Assignment

You recently paid $250 to Keller & Jenkins for adding a provision in your will to establish a scholarship endowment at your alma mater. While eating lunch in a crowded restaurant, Abigail Kemp, a clerk at Keller & Jenkins, stopped by your table to commend you on your planned generosity. Although no harm was intended, you were placed in the uncomfortable position of explaining the clerk's comments to your lunch guests. Keller & Jenkins provides its clients with a bill of rights that clearly states that client information will be kept strictly confidential.

Your task is to write an e-mail to H. Daniel Keller, the lawyer who performed the legal work for you. Inform him of the situation and seek a full refund for the legal services.

Remember to pick the correct approach to the e-mail; direct or indirect approach, positive or negative message.

E-mail must contain
Date
Salutation
Body (at least 3 paragraphs; opening, body, and conclusion)
Closing
Complimentary Close
Signature Block

It is critical that you read and understand the differences between the "Direct" and "Indirect" approach of writing before completing assignment. This will enhance your understanding of when to utilize each of the above approach and how to structure your letter. In addition, you will understand when to state your request first and then provide facts as opposed to presenting your facts / details first and then stating your request.

If necessary, be prepared to perform additional research to facilitate a good understanding of when and why you would use each approach. A clear understanding of the differences will enhance your grades for this and the next assignment since you will be able to structure your letter appropriately.
