TO: STEVE ZIMS

FROM: VICKI CLARK VC

RE: DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE WRITING PROCESS DATE: April 21, 2017

Following the proposal you addressed to Mr. Brad, I noted your difficulty in integrating your data professionally. Since you have a great idea on integrating the Computer Aided Drafting with fatigue analysis drafting, which is perceived to be of significance, I would wish that you reconsider rewriting you need to create a more precise and well organized proposal that we can forward to the boss. I have therefore indicated the writing process that you need to consider as you draft your final document. Please follow these steps in creating another proposal.

Planning and researching

Kindly Take time to conceptualize your ideas and find other information sources in relation to your research that will help broaden your understanding. It is important that you take time to think through what you would wish your outcome to be consider your purpose, your audience, and your desired outcome before embarking on the proposal.

Organizing and drafting

The information you will have gathered should now be organized logically to promote easy reader understanding of your subject. in a manner that it translates to an understanding of your whole idea by anyone to read the proposal after which you will prepare a first draft When you have created some kind of outline of your ideas and information, begin drafting your proposal using your outline.

Considering style

You need to know that it is a workplace and therefore select the appropriate approach to ensure effective writing.

Designing ???

Revising and editing

This is where In this step, you go through your first draft for identification of missing or rather to identify any additional information that may have been left out.

Here you make amends where possible while eliminating the excess data and ensuring preciseness by incorporating the leads from the previous stage.

You have to note that The workplace writing process is extremely different from the academic writing process. The academic writing could be a little easy since most tasks are based on a single topic which makes it easy to tackle assignments in the least possible time. Contrary to that, The workplace writing process requires more planning about your subject and purpose. a focused

Comment [1]: It is a good idea to initial your memos because sometimes someone else may be typing them up. Initials show that you reviewed the memo before it was sent.

Comment [2]: The date goes at the top.

Comment [3]: This abstruse and imprecise style of writing does not communicate effectively, if at all. Be clear and complete but concise. On seeing the proposal you submitted to Brad, I note your difficulty in organizing and communicating your ideas clearly.

Comment [4]: Using the simple design element of emboldening can facilitate easy reference for the reader.

Comment [5]: Use the same grammatical structure for items in a list or steps.

Comment [6]: This is too vague to be of much help to Steve. He would use both plain style and persuasive style in a proposal. “You need to know that it is a workplace . . . “ To what does it refer?

Comment [7]: This important step is missing. In a proposal, design is likely to be an essential element.

Comment [8]: This is an ungrammatical construction. See p. 675 in your St. Martin’s Handbook.

Comment [9]: This is only one aspect of the revision process. Please be sure to read an upcoming announcement that details more about revision.

Comment [10]: If you were Steve, would this sentence be of any use to you in understanding revising and editing? Make amends for what? Eliminating excess information? Or unnecessary verbiage? Data is a word that has a specific meaning and does not really work in this context. Also what are “the leads”? Again, use simple, straightforward, and concise language.

mindset and more time to facilitate the whole research process and gathering of any important data in relation to implementation of your idea; and also to spice up your writing so that it is as impressive and captivating for the boss to consider it. Also, it requires that the writing be professional and effective in communicating that subject and purpose.

Sharing ideas is another important aspect that you need to consider as opposed to what you chose to do with your previous proposal where in which you were quick to submit it without seeking a second and third person’s opinion. If you had done that, then probably you would have identified your mistaken areas mistakes and even gathered additional helpful ideas.

Your potential to provide a progressive solution for the CAD has seen a positive impression by the boss who Brad is impressed with your software integration idea and is willing to offer you a job if you fulfill your internship with the same brilliance you have shown in this idea of yours. only you prove worthy by how effective you choose to execute your job. I therefore plead that you take enough time that you think will necessitate proper proposal writing. You may also consider reading other proposal samples from textbooks and from the web. This will give you an insight on how proposals are done in your profession, so you can replicate such formats on your proposal.

Regards, Vicki

In the workplace, the employees’ time is valuable, so they appreciate a writer who is aware of this and makes his or her writing straightforward and easy to comprehend because the content is logically presented, concise with carefully chosen words, and grammatically sound. A good workplace writer is trying to communicate ideas and his or her message clearly to the reader.

Your tone is professional and, overall, positive.

There are basically four areas (some overlapping) in which you will be graded in each of these assignments:

1. Assignment requirements: meeting the various requirements 2. Document genre format: creating and using the document format correctly 3. Content and tone: using comprehension-enhancing organization, thorough coverage, and professionalism while being concise and clear and using the appropriate tone to deliver the written message 4. Writing skills: using correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling to communicate ideas clearly and effectively for the reader

Comment [11]: Remove unessential information, and be succinct.

Comment [12]: To plead with Steve is not very professional. Vicki needs to tell Steve that he needs to follow these steps in rewriting his proposal. She also needs to tell him that he must submit the proposal to her for review and give him a deadline for submitting to her. She should close by telling Steve that if he has any questions regarding these steps, he can contact her by phone or email, or by stopping by her office. It is her choice.

Comment [13]: Memos do not use closing lines.
