For this paper you will assume you are a new Manager of Sales in a Fortune 500 organization. Your boss, the Director of Sales, came to your office today and stated she is disappointed with the professionalism displayed by members of your team in their emails. She states she has received complaints from coworkers and clients with concerns from your direct reports, such as:

• Sending inappropriate jokes and pictures,
• Grammatically incorrect emails with spelling errors,
• Generic cut and paste emails that lack specificity,
• Too many emails sent to multiple recipients instead of who needs to know
• Emails being sent at all hours of the night rather than primarily during working hours.
• Too much display of emotions in their emails, ranging from silly humor, petty anger, or expressions bad-mouthing coworkers, the organization, as well as senior management.

Your boss stated she hired you to clean this department up, and expects you to do so. She states she wants you to prepare an interoffice memo addressing the inappropriateness of communications and communicate how business communications need to be constructed by your team members going forward.

1. Construct an introductory paragraph, framing the issue and providing a thesis statement, i.e., what your memo will address, and why.
2. Provide a brief definition of effective business communications one paragraph or less. Do so in your own words, not a quote from the text or another source.
3. Provide a summary of guidelines to be followed by your team members to ensure their use of email is aligned with effective business communication practices, and why these guidelines are being implemented, as well as stating how the guidelines will be monitored and enforced.
4. Provide a Conclusion to the memo, summarizing your expectations going forward.
