Identify the draft's problems in organization, style, you- attitude, and positive emphasis. b. Write a new letter to replace this draft. Dear Ms. Kemp: This is in response to your letter of last week appealing your suspension as a printing vendor for City College because of non-compliance with the prevailing wage requirement. I have had both our administrative and legal staff review the circumstances surrounding the suspension, and they have recommended that it be reduced to 30 days. Their recom- mendation is based strongly on the fact that you were not the owner of the business when the violation occurred which resulted in your suspension. In addition, your letter of last week promised that you will be in compliance for all, future jobs printed for City College. Since the letter informing you of the suspension was dated 33 days ago, this means that you are immediately reinstated as an approved vendor. My office, however, reserves the right to review future jobs performed by your company to ensure that you comply with the wage requirements and other requirements. If you have any questions or concerns about this action, please feel free to contact me. bom que bras 10.8 Revising a Positive Message (LO 10-1 to LO 10-6) As director of purchasing for City College, you maintain a list of approved vendors who must comply with all local, state, and federal laws.
