Assignment: Bad-New Message
Situation and Task:
You own an Italian restaurant in Chico. Recently Nancy Kramer, a food critic from San Francisco had dinner at your restaurant while visiting her daughter, Kathryn at Chico State. During your conversation with Nancy she raved about the sauce on the pasta she ordered. You had a nice conversation with her, and you thought all was good, until you received an email from her expressing the desire to publish a story about your restaurant. As a condition to publication, she wanted to include the recipe for your marinara sauce. While you are flattered by the attention, there is no way you are giving your grandmother's recipe away. Grandma let you have the recipe for the restaurant with the condition that you never give it away. You have other family recipes you could offer, but the sauce is off limits! Nancy is a well known food critic and rarely hears "no." One of the unique features of her articles is the inclusion of the cook's recipes. Not many critics can pull this off, but Ms. Kramer has made quite a name for herself by doing it. You compose a tactful letter letting Nancy know the recipe cannot be published.
