Assignment task: Tasha Alder, who is a colleague in another business similar to the one you work in, has sent you a letter; she would like to know if your business would be interested in using the payroll software her business developed. You wouldn't. Switching to new software would take a lot of time, training and would cost money. Moreover, the software you're already using works perfectly well for everyone. However, you know that Ms. Alder is a valuable connection, so you want to decline her request sensitively.
Feel free to make up things like contact information, names of businesses, and dates.
Instructions:
1. Write a letter to Tasha Alder that declines her request
2. Once you've finished your letter, leave a few blank lines, and then answer the following questions:
- How did you structure your letter? (Consider both the overall document and individual paragraphs)
- Why did you structure your letter this way?
