Graded Homework

WRTG 293 students,

Please watch the following short video on how to write an effective email message.

Then respond to this discussion thread by writing an email message for the following situation:

You are a manager at Jordan Telecommunications. You have noticed that, on two different days last week, the alarm for your building was not set properly when the last person left for the day. When you arrived at the office the next day, you noticed that the alarm system had not been properly set.

This presents a dangerous situation. Your property insurance states in your policy that the alarm must be set if no one is in the building. Of course, the purpose of the alarm is to alert the local police department if someone breaks into the building.

Write an email message of no more than three paragraphs to your staff. The message will state the problem. In addition, it will review the steps one has to take in setting the alarm system.

(Use your creativity when writing the steps for setting the alarm. You can make up your own set of steps. They probably shouldn’t involve more than five steps.)

In composing your email message, write what your subject line will be in addition to your actual message. In other words, you will have the following:

Subject:your subject line goes here

Message:

your message goes here

Please give feedback to at least one other student’s response to this thread. In your feedback, feel free to draw upon the advice in the video or the advice giving in the reading for week 2.
