Correspondence Packet

(email, memo, letter)

For this assignment you will produce a folder of professional correspondence.  You will need to draw from actual personal experience, or imagine a scenario that will satisfy the assignment.  Please refer to Chapters 3 and 4 in Successful Writing at Work for formatting information. Remember: The key to successful professional correspondence is brevity and coherence.

• One email, written to a co-worker and discussing a problem in the workplace.
• One short memo, directed to employees in your charge and explaining a new product or procedure. Use Figure 3.1 (page 71) as a guide; your memo should look (be formatted) like this sample.
• One professional business letter, directed to a consumer who is requesting an estimate for your/your company's product(s) and/or services. Use Figure 4.3 (page 100) as a guide.
