Write an email in response to this scenario. Please keep in mind that some of the language here is non-standard for professional communication, in many cases wordy, full of clichs and passive voice, and that the information is not organized in a way that makes the routine request clear. Your task is to re-organize and revise the message to establish your credibility and to make it clear, correct, concise, complete, courteous, and credible for your audience. You are the regional manager of ATQH Nutrition, a nationwide food distributor that employs 25,000 people, many of whom work in your network of warehouses. Last week, it was announced that the U.S. economy added 517,000 jobs and that the unemployment rate fell to 3.4 percent, the lowest rate since 1969 . This news poses a potential problem for your company: a high demand for labor. Over the past year, your company has struggled to fill hundreds of vacant positions and has been forced to raise wages to attract workers. Another potentially less-expensive solution for attracting workers may be for your company to improve the environment of the warehouses themselves. A company named Recreational Equipment Inc. recently made news when it built a new warehouse in North Carolina that features a fitness center, skylights to provide natural light for its workers, and a nearby hiking trail that could be walked during breaks. You are skeptical that the expense of adding these amenities will provide a return on investment. However, it's possible that your industry is permanently moving away from the idea that warehouses must be bleak, dreary utilitarian structures and you do not want to be caught behind the eight ball. For this reason, you want an internal report to be written that explores the feasibility of incorporating some attractive features into your distribution centers. You want a report that provides research findings about the following amenities: first, skylights, which would provide more natural light for your employees. The research should contain information from at least one scientific journal and should be backed with data taken from a survey given to all warehouse employees company-wide to see if this would be a popular option. Second, you want to know about providing hiking trails at all of the warehouses, and this research must include a cost analysis of any land acquisition and construction. You should also use the same survey of your employees to determine their preference. Third, you want to know if fitness centers should be offered in your warehouses. Besides using the employee survey to see if this would be wanted, you want to know what the cost of building and equipping a fitness center would be, and you also want data from other companies that shows the usage rates of internal facilities such as the one you envision. You have asked Roosevelt Topanga, the director of ATQH Quality Assurance, to write the report. It should be completed by Friday, April 28 and be sent directly to you electronically (and on paper) to you and your leadership team. A letter of transmittal must accompany the document. Besides the research findings (which are described in the previous paragraph) a set of conclusions about the various amenities must be included. Also, a set of recommendations You have asked Roosevelt Topanga, the director of ATQH Quality Assurance, to write the report. It should be completed by Friday, April 28 and be sent directly to you electronically (and on paper) to you and your leadership team. A letter of transmittal must accompany the document. Besides the research findings (which are described in the previous paragraph) a set of conclusions about the various amenities must be included. Also, a set of recommendations must also be given in the report. An Executive Summary, no longer than two pages, should also be provided. Your task: write an email to Roosevelt Topanga, the director of ATQH Quality Assurance, that gives directions for writing a feasibility report about improving the environment in your company's warehouses. In addition to providing a written record of what you want the report to discuss, the message that you write should explain why the report is necessary, and the email should read courteously because a good deal of effort will be needed to produce the document. Your message must: - Be submitted in 12-point Times New Roman font, no longer than one page, and single-spaced; - Be written entirely by you in your voice--no quotation from the assignment sheet is allowed; - Use graphic highlighting to help the reader understand the message. Do not use the yellow highlighting feature in Word to provide emphasis or to help the reader understand the message. Additionally, you should not use different colored fonts for this message. - Begin with a header that includes to/from email address information, and an appropriate subject line; - Focus only on the important information, leaving out distracting or irrelevant details. Please note this additional information: - You can incorporate some details of your own into the letter, provided they are not
