Question

This assignment requires you to write a business letter based on the concepts of persuasive messages discussed in the lesson.

Scenario:
You are the member of a student organization at Northeast State University which works to provide professional development opportunities for students. You saw an interesting article in a college magazine describing a “Suitable Suits” program another university implemented. Its career development office kept a closet with 21 crisp black suits of all sizes that students could borrow for job interviews. Students would make an appointment with the office and agree to dry clean the suits before returning them. The program at that university was paid for by a grant. Your student organization believes this would be a good program to implement at Northeast State and should be housed in the Career Services office.

Instructions:
Write a thorough letter to Ginger Martin, Director of Career Services, to persuade her to consider implementing a “Suitable Suits” program in the Career Services office. Think about what you are asking her to do, consider any objections she may have, anticipate her questions, make a strong case, consider what persuasion strategy you want to use, determine how to gain her attention and build interest, plan on how to reduce resistance, consider a motivating action.

Subject: Proposal for Suitable Suits Program in the university to assist students in their interview.

Dear Ginger,

This is in reference to the Suitable Suits program that has been implemented in a different university and the objective of the program is to assist the students by having a range of 21 crisp black suits of all sizes available for students to use it for their interview and while returning they needs to dry clean the suit and return it in the condition it was taken and the university is charging the students some amount for the suits.

I believe that this is a creative, unique and helpful idea that actually help students in their interviews to maintain the formal attire that organization's desire. I believe that we should also implement the idea in our university because it will be helpful for the students. We are aware that there will be some cost to the university but that is one time based on which the university will get returns as well as I believe that this will be quite a good venture for the university to help the students. This has already been implemented in one of the universities and there is no doubt that they will showcase this program in their prospectus and may have a competitive advantage over us and I believe that we should not allow that and should implement this as soon as possible within our university.

I hope I am able to enlighten you about the importance of the facility and please feel free to reach out to me for further queries.

Sincerely

Name
