Your goals:
- To implement your business communication knowledge
- To practice giving feedback
- To apply your email composition skills
Scenario: You are an intern at a sales office. Your supervisor has asked you for feedback on an email she wants to send. Your assignment is to respond to the email below (on p. 3) with remarks that enable revising, editing, and proofreading. Unlike traditional reworking of documents, being asked to proofread or to edit in the workplace should take into consideration your audience’s needs, your relationship to this person, and how to get improvements made effectively.
Assignment Goal: A successful response will 1) provide strategic and actionable feedback and 2) address the major errors professionally.
In addition to proofreading for grammar when or if appropriate, look for ways to improve organization, brevity, clarity, and overall content.
