PART ONE $$ DRAFTING CORRESPONDENCES: $($Completed with the members in your group$).$ Follow the instructions specifically below to draft an e$-$mail, a memo, and a letter as a team. How you decide to divide the work is up to you. Please read the $$Tips for Working with your Team$$ handout under the Content tab for ideas of how to manage the workload and communicate effectively with team members. Please draft each of the documents as outlined below but do NOT actually send ANY of them out$-$ they are fictitious for this class only!

DRAFT $1=$ E$-$MAIL $($CHAPTER $9$ Positive Messages$)$: E$-$mails can be sent either within organizations or to individuals$/$group outside the organization and are becoming the most frequently used communication tool within an organization; remember that e$-$mails should still use more formal grammar, punctuation, and writing $($not using texting type language that is allowed with Instant Message or Texting$).$ Review Figure $9\mathrm{.}5($p$.259),9\mathrm{.}7($p$.265),$ and A$\mathrm{.}5(547)$ to understand sequencing and how to organize your message. Also review the $$Formatting Reminders$-$ Emails, Memos, Letters$$ handout within $$content tab$$ under $$Assignment Guidelines folder$$ to understand formatting expectations for e$-$mails.

E$-$mail Scenario: Assume you work at TARGET. As a team, use what you$$ve learned in this chapter about good$-$news messages to draft an e$-$mail to your sales team at sales@target.net explaining that the corporate office has decided to give all full$-$time employees an additional three days $(3$ days$)$ of vacation off to be used within the next twelve $(12)$ months, due to the increase in sales. Make up the details explaining how they can elect to use this extra time off, time parameters to when they must have used this time, how they can use the days $($all at once or a few days a time, and how to notify HR and supervisors if they intend to take advantage of this week off including how much notice they must give to accommodate scheduling. $\{$NOTE: Do NOT actually send an e$-$mail out; rather, just draft an e$-$mail including all of the necessary parts of an e$-$mail like the To: line, the From: line, the Subject line, etc. so that I can see that you understand what is included in an e$-$mail.
