Negative Message

LETTER 2:

"Bad News" Message

The second prepared correspondence was a negative message. Since most of our W231 class would be reporting to their clients that they had not been chosen, we wrote this message first. In this case, I was able to offer more specialized service to Rusty Quill, since I have followed the company for a significant time and have artistic skills that align with their productions.

Subject: My Proposal Was Not a Finalist + Next Steps

Dear Anil Godigamuwe:

The class has voted, and my proposal on Rusty Quill’s behalf was not a finalist. Each student in our 25-member class reached out to a community partner and pitched them to the class today, using a slide presentation to make a brief (60-75 second) proposal. I have attached my slideshow if you wish to see it.

Next Steps: My Availability

While only the five businesses chosen by the class will receive recommendation reports, I would be happy to offer my individual services to Rusty Quill

As an intern
As a writer
As a composer

I have been studying classical piano for eleven years, writing for four or five years, and composing music for two years.

Although the recommendation report opportunity didn’t pan out, I hope we can work together in the future!

Best wishes,

Tony
