Assume you belong to a community organization, and you need to share bad news with the other members of the group. Using the negative message pattern, write an email to this target audience that addresses one of the following topics:

Explain that the meeting place you currently use is no longer available

Explain that your group will need to increase member dues

Some other topic of your choosing (Pro Tip: Avoid picking a topic for an imaginary situation because youll struggle to develop enough information and to create an audience-centered message.)

Be sure to select a situation thats complex enough to require a message thats approximately to 1 page long if the document were printed.

As you craft this message, keep these tips in mind:

a) Use the negative message pattern to guide your work

b) Consider whether the message should include an apology

c) Remember to include accessibility strategies

d) Demonstrate best business writing practices at the word, sentence, paragraph, and document levels
