Dear Beth,
No offense or anything like that, but a caring friend would like you to know that you have a body odor problem. Please do not be offended – many people suffer from body odor and do not even know about it! We are human and sometimes stink, but there is a lot you can do to fix your problem:
1. Take a bath daily. Use mild soap everywhere – in every nook and cranny and crevices, paying special attention to your underarms and private parts.
2. Use deodorant. Every day. Every grocery store, pharmacy, and convenience store has deodorant and is relatively inexpensive. If you sweat a lot, choose an antiperspirant.
3. DO NOT try to mask the smell with cologne. You will just stink even more.
4. Wash your laundry regularly. Dirty clothes stink!
5. If you’ve already done all of the above but still experience foul body odor, you may have a condition called “hyperhidrosis” or excessive sweating. See your doctor.
6. Visit nooffenseoranything.com/bodyodorsolutions.html for more information on dealing with this annoying problem.
Sincerely,

For a more individual approach, you can always create an anonymous e-mail account (if used « [email protected] »?) And send your message in such a way.
Perhaps you would like to complement your message with a gift. We hear Amazon sometimes include the sender’s name and address on gifts, so Worst Gifts staff suggest paying for deodorant or a luxury bubble bath (hey, maybe something nice) with a gift card .
