Business Letter Assignment Executive Summary To: MGG 303 B6, B1 Fall 2020 From: Professor Emerson Assigned: Thursday, 24 September, 2020 *Target due date: Thursday, 6 October, 2020 *(NOTE: “soft” due date pending purpose and recipient) The Formal Business Letter assignment is a mini-project that requires you to travel back in time, to business communication practices of long, long ago. In preparation for your communication “time travel,” we’ll discuss how this fossilized genre has evolved since the days of the old-fashioned typewriter, when real carbon paper roamed the earth! Rationale:  The formal business letter is still an active channel of communication  The skills of properly preparing and physically mailing a formal business letter are assumed  The information conveyed in a formal business letter tends to be of high importance, thus outranking its younger relatives (the email and the memo)  The signed letter constitutes a binding and permanent record of the correspondence Assignment Specs: 1. Rhetorical situation: a. Audience: your letter must be physically mailed to a living, SENTIENT BEING of your choice (most likely human) b. Purpose: possibilities include but are not limited to … 2 i. A formal thank-you letter to your interviewee (field research project) ii. A customer service claim iii. An employment/internship cover letter iv. A letter of appreciation to a former teacher or mentor v. A letter of appeal to a government official expressing your views on a pressing political issue vi. A letter of appeal to a university administrator expressing a topic of concern vii. A “mock” letter written in parody of the form (for example a formal letter of complaint to one’s pet for the countless interruptions of Zoom class!) viii. . . . other creative alternatives provided the recipient is a sentient life form 2. Written component: a. 1-page maximum, properly formatted business style letter (block paragraphs), to include legible, cursive, hand-written signature b. Properly addressed and stamped business envelope for physically mailing c. Complete process reflection 3. Digital component: a. For full credit on this mini-project, you must visually document the physical mailing of your letter through a U.S. Postal Service mail box (note: a USPS mailbox – not a private carrier service – is required) i. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS LIVING ABROAD: your letter may be mailed to a recipient in your home country using your nation’s postal service. b. Your media file (video, photo gallery), along with a digital version of the letter itself, must be posted to your Business Letter project file 3 Submission and scoring:  Students are to inform Professor Emerson by email when all components (letter, envelope, documentation of mailing) are complete and in your UB Box Master File  NOTE: I will no longer accept stand-alone documents as valid project submissions!  Holistic grading for this project will reflect: 1. Effective use of the genre to achieve a specific rhetorical purpose (content, mechanics) 2. Successful completion of all parts of the project

Dear Dr. Smith:
It is my sincere hope that you are faring on well. I am writing to inform you of the rampant insecurity around the campus. Theft cases and general insecurity have increased sharply over the past two months.
The issue seems to have escalated after some of the security guards got laid off. There are no frequent patrols on campus because of inadequate personnel and limited security equipment. People who do not belong to the campus can now enter the school premises as they please because there is no one to check for the student identification documents.
Cases of theft have tremendously increased, and most of the students are living in fear. Some have already signed out of their hostels to seek accommodation off-campus. The ones that are left are unable to continue with their daily evening and night activities.
It has had adverse effects on the performance of the evening classes. Lecturers are complaining of low attendance and the inability of the students to concentrate in class. Their grades have taken a turn for the worse, affecting the institution's overall performance.
The issue of insecurity is affecting the lives of students in all aspects. Upon close observation, you will notice that a lot has changed because of the tense atmosphere that hinders productivity. The only way to solve this issue is if more security guards and better security equipment are hired and bought. I hope you consider my request to...
