M-Global Positive Letter: Recommendation_______________ 10%
1. Kevin Kehoe, a technical services employee at your corporate M-Global office, is
being considered for relocation and promotion to Executive Manager of
Technical Services at M-Global’s San Francisco office. Kevin has asked you to
write a letter to the San Francisco Technical Services Senior Executive branch
manager, Jackson Juniper, on his behalf. Although you are now the head of your
department, two years ago, you worked directly with Kevin on the Ocean
Exploration Program in Cameroon (page 473 in your Technical Communications
textbook).
Kevin has asked that your letter deal exclusively with his work on that project.
Kevin, like you, was a manager of the project; you believe that it was largely
through his technical expertise, boundless energy, and organizational skills that
the project was so successful. He developed the technical plan of work that lead
to the clear-cut set of findings. Write a letter that conveys this information to the
branch manager considering Kevin for the promotion. Because the branch
manager does not know the ins and outs of the Ocean Exploration Program on
which you and Kevin worked, your letter should mention some details from the
Ocean’s Program.
