Write an email to suggest an idea.
Similar to Grace Lee's suggestion in Figure 3, write an email to a current or previous employer. Think of an idea that would improve the business: a new procedure, an upgraded system, an innovative product, or some other way to increase sales, improve service, or increase operational efficiencies. Choose something simple enough to convey in a short message. Using the direct plan, put your main point up front, and be sure to use a clear, specific subject line to capture attention.
