandale Beach to
help save a drowning man. Thomas, we find your efforts to be the work of a true
model citizen. And, believe me, we know
what it takes to be a model citizen. At
LEGOLAND, we call all of our employees “Model Citizens.” Part of this
“citizenship” requires that we do whatever it takes to maintain the safety of
our park guests. Your quick-thinking and life-saving skills demonstrated last
week prove that you would be an excellent addition to our team.
On behalf of LEGOLAND Water Park, I
would like to extend to you a lifeguard position at Central Florida’s newest
theme park. We would also like to extend
this offer of employment to your fellow lifeguards who quit their jobs in
support of you.
We would be honored to welcome you
and your fellow brave lifeguards onto the LEGOLAND Florida team. If you are
interested in accepting our offer, please call us at (877) 350-LEGO.
Sincerely,
Adrian
Jones
General
Manager
LEGOLAND
Florida
