As Assistant Grant Officer for The Ministry of Silly Walks, it is your job to make sure
Question:
As Assistant Grant Officer for The Ministry of Silly Walks, it is your job to make sure all
required paperwork is in order for all grant recipients. The most important piece of paperwork is
the Development Plan, which is a detailed outline of how recipients plan to develop their silly
walks.
Due to recent government cuts, the ministry's budget has been reduced. Anyone who does not
show steady progress will not be eligible for grant renewal.
Eric Praline has not yet turned in the final version of his Development Plan, which is vital for
the evaluation of his progress. When he applied, it was noted in his file that his walk "was not
very silly at all." He only obtained his grant because he had a strong verbal proposal for his
walk's development. However, he has not followed through and submitted a formal and
detailed Development Plan.
Your Task: In a letter OR email, whichever you think best, inform Eric you must have hardcopy
of this paperwork in hand within one week.
Here are some key points you need to consider in your message:
- The Development Plan is the most important piece of paperwork for this file.
- Without a Development Plan, his progress cannot be properly evaluated.
- If his progress cannot be measured, he is at risk of being accused of grant fraud, which
can result in forced repayment of funds, possible criminal prosecution, or potential
exclusion from receiving grant funds of any kind in the future.
- He has to comply with all regulations to be eligible for a grant renewal next year.
- If he is having problems with his Development Plan, he needs to make an appointment to
see his mentor. If he misses the deadline you've given him, his mentor will no longer be
able to intercede on his behalf.
(Please as a letter or email format!)
