Question
Project 2: Business Letter (100 possible points)
Prepare a formal business letter, properly formatted, in response to one of the following prompts. The letter must be a minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 1,000 words long (approximately 1?2 pages).
See Appendix A in your textbook for guidance and examples for formatting letters.
? Imagine your ideal commencement speaker for Webber’s graduation ceremony. Write a letter inviting that person to deliver a speech on campus. Detail the specifics of both the occasion of the speech and the community of Webber. Make sure you include the date/time/location of the ceremony and details for the invitee to respond. Refer to the chapters on persuasive messaging in business writing in order to convince the speaker to accept your invitation. You will need to do some research about Webber and the person you are inviting to speak. I have used this assignment in my previous classes. However, I expect 100% of your letter to be in your own words.
OR
? Write a letter to a commissioner of a professional sport on an issue of your interest (e.g., steroid use, eligibility, ticket cost, player pay, etc.). Feel free to be creative with this letter, but keep the topic professional. Try to persuade the commissioner to agree with your position on the issue you choose. Be sure to use specific reasons that support your position. You may need to do
some research on the issue before writing your letter. DO NOT copy large amounts of text from anywhere on the web (or anywhere else).
OR
? Imagine that you work as the Director of Development for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida. Write an original fundraising letter telling supporters about recent outreach, events, volunteer opportunities, etc., and soliciting donations for the organization. You will likely need to research the organization (http://bbbscfl.org/) and its mission/activities before writing the
letter. In particular, think about what motivates donors to give to an organization. DO NOT copy large amounts of text from anywhere on the web (or anywhere else). You may briefly quote material like the organization’s mission, but otherwise the vast majority of the letter should be in your own words.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when writing your letter:
? Your letter should have an introduction that establishes the purpose, a middle that fully develops the message (as appropriate to the purpose), and a courteous closing that makes clear what you expect to happen.
? Avoid starting your letter with “my name is.” (Your name and title should be at the bottom.)
? Plan and outline what you are going to say before you start writing.
? Always be brief, clear, specific, and professional.
? Keep your paragraphs to one idea each. Break up long paragraphs of text and organize by topic.
? Develop your ideas logically and carefully. Again, consider organization.
? Be sure to proofread your work. The final draft should be grammatically/mechanically perfect.
