Writing a Successful Request Email: Activities
Locate two request emails you have written. Evaluate them by answering these questions:
- Do you explain what led up to your request?
- Do you state precisely the action you want the reader to complete?
- Do you state the time by which it must be completed?
- Do you state the conditions under which it must be completed and delivered to you?
- Do you break out the questions into a list?
- If the request is critical, do you build in a feedback loop to be sure the person is giving you want you want?
How would you change your emails after reading the lesson?
