Choose one of the following topics for a persuasive email to a manager:
• Requesting a promotion
• Requesting a six-month paid maternity/paternity leave
Write a 700-word persuasive email that includes a well-crafted subject line, salutation, and signature block. Use the ARGU method as detailed in
Workplace Writing and be mindful of the need to maintain an appropriate balance of ethos, pathos, and logos. (HINT: In order for anything to be persuasive, you need research. No research--or minimal research--will lead to a very poorly graded assignment.)
