This is should be a technical email. Assume that you have been employed in the position of your choosing at M$-$Global for the last

four months. Business is going well and you are enjoying your job, but the busy holiday season

is fast approaching. Your six$-$month training period won't end for another two months and, as

per M$-$Global policy, you have reached the total number of allotted absences allowed for

someone who is still considered a new hire. Your new hire packet indicates that you are allowed

four absences of any kind before your boss has to be consulted for approval. Company policy

also indicates that your boss will only approve and excuse absences beyond those allotted to

new hires for work related activities. You've already missed two consecutive work days when you

came down with a severe cold. You missed another two days because you wanted to extend

your weekend to celebrate your birthday. Next month, you will be in your best friend's wedding,

in another state, but you forgot to ask for time off. You will have to miss two days of work to

participate in the wedding. Write an email to your boss, asking that you be granted permission,

without penalty, for missing two more work days during your training period. As you compose

your email, consider the context$-$a busy, holiday season is approaching, everyone will want

time off to spend with their families and friends$-$and you probably should have not extended

your birthday weekend. Your boss and immediate supervisor is Senior Executive Human

Resource Manager, Cecil McDuff and he is known for holding the M$-$Global employees he

oversees to exceptionally high standards. He is the type of person who expects work to take

precedence over employees' personal lives. What to Communicate $($for each paragraph$)$:

Paragraph One: Mr$.$ McDuff will need to know why you're writing, where you're needing to go$,$

and for what reason. Specific dates and location$($s$)$ are a must. Paragraph Two: should be about

how you plan to make this a work$-$related trip, since the only possible way your extra days off

will be approved is if they're worked related. This paragraph must contain the details that are

work related. For example, maybe you're meeting with an important client from another M$-$

Global department who will be attending the wedding, or maybe you're going for any other

work$-$related reason you can think of$.$ If you'd like to continue the fictional narrative that you

began in the first email to Vice President Camp, this is fine, but you should not use any

mentioning of Camp in your email to Senior Executive McDuff. Dragging Camp into this email

would be unethical, especially since she is not going to be a recipient of this email. Paragraph

Three: should be about how you plan to make up for the requested time off if it is approved.

You might offer to work extra during the upcoming holiday season, for example.

Please note that Mr$.$ McDuff is not as "carefree" as Vice President Camp. Senior Executive

McDuff is also your direct boss. He is the person who hired you; therefore, there is no need to

introduce yourself to him like you should have done for the Camp email. Make sure your tone is

appropriate for the type of content you choose to include in your email. To understand tone,

you need to read the prompt and "get a feel" for McDuff's personality, based on the information

made available to you. Ethics is an important part of this assignment. What this means is: you

MUST divulge all necessary information. You may not bend the truth or lie. You are allowed,

however, to "make$-$up$"$ any details you want to fit the criteria for the assignment. You are not

ethically bound to disclose how you spent your days off. Doing so is also a waste of time, so get

to the point of your email as soon as possible.
