Scenario

 

You work at a local fitness centre, JumpStart. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, your boss has decided that all of the yoga and fitness classes will be cancelled. Your colleague has written the following email, and your boss has asked you to look it over before it is sent out. The email should be written with a negative email structure.

 

Subject: Very crazy situation!!!

 

Hello Whoever You Are,

 

You are probably worried right now. I know I am, LOL. But we know that you are some of our most valued customers, so we knew we maybe should reach out to you.

 

Due to the recommendations by Ontario Public Health that all gatherings of more than 25 people should be avoided, the decision has been made to cancel all yoga and fitness classes from March 15th - April 1st, 2020.

 

I think that our instructors might be able to do to some online classes. This is something I have to figure out.

 

I think you are all super stupendous. Don’t worry about this thing!

 

 

Part A

 

Using the guidelines for negative emails, provide ten (10) pieces of feedback to the writer about their work. The feedback should follow these requirements:

 

  1 “I notice”

  1 “I wonder”

  2 clarifying questions (questions should be about process or intentions)

  5 pieces of constructive, specific and goal-focused feedback

  1 piece of final positive feedback (to complete the sandwich of criticism)

 

Make sure that the feedback is clear and specific, and focused on solutions rather than problems.

 

Part B

 

Rewrite the email, so that it meets the requirements of a negative email more clearly. (The requirements are below.

 

When your assignment is complete, you should have two things in your Word document:

 

1.       The feedback to the original email writer.

2.       A negative email revision.

 

If you have forgotten how to write an indirect email, here are the guidelines the writer needs to consider:

 

Structure

·         Does the structure of the email include a buffer?                                            

·         Does the email list the reasons for the negative news?                                                                 

·         Does the email succinctly and clearly state the negative news in as positive a manner as possible?

·         Does the email’s message overcome any potential objections by providing alternatives?                             

·         Does the email conclude with a goodwill ending?

                                                                                                                                                               

Format

·         Does the email have a SUBJECT: line?    

·         Does the email avoid indents, have multiple short paragraphs, and use a space between paragraphs?

·         Does the email use an appropriate salutation and complimentary close?                              

 

Style

·         Is the email written in conversational English?

·         Is the email written professionally?                                                        

·         Is the email written in a positive manner?

·         Is the email written with you-attitude?
