1 abuse: "Abuse" is a synonym for "mistreatment" or "maltreatment". In the letter, Polly writes: "I'm not one to hedge the issue, so I will simply come out and say it: several of you have abused our copier and as a direct result of your ABUSE, brought it to an untimely end".
2 issue: An "issue" is a problem or concern. Polly writes: "I'm not one to hedge the ISSUE, so I will simply come out and say it: several of you have abused our copier and as a direct result of your abuse, brought it to an untimely end". "To hedge the issue" is an expression which means to avoid or evade a question or problem.
3 end: "End" is indeed a synonym for "finish". Polly writes: "several of you have abused our copier and as a direct result of your abuse, brought it to an untimely END".
4 beneath: "Beneath" means "under" or "underneath". Polly writes: "Several wads (=piles) of chewing gum wedged BENEATH the paper tray"
