You can do something as the following, you can also add additional logic to force a user to enter good input, so the script does not exit, but I'll leave that to you.

Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo "What report do you want?"
echo "A) boxes with errors"
echo "B) boxes with more than 5 errors"
echo "C) Service groups that have thrown errors"
read CHOICE

case $CHOICE in
        A|a)
                echo "Choice was $CHOICE"
                ;;
        B|b)
                echo "Choice was $CHOICE"
                ;;
        C|c) 
                echo "Choice was $CHOICE"
                ;;
          *)
                echo "Valid Choices are A,B,C"
                exit 1
                ;;
