Pretend that you are taking Bus class this fall, and you have a group presentation later in the semester. Your professor has just had you put groups together, and you have already had your first meeting with the other students in your group. You are very excited - your group of six students has come up with a really interesting topic about which to present, and it seems like everybody in your group is going to be hard-working - they certainly participated well in your meeting. You feel like you really have a good group of students with whom to work. Now... a problem. You've received an email from another student (make up a first name starting with the letter P) - and this student wants to join your group. You didn't realize it at first, but this student is actually a cousin of yours that you don't know very well! You don't know him/her/them very well at all, and haven't seen the person in a few years, but you remember! This student (with the name you chose, starting with the letter P) hasn't been able to find a group. But your group seems perfect! You have just the right number of students (the maximum allowed, in fact). You could probably get permission from your professor to add one more student, especially since it's a family member - but you really prefer not to. You don't already want to ask for favours from your group. And this cousin... well... he/she/they really aren't a hard worker. You know they will be lazy. You know they will depend on you too much to help. So you really don't think this person would make a good addition to your group. Saying no will inconvenience your cousin, though. Write an email to the student (in English, of course, even if your native language isn't English - we'll pretend that your cousin only knows English), giving this bad news as gently but effectively as possible. Remember that one of the goals of giving bad news is to do it in such a way that you are unlikely to get your decision questioned. The length of this email should be whatever you think is needed to do the job as well as possible. You should submit this letter in PDF format via URCourses by the deadline above. Remember that the quality and organization of the writing would affect its success, and thus, will affect my grading. Grading Rubric: Effectiveness 50% - have you done a good job of convincing? Have you used effective and sensible means to convince? (Have you gone too far or just far enough?) Grammar/Spelling 20% - are your grammar and spelling perfect? Have you avoided awkwardnesses in construction?
