Hello, can you help me fix my rough draft? My first paragraph needs to have a buffer, reasons, bad news, and forward. Then I have to move my second sentence from the first paragraph after the "Sioux City Council" to deliver the bad news. He also told me to be more polite in the last paragraph.

I will include some background information about the assignment:

You are the owner of The Chelsea Hotel, a 50-unit hotel located in Sioux City, Iowa. As part of your business plan, your hotel is a member of various local economic development organizations, such as the Sioux City Chamber of Commerce and the Sioux City Tourism Bureau. However, you now wish to leave the Tourism Bureau.

In your opinion, the Tourism Bureau has gone against your business's interests in these ways:

? Your hotel pays $6,000 per year in dues to the Bureau, but in your estimation, you are not receiving your money's worth. Over the past five years, The Chelsea Hotel has never been featured on the cover of The Chamber of Commerce Bulletin while other hotels have. In the last issue, the Bulletin ran a story that rained praise down on one of your chief competitors.

? The Bureau did not effectively fight a 3% hotel tax that was levied by the Sioux City Council in 2021, a move that made hotels across the river in South Sioux City, Nebraska more competitive by comparison. In an era where many hotel reservations are made online, this has had an impact on your business since consumers are more able to easily compare prices. During the City Council's deliberations about the tax, no representatives of the Tourism Bureau spoke publicly about the increase.

You believe you will be able to more effectively use the $6,000 if you handle promotions and marketing yourself. However, such a move will likely alienate you from other members of the business community, so you must take care to write the letter carefully since it will likely be passed on to all of the members of the Bureau. Furthermore, you have been friends with the President of the Tourism Bureau since you were both in high school and this letter will probably be seen as personal if it is not done well.

Lastly, you must write a signed business letter to resign. Tourism Bureau bylaws require that all members submit a signed letter to request to join the organization (which you did nine years ago), or to leave the organization.

Your task: write a business letter to Nico Paffgen, President of the Sioux City Tourism Bureau, 1000 Commercial Ave., Sioux City IA, 68778, informing the organization that you are leaving the organization and will no longer contribute $6,000 in dues.

This is the rubric:

This is the first paragraph of a bad-news message. Your objective is to make sure the reader understands and accepts the bad news, and that no further correspondence is necessary. Typically, you will want to begin with a buffer that demonstrates empathy towards the reader, and creates common ground with him or her. Here, you can refer to facts that you can both agree are true, or a principle or idea that you both agree with.

In the second section of a bad-news message, you should give the reasons for the bad news. This is the most important part of the letter, and typically the longest. If your reader accepts and understands the reasons for the bad news, he or she is much more likely to accept the news itself. In a longer letter, this section can take up two or more paragraphs. Remember not to rush through the reasons!

The bad news itself should appear after you've laid out your entire case. Place it somewhere in the middle of a paragraph so that it's not spotlighted. However, if you are concerned that your reader might miss the bad news, you could move it up higher in the paragraph. It is important that you do not give any more reasons for your decision after you've let you reader down; at this point, it's possible that your reader will be reading less carefully or not reading anymore at all.

Now that you've given the reader the bad news, the message should end quickly. Offer some kind of good wishes, and do not refer to the bad news again.

THE CHELSEA HOTEL, LLC P.O. Box 421, SIOUX CITY, IOWA 67321 October 5, 2022 Nico Paffgen President Sioux City Tourism Bureau 1000 Commercial Ave., Sioux City IA, 68778 avoid Nico Paffgen We regretfully inform you that The Chelsea Hotel will be giving notice of its resignation from the Sioux City Tourism Bureau. We have decided that, after nine years as members of the organization, our continued participation there is no longer in the company's best interests. The Chelsea Hotel hasn't been featured on the cover of The Chamber of Commerce Bulletin in any of the preceding five years, in contrast to other hotels. Other hotels, though, have been highlighted. One of your most deadly foes was lauded in an article in the most recent edition of the Bulletin. This is just one example of how unsuccessfully the Bureau has promoted our business over the years. The Sioux City Council levied a 3% hotel tax on the lodgings in the city in 2021. The South Sioux City hotels on the Nebraska side of the river are more competitive than their South Sioux City counterparts since the Tourism Bureau did not take any action to oppose this levy. Since most hotel reservations are now made online, this has impacted our company's bottom line as clients can more easily compare prices. Bad News s We believe we can use the $6,000 available more effectively if we handle the marketing and advertising ourselves. We appreciate everything the Tourism Bureau has done for us over the Future years, but we feel that, at this time, choosing this course is best for our business. Sincerely, Thalia Urquince 1.
