Abstract: Let

. For any finite set

B s u b s e t m a t h b b N

, we show that there exists a set

A s u b s e t m a t h b b N

such that

u n d e r l i n e d (A + B) = a l p h a

and

, where

u n d e r l i n e d (A + B)

and

are the lower and upper asymptotic densities of the set

A + B

, respectively. This partially answers a question by Faisant et al. A theorem involving the so-called highly sparse sets was proved in the previous arXiv version of this note; however, as pointed out by Sai Teja Somu, the proof of the theorem was flawed. The theorem is now an open question.
