US companies including Facebook Inc, Microsoft Corp, Google, Apple Inc and Amazon.com Inc are circulating an open letter to President Donald Trump expressing concern about his recent order on immigration and offering help fixing it and other policies, according to people familiar with the plan. 

Other companies involved include firms in finance, manufacturing, energy and consumer goods sectors. It’s not clear yet which companies will agree to sign on. The goal is to publish the open letter this week, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Changes are still being made to the document, and it’s possible it may not be released.
