Internal Proposal - Write my Essay

Write my Essay

Purpose:  To differentiate tone and persuasive strategies between the memo to upper management and the email to employees as a way to negotiate relationships in workplace communication. 

Assignment: You will need to research and develop guidelines for appropriate email use in the workplace and present your guidelines and your reasons behind them to two distinct audiences.  As you do your research, please keep in mind the three majors areas for discussion:  privacy, productivity and professionalism.  This assignment will have two parts:

1)                 MEMO:  Write a memo to the appropriate audience (perhaps upper management) who needs to be convinced that email guidelines should be implemented in order to maintain a professional image even through electronic communications.  In order to be persuasive, you will need to research and document some real world examples of email problems and their consequences. The memo should also explain how the guidelines will be implemented and enforced; you do not need to list the actual guidelines here.   The memo shall be typed, single-spaced, approximately 1-1 ½ pages long, and include a “Works Cited” page; you will need to cite your research. 

2)                 EMAIL: Send an email to all employees of the company to explain the guidelines and how they will be implemented and enforced.  Please send the email to yourself and print it out so that the format will be appropriate. Your email should adhere to the guidelines you are proposing.

Additional Instructions:  In order to have a better sense of audience for this assignment, you will need to find an article (or articles) that describe a problem that a specific company has had because of email.  You will then write the memo and the email as if you work for that company.  You should also have some research which will persuasively demonstrate the repercussions of not having a policy (perhaps through examples of other companies) and/or research that demonstrates how a company was protected through email policy.  Please be sure to document all research in MLA format.
