Please help me answer this proffessional communication question (Word count of 500 words).

Part A

Your task is to write an analysis and evaluation of a business letter supplied. Then, based on your analysis and evaluation, you will edit and redraft the original document. To do this effectively, you need to assess how far you think the document is successful in achieving the function or purpose you believe it is supposed to serve. If you think it is highly successful in achieving that purpose, then you must say why and illustrate the choices as regards content and presentation that have been made in order to achieve the desired effect. If on the other hand you think the document is only partly successful, or perhaps even not successful at all, in achieving its function, then your task is to explain why not. Success in this task depends on being able to articulate your impressions and justify them by pointing to relevant evidence. You must show your ability

-to describe the documents function in clear and commonsense terms

-to show how the document has been planned, written and presented in order to achieve that function

-to explain how far it is successful or unsuccessful in matching content, presentation and function, basing your account on evidence from the relevant theories and concepts from the module (e.g. politeness theory & rhetorical analysis)

-to edit and redraft the document based on your analysis

Overall you must argue a case, not simply express an opinion

BELOW IS THE LETTER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DRAFTED

Bai Li Manufacturing Company Ltd.

Gouliwei Industry Park

Lobang Road, Longgang District

Shenzhen, Guangdong, China

20 Jan 2021

Dear Mr. Li,

My company, RadFlight, has designed a cool new line of motion controlled drones that use smartphones as the controller. We are looking for a manufacturing partner, and your firm is one of the candidates were having a look at.

This will be our first experience of partnering with an overseas manufacturer, and before discussing specific technical details, Id like to explore two sets of general concerns. The first set are the issues that might come into play with any manufacturing partnership, but particularly one located at quite some distance from our offices. The particular questions here are transportation costs, delays, quality control, and the risk of intellectual property theft. Can you let me know what practices and policies you have in place to minimise the downsides here?

Second, U.K. companies that work with overseas production partners face an increasing amount of scrutiny from the news media and activist groups regarding such matters as workplace safety, worker rights, and environmentally sensitive manufacturing. We cant directly control what takes place in your factories, of course, but we would have to deal with the public relations fallout if any problems are uncovered in the factories that make our products. The fact that Apple and other major western companies have spent millions and worked for years to promote good conditions in overseas factories and still havent been able to avoid all problems raises concerns for a small company such as ours.

Please share your companys philosophy and strategies for mitigating these two sets of concerns.

We would like to commence production in the second quarter of 2021, so a quick reply on your part would be much appreciated.

All the very best,
