Question

This assignment requires you to write a business letter based on the concepts of persuasive messages discussed in the lesson.

Scenario:
You are the member of a student organization at Northeast State University which works to provide professional development opportunities for students. You saw an interesting article in a college magazine describing a “Suitable Suits” program another university implemented. Its career development office kept a closet with 21 crisp black suits of all sizes that students could borrow for job interviews. Students would make an appointment with the office and agree to dry clean the suits before returning them. The program at that university was paid for by a grant. Your student organization believes this would be a good program to implement at Northeast State and should be housed in the Career Services office.

Instructions:
Write a thorough letter to Ginger Martin, Director of Career Services, to persuade her to consider implementing a “Suitable Suits” program in the Career Services office. Think about what you are asking her to do, consider any objections she may have, anticipate her questions, make a strong case, consider what persuasion strategy you want to use, determine how to gain her attention and build interest, plan on how to reduce resistance, consider a motivating action.
