Your Task:Write mock email. Open a blank page in MS Word. Add the email headings. Type up your message and format your document as an email. Save and submit.

You will identify someone in the industry related to the research topic that you want to interview and/or survey to collect first hand information as part of your research project. Write an email to the subject matter expert of your choice (a professional in the industry who is knowledgeable and qualified to share expert opinion and data) providing background information, explaining the purpose of your project, and how they would be a suitable source of information. You need to be clear and specific as to what you need from them and how much of their time this will take, and what channel of communication you would use for collecting data, and how the data would be used in your report. Draft a request email (needs to be persuasive) that would grant you access to this expert's information.

The first step in this assignment is to identify someone who can answer your research questions and provide data that would lead to substantial conclusions on the topic of your research. Next, do your homework and find out everything you can about this individual. Once you have completed your research, compose a persuasive email applying professional business email guidelines.

Use the following point form outline to organize the information. Post your outline with the email in one file.
