INSTRUCTIONS – SEE MEMO MODEL ATTACHED.
ASSIGNMENT #1 – Request for Funding Memo
Requests for funding for either a new venture or initiative are
a common business occurrence and demand careful organization to present
a persuasive, thoughtful request. For this Assignment, prepare a
350–500 word persuasive memo to your supervisor requesting that your
company sponsor you individually in a business writing course that is
available at the local university.
If you are not currently working, you may create a fictitious
company, supervisor, and position for yourself. In your memo, provide
your supervisor with the following:
Checklist:
- Justify taking this course; include an outline of the benefits
the company will receive from your participation in such an effort. - Include the amount of money you are seeking,
- Specify how long the course will take you to complete, and how
your time spent completing the course will impact your performance at
work. - Use Chapter 9 in our text for guidance in memo writing;
