, You will need to plan and create a professionally structured email or memo based on information outlined in a scenario.

Scenario - Recommendation Email

You are a safety officer at Return to Calm, a company specializing in disaster clean-ups. While perusing a trade publication, you come across an article that describes how the industry your company is part of is changing and becoming more sensitive to environmental issues. This piques your interest. While examining some of the cleaning products used at your company, you notice one in particular that is very toxic. However, the product is provided by a long-standing supplier with deep ties to upper management.

Prepare an email to your immediate supervisor recommending that the company switch to a more environmentally friendly product. Indicate that you have researched a replacement to the one currently used. Point out some unique features of the product and attach a copy of the product listing its details as proof. Your recommendation should focus on environmental issues and how the company image might be enhanced. You also need to address how the change might affect relations with the current supplier.
