Assignment Tasks

For this assignment you will write two $$emails$.$ In actuality, these will be written as discussion posts. Although this assignment will take place on a discussion forum, it is not one of the $5$ discussion activities for the term and is considered a separate assignment. One will be an email to the staff of a hypothetical company detailing a staff event, the second will be a reply to another student's version of that email, stating that you will be unable to attend for a reason of your choosing.

Part $1$: Direct Email $(5\%)$

You are to write a post formatted as an email $($see Module $7$Example Email$).$ This is to be posted in the discussion forums. Go to $$Activities$$ then $$Discussions$$ and under the $$Direct and Indirect Emails$$ thread post a new topic. For this assignment, pretend you are one of the following:

The office manager at an accounting firm planning an office retreat for $20$ people

The owner of a storage company planning a professional development day for five junior sales representatives

The Lead Paralegal at a law firm planning a Family Day afternoon for $12$ paralegals and their families

The Event Planner at a marketing company planning a staff holiday party

Using full sentences and one or two complete paragraphs, write an email to announce your plans to your work group. Make sure to include:

A subject line

A direct opening

Details

An action point in your conclusion

A salutation and a farewell

A full email block signature.
