Dear Mr. Pruitt,
First let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. E.A. Thackaberry, and I am your boss. Actually, I’m your boss’ boss, since the President of the United States technically works for me and the other American citizens. I am writing this letter to you because it seems you have failed to grasp some basic scientific concepts which are critical for your new job as head of the Environmental Protection Agency. As your boss, I want to help you, because I want you to succeed in your new role.

First, the statement above is wrong.
