For the following assignment, you will edit and rewrite two routine business messages. You will send the messages via email to their respective recipients. Since this exercise will be written in an email format, do not forget the subject line.

Scenario $1$

You are the district sales manager for the Green Champions Company. You have a budget meeting coming up for which you need to prepare. James works in the finance department, and you could use his help. You seldom work with James but know him mostly by his good reputation.

You prepared the following email to James:

Subject: What$$s up$!$

Jimbo,

Last year$$s budget planning shindig was a nightmare. No one new what$$s up$.$ Don$$t want that again. So send me the budget thing from last year so I can make up some stuff for next year. K$?$

Later.

$$Boss$$

Scenario $2$

You are still the district sales manager. Unfortunately, despite your team$$s outstanding performance, the company has decided to begin a new round of layoffs across the entire organization. The company has not specific identified any individuals, but you want to prepare your team for the bad news with a quick email.

You prepare the following email to the team:

Subject: Sorry, guys.

Howdy, all.

As you know revenue was low last quarter. You are doing very well, but the company peeps are really taking this hard. BTW, I think a lot of you will really enjoy being able to spend more time with your families. That$$s good, right?

Good luck with everything moving forward.

$$Boss$$
