I need to write write an e-mail based on the following scenario (create it as a regular Word document , rather than as a"real" e-mail.
Your boss has asked you to set up a meeting with a client, Joceyln Talbot, for next Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. . He wants to meet at the King Charles Hotel on River Street and have a lunch meeting. He'll be taking along an assistant manager. Rory Webster, to share his ideas for the next project they're plannning. (note must be 6-10 sentences be sure to follow all the rules of grammar,spelling,usage,punctuation.
(business e-mails.
ok this what I so far.
Dear Ms. Joceyln Talbot
I am writing on behalf of my boss, Mr. Smith. He would like to set up a meeting with you for lunch next Wednesday at 2:00 PM at the King Charles Hotel on River Street. Mr. Smith will be accompanied by his assistant manager, Rory Wester. At the meeting Mr. Wester will share his ideas for the new project they are planning. I would appreciate it very much if could let me know if you are able to attend. Please respond as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Ashley Keheley
Do you have any suggestions on how to improve?
First names are not usually used in salutations.
The first sentence is awkward. Simply this would be better:
Mr. _____ Smith, of _____ Company, wants to meet with you for lunch next Wednesday, June 3, 2009, at ...
What is this new project? Some specifics here would be good. Without those specifics, how do you know Ms. Talbot will agree to meet anyone?
i am your teacher
Your email looks great! It covers all the necessary information and follows the rules of grammar, spelling, usage, and punctuation. However, there are a few suggestions to make it even more effective:
1. Add a subject line: It's always a good idea to have a subject line in your email to set the context. For example, you can use "Meeting Request: New Project Discussion."
2. Use a formal salutation: Instead of "Dear Ms. Jocelyn Talbot," consider addressing her as "Dear Ms. Talbot" to maintain a more professional tone.
3. Provide more details about the meeting: In the body of the email, you can mention the purpose of the meeting and any additional information that might be relevant. For example, you can briefly mention the topic of the project they will be discussing.
4. Be more proactive in setting up the meeting: Instead of requesting a response, you can offer some potential dates and ask if any of them work for Ms. Talbot. This way, she can choose the best option or suggest an alternative time if needed.
Here's an improved version:
Subject: Meeting Request: New Project Discussion
