occur.

No matter which topic you choose, you will wri

te a Routine Inquiry

designed to glean information that

you need via relevant, specific questions.

You

should include a full Memorandum heading as though you

were sending the document to your chosen

professional.

This business professional can be a family

friend, acquaintance,

a person you work(ed) with,

someone from whom you need information for work

purposes,

or simply someone you admire in the professional world.

obtain the information you nee

you will create a Routine Inquiry that

you hope to have answered

. You

emorandum format

(see the example below, as well as

pages 97

–

98 of your textbook).

Your inquiry should i

nclude an introduction of yourself

and why you are writing the inquiry. You’ll also

need

at least 4

good

questions that will help you determine

what your next steps would be. These

questions will of course vary depending on which topic you select

With t

his in mind

, please use the

guidelines underneath each topic choice below to inform your writing choices.

Audience and purpose

are key elements of this assignment.

Assignment Notes:

• Create this Routine Inquiry in Memorandu

m format as a Word document.

• Your submission should be 1

or 2 pages

. Remember, the focus is on being clear with your needs and

uestions

rather

than

filling space to meet a specified assignment length.

• You will upload your finished document to the appropriate

upload

area as a .doc or .docx file.

The topic

options

are described below.

Choose

one of the following topics:

ption #1:

Online Meeting Software

You are a manager for a local restaurant chain with fiv

e locations within the city. Each month,

the management team has a luncheon meeting in which they discuss any issues that have

arisen, the financial health of the business, progress on current initiatives, any ideas for creating

new business, and various o

ther topics.

You will lose points if your Memorandum format is not correct

You think these meetings are a great idea, but you wonder if

hey

are really worth the time and

expense involved.

Having recently attended a meeting of the Restaurant Managers Association (RMA), you learned

that many of your peers

are conducting these business meetings online. One online meeting

technology you kept hearing about was _______________ (WebEx, GoToMeeting, or some

other relevant online meeting provider

—

you choose the specific product). You decide to

research the product

’s website, view the demo, and study the fact sheet about the product. You

determine that this product might be a great alternative to holding these monthly meetings on

site.

To gather more facts before approaching your supervisors, you decide to consult

a person

you

met at the RMA meeting. This person seemed to know a lot about online conferencing and the

particular product you’re interested in.

Think very carefully about what you would like to learn; for instance, you would not want to ask

any question

s that can be readily found on the product’s website. Your target reader is

a busy

professional who has no personal interest in the topic, so plan your document accordingly and

create a Routine Inquiry that includes good questions for this topic.

Option #

: Venue for Company Retreat

The CEO of the small company where you work wants to schedule a relax

and

recharge retreat

for company employees.

You have been given the task of finding a suitable venue for this

retreat. Your company is located just outside of Washington, D.C., and the CEO wants to hold

the retreat in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia, which is about 90 miles from the city. The

CEO specified that the retreat should be more like a getaway than a business meeting, so a cabin

is preferred over a hotel. The retreat is for the 20 company employees only; families are not

invited.

After some research, you believe you have found the id

eal place: a large, isolated cabin

overlooking the valley. You learn about the property from the website.

Here are the specs listed

on the website: T

he cabin will sleep 20 and is equipped with a large kitchen, a deck with 20

chairs, a large

screen TV, and

a game room. The cost is $50 per person per day, except on

weekends and holidays, when the rate

is increased

But you need to know more.

You have tried calling and emailing the venue with no luck. You

therefore decide to send a Routine Inquiry to the venu

e’s owner

in an attempt to get the

information you need.

Evaluate the information provided above, and determine what other factors you would need to

know before booking your company’s retreat at this venue.

You will need to make up a name for this person.

Make up a name for this person.

Option #3: Career Exploration

As a part of your career exploration, you

cently discovered that a mentoring

organizat

ion

exists that provides advice

to people who are considering career paths. This organization is

called Mentors, Inc. You have been considering a particular career, and

you want more

information about it from an experienced professional. Thus, you

have decided to interview a

business professional

from Mentor’s, Inc.,

learn more.

Write a Routine Inquiry in which you ask your questions. Find out the main elements y

ou want

to know about this field of employment in a way that shows consideration for the reader and

demonstrates your own serious interest in the type of job that the mentor does.

If you were to

contact a career mentor, think about the types of questions

you might ask: specifics about the

field, advice for how to enter the field, skills needed for success, etc., are all things you might

include in your inquiry.

Sample Format:

Please see the following documen

, in addition to the information in your textbook, for an idea of how

you should format this assignment.

Please make up a name for this person
