Instructions: Utilizing the information from your readings and letter samples, write a professional Bad News letter (sometimes referred as an adjustment letter) based on the following scenario.
You are the manager of Lowes and received a letter from a Ms. Riley Smith, a customer. The customer letter of December 15,2022 outlines that the customer purchased a Vevor Stove Bonfire Smokeless Fire Pit for $287 on November 03,2022. On December 14,2022, the customer found an advertisement from Target selling the same item for a lower price of $254. Lowes policy is they will not be undersold and, if a customer finds another retailer selling the same item at a lower price within 30 days of his or her purchase, Lowes will refund the difference. Because it is past the 30 days, Ms. Smith cannot get a refund for the difference in price.
Your task is to use the You Attitude discussed in your book as you write a Bad News Letter to the customer: In your Bad News Letter back to the customer, explain why you CANNOT refund the difference. Make up the name and title for the manager and any reasonable and specific details needed to write a professional letter denying the customers request. However, indicate in the adjustment letter that you are willing to offer the customer some incentive (you decide what is fair) for her trouble. Your letter should include a letterhead design with a logo and contact information, an introduction, major point and conclusion. Use a professional letter format (see examples in your book). Avoid clichs and communicate honestly and professionally. ELIMINATE passive voice throughout your correspondence. Correct writing (grammar free) counts as part of your grade, so proof carefully. I will give you feedback on your draft, but you dont have the opportunity to revise and submit it again. Proof carefully and good luck!
