Negative News Message Assignment

Julie Behar has owned and operated Behar Promotional Products and Technology for over 10 years. It was a small business that started up, initially, based upon burning and mailing software on compact discs. Now, due to technology that process has been rendered obsolete. Orders for the software on CD has been cut to less than a third of what it was five years ago. This has made the division less than profitable. Most customers ask for and download software products from the Behar website. Because of this Behar has decided to close the CD department which employs five technicians and one administrative staff person who handle this process and mailing of the CDs. Right now all other divisions are at full employment so these employees will be laid off. Your assignment is to write a letter to these employees informing them of the decision conveying the following in a negative news block letter format: 1. The closing of the division and the reason why. 2. The unfortunate termination of their employment. 3. A date for final employment 4. Benefits available upon termination (use your imagination) 5. Human Resources contacts (use your imagination) 6. Courteous close Address: Behar Promotional Technologies 27th Avenue SE Everett WA 98208

Questions to follow below

Use formal block letter style to write your message. A video demonstrating block letter style is provided in the Module. Figure A.3 on p. 404 of the text also shows an example of block letter format.

Be sure to review the entire rubric to understand the expectations and grading method. Here are a few pointers for this assignment.

1. Be sure to include a company address and the recipient's address in the correct order. Dates should be written out completely.
2. Start the message with a buffer sentence. The first sentence should not reveal the bad news. Your telecommuting application is denied is not correct. It uses "you-viewpoint" but since the news is negative, use of "your" in this example is incorrect.
3. Next, provide reasoning that would justify the negative news, but do not give the bad news yet! Candidates want to know that the process for candidate selection was well thought out and fair.
4. Give the bad news in more positive terms than stated in the assignment. It can be done! Also, be sure the bad news is not mentioned until the end of the 2nd paragraph or 3rd paragraph of the letter.
5. Follow the bad news with positive statement(s) and an alternative way forward. The closing sentence should not refer to the bad news.
6. Avoid personal statements in this formal rejection letter. Your letter will likely go into Tony's personnel file and it will have your signature on it.
7. Do not copy phrases from the assignment. Instead, rewrite the ideas using your own words. Remember to use bulleted lists (parallel constructions) when it strengthens communication, especially positive communication.
