(20 points) Nanaimo Sports Centre Vancouver Branch 8791 Austin Street Vancouver, BC Y2P 2P8 November 27, 2019 Ms. R. Ferguson Ferguson Athletic Apparel 315 Massey Cr. Port Moody, BC Z6T 3B5 Dear Ms. Ferguson: We're collecting for the local Nanaimo Sports Centre? We have chosen $28.00 as a fair minimum for businesses to give. But bigger amounts would be strongly recommended. Our Centre totally requires your donation. As we speak, about 430 teenagers don't gets to participate in Nanaimo Sports activities unless more money are donated. Nanaimo Sports is a truly worthwhile program. In my opinion, business leaders of any age should support it. I assume you are by now familiar with our organization, but if you've never heard about us, here is the scoop. Nanaimo Sports Centre is an organization for high school youngsters. They find work with local businesses and then form small businesses and then they opperate these businesses. During they operate the businesses they also learn about us running the business. This is good, I think, and we should all help. Hoping to get your substantial donation as soon as possible, Sincerely, William Barnett, President Part 2: Drafting Letter - Read the following case study carefully, and develop a document as required.

(30 points) You are part of a public relations department at a fast-growing consulting firm. You remember that not long ago all the employees used to share the same office floor, with a friendly kitchen area and frequent company-wide events, where everyone felt relaxed and comfortable. The atmosphere was dynamic and people were very supporting; many projects were developed in teams and employees connected easily with each other. About three years ago, the firm decided to expand as the business was successful and profitable, so most departments went through several stages of hiring new consultants, experts, and assistants. As a result, the office space became insufficient, and the company had to rent additional office space in the same building and at a nearby location. Since only two of the initial departments remained on the same floor and since new employees have joined the initial team, the communication around the company has changed, and the former places for lunch, coffee breaks, and informal chats have been redesigned to accommodate more people. The atmosphere has clearly changed; you have discussed about this situation with your manager, who also noticed the current facts. You, as a department, have also decided to implement a new program in order to improve communication among employees. As a result, your department would like to introduce video-testimonial contests to help with employees morale. These videos can then be posted on the company website showing positive aspects in different departments, accomplishments, advice, suggestions that employees offered each other, or congratulatory messages for special achievements. The president and his team are somewhat familiar with your idea, but the proposal for this new program has yet to be approved. Your task is to summarize your department's suggestions in an e-mail memo and inform the leadership about the video contest which will run throughout the company. The message should specify that a contest will be organized in order to select the videos, and employees can choose the method of recording: you can also suggest a few. The e- mail should also mention the possible costs involved, and that a mini-team will be set up to coordinate the contest. Be sure to include everyone's specific role on the team so that you build credibility with your audience. Also, you can make up any relevant names, dates, amounts. addresses, and any other information you consider pertinent and helpful to your message. O
