Homework Help: Business Communications

Posted by Rain Misoa on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at 1:18am.

Which of the following would be classified as an informative or possitive message?

A. A request for information
B. An announcement of a policy that reduces benefits
C. A memo for the file recording actions and rationales
D. A letter to an employer announcing you have accepted another offer

I have absolutely no clue as to what the answer may be. I think it could be either B or D but I really am lost as to what the question really wants. In fact, I think they all point to being informative or positive but I know that's not right. Like I said, either B or D. I would really appreciate someone explaining to me what the answer could be. Please and thank you so much!

All are informative.

Now you need to decide which one would be considered positive. What do you think?

I think that C would be the most positive because a letter to an employer saying that you accepted another offer would be negative and so is the one reducing benefits.

So there's A and C left. A can't be it because all you are doing is requesting information, not recieveing so it must be C. At least, that's what I believe to be correct. ^_^

I see none as being specifically positive, which I think involves some sort of approval or praise. Even so, C seems most likely.

a.you just have to ask the info. no need to elaborate things why? you don't have to explain to the readers all the changes that would affect their benefits or their ego.
