Creating an effective email
Not what you're looking for?
I need help with the following:
Please imagine you are VP Employee Communications at a large service firm, such as a bank, advertising or consulting firm.
Create an email (about 450 words) to all your employees to announce an email policy you have just created. You are not persuading: you are announcing. However, you must be tactful and professional. Remember: some of those folks have been around along time and some are beginning their very first jobs.
Then write a brief summary (about 300 words) explaining why you chose to emphasize these principles and why you wrote your message as you did. In this summary, please discuss your objectives and how you used the background readings.
below a some of the background readings:
